Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 9 +2x + 9 = 2x - 2
5x = 2x - 2
5x - 2x = - 2
3x = - 2
x= - 2/ 3
Answer: it will take 40 rides to break even.
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit = Revenue - total cost
At the point of break even, there is no profit. It means that
revenue = total cost
The cost c (in dollars) for the fuel and maintenance of a go-cart is given by
c = 10x + 1200
where x is the number of rides. It costs $40 per ride. This means that the revenue gotten from x rides is 40x.
In order to break even, it means that
40x = 10x + 1200
40x - 10x = 1200
30x = 1200
x = 1200/30
x = 40

The time needed at 2 meters per second for both rounds would be 100/2 s or 50 seconds. For the first lane he already used 50/1.5 -> 33.33 seconds, so he would need to cover the other 50 meters in exactly 16.67. 50m divided by the 16.67 seconds he has left means he has to swim at a speed of 3 meters per second.
Answer:
profit = 129.63% (to the nearest hundredth) as a percent of the price the store paid for the book
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the percentage change formula:
percent change = [ (difference between the initial value and the final value) ÷ initial value] x 100
= [ (6.20 - 2.70) ÷ 2.70 ] x 100
= [ 3.5 ÷ 2.70 ] x 100
= 37/27 x 100
= 129.6296296...
= 129.63% (to the nearest hundredth)
