A store sells pool floats.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrei [34K]2 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the original retail price was 120% of the manufacturer price (100% manufacturer price + 20% markup).

now, the whole retail price is reduced by 12%.

that means we have to subtract 12% from the 120%.

but careful, we cannot just do 120-12=108.

that is simply because these 120% are now for this calculation the new basic amount and therefore 100%.

we actually need to calculate and subtract 12% of 120 to get the new percentage over the manufacturer price.

we do this by multiplying 120 by (100-12)/100 = 88/100 = 0.88 :

120 × 0.88 = 105.6%

so, the new retail price is now only 5.6% over the manufacturer price.

If <br> B is the midpoint of AC, AB=x+6 and AC=5x-6, then what is BC?
nikklg [1K]

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB=BC. It is also BC=AC-AB

AB = x + 6

AC = 5x - 6

BC = (5x - 6) - (x + 6)

We can kinda use distributive property, like this:

BC = 5x - 6 -x - 6

Combine like terms:

BC = 4x - 12

To verify, we can add AB and BC to see if their sum is equal to AC.

(x + 6) + (4x - 12) = 5x - 6

If we are correct, this equation will be true.

x + 6 + 4x - 12 = 5x - 6

Combine like terms:

6 + 5x - 12 = 5x - 6

5x - 6 = 5x - 6

It's correct!

BC = 4x - 12. Final Answer.

Let me know if you have any questions about this! :)

Length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width. Four squares are constructed outside the rectangle such that each of the sq
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't

However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.

Solution

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)

Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)

Area = 2*s^2

x = s

Area = 2 * x^2

Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2

Total Area

x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120                 Expand

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120     Remove the brackets

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120      collect the like terms on the left

5x^2 + 25x +  50 = 120                                   Subtract 120 from both sides.

5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0                                         Divide through by 5

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0                                               Factor

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0                                                 x + 7 has no meaning  

x - 2 =  0

x = 2                                                              

Perimeter

P = 2*w + 2*L

w = 2

L = 2 + 5

L = 7

P = 2*2 + 2 * 7

P = 4 + 14

P = 18
