Blake buys a couch for $1000 and sells it for $1200. Calculate his profit as a percentage of the cost price.

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve the problem in 2 steps, one being Solving, and the second being Comprehending. I'll start with comprehending.

Comprehending

We can start by analyzing the problem and creating an equation to then begin solving.

So, we know that a number, which we will call [tex]x[/tex] has a discount of 10% to get the current price of $810. We know that when there is a discount, we need to find what the 10 percent is then add it to the current price;$810.

We can create a formula and steps by doing the following:

[tex]x*0.9=810[/tex]

We have 0.9 as there is a 10% discount (0.1) and we subtract 1.00 by 0.1 to get 0.9. (Which is 90%).

This states that 90% of a number is equal to 810.

Now that we have an equation, we can begin solving.

Solving

We can solve the problem by using basic algebra.

[tex]x*0.9=810\\x*\frac{9}{10}=810\\x=(810*10)\div 9\\x=8100 \div 9\\x=900[/tex]

On step 1, we convert the decimal to a fraction for easy simplification/solving.

On step 2, we split the fraction into two and since we're dividing, we can flip the fraction and multiply by 10 and divide by 9.

On step 3, we use basic algebra and after step 4 we get our answer.

We can double check out answer by doing the following:

[tex]900-(900*0.10)=810?\\900-90=810?\\810=810[/tex]

We have checked our answer and gotten our answer of $900.

Cheers!

Answer:  b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a ratio of b/2 that is equal to the ratio of 1/4 to 1 1/4 (or 5/4).

Ratio of (1/4)/(5/4):

(1/4)/(5/4) = (1/4)*(4/5) = 4/20 = 1/5 or 0.2

We want 2/b = 1/5 or 0.20

2/b = 0.20

b = 2/0.20

b = 10

--

Check:  Does 10/2 = (1/4)/(5/4)?

Yes

b is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x intercepts are 5 and 7

The third point I used was (6,-2); however, you can use any other point you want as long as it's not one of the x intercepts mentioned.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The x intercepts are 5 and 7, where the parabola crosses the x axis. Because of these roots, the two factors are x-5 and x-7.

We can think of the root x = 5 turning into x-5 = 0 after subtracting 5 from both sides. The same goes for x = 7 turning into x-7 = 0.

Put together, the two factors lead to (x-5)(x-7) and we get the equation y = (x-5)(x-7). Plugging either x = 5 or x = 7 into this equation produces y = 0.

-------------------

Notice that plugging in x = 6 leads to...

y = (x-5)(x-7)

y = (6-5)(6-7)

y = (1)(-1)

y = -1

However, the graph shows that x = 6 should lead to y = -2 instead. To fix this, we can stick a 2 out front like so

y = 2(x-5)(x-7)

y = 2(6-5)(6-7)

y = 2(1)(-1)

y = -2

The error has been fixed. As you can see, we need this third point to help nail down the parabolic equation. You can pick any other x value you want as long as it's not 5 or 7.

-------------------

Let's try another x value. Let's say we pick x = 8

y = 2(x-5)(x-7)

y = 2(8-5)(8-7)

y = 2(3)(1)

y = 6

We see that x = 8 leads to y = 6. This matches what the graph shows that (8,6) is a point on the parabola. I'll let you try other x values.

-------------------

In short, we used the roots 5 and 7 to generate the partial factorization (x-5)(x-7). Then we used a third point (6,-2) to help determine the coefficient out front which was 2.

So after using that point, we go from y = (x-5)(x-7) to y = 2(x-5)(x-7) which is the final answer. This is considered x-intercept form because we can quickly read off the x intercepts from this equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-3x--3+8x-24=6x+7-5x[/tex]

Two negative signs equate to a positive sign, so we can write [tex]--3[/tex] as just [tex]3[/tex]:

[tex]-3x+3+8x-24=6x+7-5x[/tex]

Add up similar terms:

[tex]5x-21=x+7[/tex]

Add 21 to both sides:

[tex]5x-21+21=x+7+21[/tex]

[tex]5x=x+28[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides:

[tex]5x-x=x+28-x[/tex]

[tex]4x=28[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]\frac{4x}{x} =\frac{28}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=7[/tex]

Answer:

330/495 = 2/3

the answer is 2/3

Answer:

3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pages : allotted pages = 495 : 330

Find the HCF of 495 and 330

495 = 5 * 3*3*11

330 = 5 * 3 * 2 * 11      

HCF = 5 * 3 * 11 = 165

Divide 495 and 330 by 165

495 : 330 = 3 : 2

Answer:

The numbers are : 60 , 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even numbers be 2x , 2x + 2

2x + 2x + 2 = 122

Combine like terms

4x + 2 = 122

Subtract 2 from both sides

4x = 122 - 2

4x = 120

x = 120/4

x = 30

2x = 2*30 = 60

2x + 2 = 2*30 + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62

4) total length of the journey is

1st hr = 74km 224m = 74224m

2nd hr = 74km 224m = 74224m

3rd hr = 58km 56m = 58056m

4th hr = 62km 8m = 62008 m

total distance (adding all) = 268512m = 268km 512m .

5) total weight = 22kg 200g = 22200g

mangoes weight = 14kg 750g = 14750g

apples weight = 5kg 80g = 5080g

total weight - fruits weight

(22200-14750-5080)g

= 2370g

= 2kg 370g.

a quadratic equation has a x^2 term

Answer:

If one of the data points has the form \displaystyle \left(0,a\right)(0,a), then a is the initial value. Using a, substitute the second point into the equation \displaystyle f\left(x\right)=a{\left(b\right)}^{x}f(x)=a(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ginger ales be $x and the bagels $y.

Case 1, 2x+2y=6.60 x+y=3.30 ......1

Case 2, 4x+3y=11.70. .....2

1, x+y=3.30...×4

2, 4x+3y=11.70...×1

1, 4x+4y=13.20

2, 4x+3y=11.70

(-) (-) (-)

____________

y=1.50

____________

now, placing the value of y in equation 1,

x+y=3.30

x+1.50=3.30

x=1.80

therefore, the exact cost of one bagel and one ginger ale is $1.50 and $1.80 respectively.

hope this helps you.
