After the announcement of a sale, a bookstore sold 1/2 of all its books in stock. On the following day, this bookstore sold 4,000 more books. Now only 1/10 of the number of books in stock before the sale remain in the store. How many books were in stock before the announcement of the sale?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

155

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of paperback books sold. Then p-60 is the number of hardback books sold. Total revenue will be the sum of products of price and quantity.

 2.99p +3.49(p-60) = 795 . . . . . an equation for total revenue

 6.48p -209.40 = 795.00 . . . . . simplify

 6.48p = 1004.40 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 209.40

 1004.40/6.48 = p = 155 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of p

The owner sold 155 paperback books.

Complete Question

A contestant in a game show has​ 9,000 points. The contestant answers the next question incorrectly and loses 750 points. Does the word​ "lose" suggest a positive integer or a negative​ integer? What integer represents a loss of 750​ points?

a) Positive, + 750

b) Positive , - 750

c) Negative , +750

d) Negative , - 750

Answer:

d) Negative , - 750

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that the contestant has 9000 points

Then he loses 750 points.

This means that the 750 points would be deducted from the 9000 points he the contestant has already.

The word lose is a negative and it carries the Subtraction (-) sign,

hence, lose suggests a negative integer which is given as:

-750

A car lot owner is trying to get rid of this year's inventory to make room for the new vehicles. He paid $25,599 for a red truck. If he sells it to a customer for $22,000, what mark down percentage did he use?

Answers

Answer:

14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

given data

Cost price of vehicle=  $25,599

Selling price of vehicle= $22,000

Required

The percentage discount in the price

Step two:

% discount= cost price-selling price/cost price*100

% discount= 25,599-22,000/25,599*100

% discount= 3599/25,599*100

% discount= 0.140*100

% discount= 14%

The mark down percentage use is 14%

The variables x an y vary directly. When x=13, y=52. Which equation correctly relates x and y?

Answers

Answer:

The equation which correctly relates x and y is y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the direct variation is y = k x, where

k is the constant of variationTo find the value of k, use the initial values of x and y

∵ The variables x and y vary directly

→ Use the form of the equation above

y = k x

∵ When x = 13, y = 52

→ That means the initial values of x and y are 13 and 52

x = 13 and y = 52

→ Substitute them in the equation above to find k

52 = k (13)

∴ 52 = 13k

→ Divide both sides by 13

4 = k

∴ The value of k is 4

→ Substitute it in the equation

y = 4x

The equation which correctly relates x and y is y = 4x

By AA similarity triangle ABC and triangle LMN are similar. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

What are similar triangles?

Two triangles are similar if the angles are the same size or the corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Either of these conditions will prove two triangles are similar.

In the given triangle ABC, ∠A=50° and ∠B=75°.

In the given triangle LMN, ∠L=50° and ∠M=75°

From the given triangles,

∠A=∠L=50°

∠B=∠M=75°

By AA similarity triangle ABC and triangle LMN are similar.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

What does it mean to translate an x and y coordinate into a composition?

Answers

Answer: When a point or figure on a coordinate plane is moved by sliding it to the right or left or up or down, the movement is called a translation. The figure is translated from one position to another. Example 1: A point is located at (3, 7) on the coordinate plane. In geometry, a translation is the shifting of a figure from one place to another without rotating, reflecting, or changing its size. This is done by moving the vertices of the figure to the prescribed number of spaces on a coordinate plane and then drawing the new figure. There are four main types of transformations: translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation. These transformations fall into two categories: rigid transformations that do not change the shape or size of the preimage and non-rigid transformations that change the size but not the shape of the preimage.

The  value is  [tex]P = 131.07[/tex]

Step -by -step -explanation :

 From the question we are old that

         The sample size is  n =  20  

         The sample mean for the first person of each twin is  [tex]\= x = 100.45[/tex]

         The sample mean for the second person of each twin is  [tex]\= y = 103[/tex]

          The  correlation between both data is  r =  0.908

         The p-value is  p-value  =  0.000

          The  equation  [tex]\^ y = 13.47 + 1.12 x[/tex]

         

Here we are told that x represents  the first person to be given birth to among each twin  

       The value of x  considered is  x = 105

          Generally given that p-value  =  0.000

Then  the  Predicted value of  [tex]\^ y[/tex]  is mathematically represented as

           [tex]P = 13.47 + 1.12 (105)[/tex]

=>         [tex]P = 131.07[/tex]

Suppose Metro by T-Mobile wants to offer a simple extended warranty plan. If your phone is damaged, they will repair it for up to $50. If you lose or destroy your phone, they will give you a $200 voucher towards a new phone. The company believes that 5% of customers will need the replacement voucher and 10% will request a repair. What is the standard deviation?

Answers

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Voucher awarded (x) :

Repair = $50

Lose or destroy = $200

P(x):

Replacement voucher = 5%

Repair voucher = 10%

X ______ 50 ______ 200

P(x) ____ 0.1 _______ 0.05

Expected variance Var(X) :

ΣX²p(x) - E(x) ;

E(x) = Σx*p(x) = (50*0.1) + (200*0.05) = 15

ΣX²p(x) = Σ[(50^2 * 0. 1) + (200^2 * 0.05)] = 250 + 2000 = 2250

Var(X) = 2250 - 15^2 = 2025

Standard deviation = √Var(x)

Standard deviation = √2025

Standard deviation = $45

The relation which is a function.

Solution:

Consider the options are :

(a) {(2, 7), (6, 5), (4, 4), (3, 3), (2, 1)}

(b) {(9, −3), (9, 3), (4, −2), (4, 2), (0, 0)}

A relation is a function if there exist a unique y-value for each x-value.

In option (a), y=7 and y=1 at x=2. So, it is not a function.

In option (b), y=-3 and y=3 at x=9. So, it is not a function.

In option (c), y=0 and y=1 at x=3. So, it is not a function.

In option (d), there are unique y-value for each x-value. So, it is a function.

Therefore, the correct option is (d).
