Set up an algebraic equation that could represent the following situation: Nkateko sells bananas at the low but fixed price of R3/kg. In order to ensure that she makes a reasonable profit, she adds a certain fixed amount of money to any quantity of bananas purchased. A customer who bought 4 kg of bananas was observed paying R14.

The profit for any purchased of bananas is R2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 kg banana = R 3

Banana purchased = 4 kg

So, the cost of 4 kg bananas = 4 x 3 = R 12

Amount paid = R 14

Profit = R 14 - R 12 = R 2

So, the profit on any purchased of bananas is R 2.

8

step-by-step explanation:

just put √(2) * √(32) into a calculator. that will make the answer be 8.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
