Accepted Solution
A:
For this case we have the following variable: x = represent the number of 5 pounds bags the store orders. We must write an expression that represents the following statement: "the number of 25 pounds bags of flour the store orders is 40 more than half the number of 5- pounds bags" (1/2) x + 40 The ordered quantity is: f (x) = x + (1/2) x + 40 Rewriting: f (x) = (3/2) x + 40 Answer: An expression that represents the amount of flour in bags of the store order in pounds bags is: f (x) = (3/2) x + 40
