I 10. A small town in the mountains needs to buy road salt for
the coming winter. It has found two companies that use
the following pricing table.
Road Salt
(tons)
Company 1
Company 2
5
$1775
$2750
10
$3350
$4000
15
$4925
$5250

At 20 tons the cost will be the same for both, $6,500

Step-by-step explanation:

First,  for company 1 you need to subtract $4925 by $3350 which equals 1,575 to get the amount added for each ton.

Then, for company 2 you need to subtract 5250 by 4000= 1,250

Lastly add 4925 by 1,575= 6,500 and 5,250 by 1,250= 6,500 too.

I hope this makes sense! Btw it's Ashley hehehe:)

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
