Concept explainers
Studies have shown that college students get about 6½ hours of sleep per night on average, but that academic achievement improves when students average 8 hours of sleep. What percentage of the hours in a week would be devoted to sleep if you get 6½ hours of sleep per night? What if you get 8 hours? How do you feel our friend from Question 1 is doing when it comes to sleep? Explain your answer.

Gigabytes GB of data included Monthly Cost Each additional megabytes MB Plan A Plan B Plan C 1 1 1 25.00 40.00 60.00 2.00 1.50 1.00 From past experience, Gwendolyn knows that she will always use more than 1GB of cell phone data every month. aMake table of values that shows the cost of each plan for 1 GB to 4 GB, in 500 MB increments. bFind formulas that give Gwendolyns monthly cost for each plan, assuming that she uses x gigabytes of data per month where x1. cWhat is the charge from each plan when Gwendolyn uses 2.2 GB? 3.7 GB? 4.9 GB? d Use your formulas from part b to determine the number of gigabytes of data usage for which: (i) Plan A and Plan B give the same cost. (ii) Plan A and Plan C give the same cost. (iii) Plan B and Plan C give the same cost.arrow_forward
