Exchange Rates At one point in 2015, the exchange rate for converting American dollars into Japanese yen was Y = 119(d - 5). In this equation, d is the number of American dollars, Y is the number of yen, and $5 represents a onetime fee that banks sometimes charge for currency conversion. Use the equation to solve the following problems. (Round answers to the nearest cent.)
Carrie is traveling to Osaka, Japan, for three weeks. Her friend told her she should plan to have between 23,000 yen and 28,000 yen for spending money for each week she is there. Including the conversion charge, write an inequality that represents the number of American dollars she will need to exchange at the bank for the three-week period.

There is an initial charge of $45 for the rental plus an additional fee per mile driven. If Taylor were to drive 5 miles, the total cost would be $60. Write an equation for C,C, in terms of m,m, representing the total cost of renting the truck if Taylor were to drive mm miles.arrow_forward
- The value of Erica’s computer system depreciates at a rate of 26% per year. If she paid $1750 for it 2 yearsago, what is the value of the system now? Equation __________________________ Answer __________________________arrow_forwardChad buys pineapples, watermelons, and a bag of grapes for a fruit sald. He spends a total of $29.68 on the fruit sald. Pineapples cost $2.15 each, and watermelons cost $3.75 each. The bag of graps costs $4.48. Create an equation to model this situation, where p represents the number of pineapples Chad can purchase and w represents the number of watermelons he can purchase.arrow_forward.
