The equation that represents Camille's profit p as a function of the number of doughnuts sold, n is P = 1.35n - 60

<h3>How to represent an equation ?</h3>

She bought 120 doughnuts for $60.

Therefore,

cost = $60

Her profit was $48 once she sold 80 doughnuts.

p = profit

n = number of doughnuts sold.

Therefore,

let

x = amount she is selling each doughnuts

p = nx - 60

Using the information given we have:

48 = (80x) - 60

Therefore,

x = $1.35

Hence, for any number of doughnuts then, we have the profit equation as follows:

P = 1.35n - 60

The amount of tax for each camera is $5.25 and the tax rate is 6%. Explain how the equation: (Original Cost)(Percent) = Tax Amou

Degger [83]

x(1.06)=5.25

The reason it is 1.06 is because it is the original cost plus tax. You can divide each side by 1.06 to get x roughly equals 4.95.

So $4.95 is roughly what the camera costs rounded to the nearest cent.

How much smaller is the sum of the first 1000 natural numbers than the sum of the first 1001 natural numbers?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

ANSWER

1001

EXPLANATION

The sum of the first n - natural numbers is

$S_n= \frac{n}{2} (2a + d(n - 1))$

The sum of the first 1000 terms is

$S_{1000}= \frac{1000}{2} (2(1) + 1(1000 - 1))$

$S_{1000}=500 (1001)$

$S_{1000}=500500$

The sum of the first 1001 terms is

$S_{1001}= \frac{1001}{2} (2(1) + 1(1001 - 1))$

$S_{1001}= 1001 \times (501)$

$= 501501$

The difference is

$501501 - 500500= 1001$

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1 day

Step-by-step explanation:

i don't know hot to explain it, but technically i multiplied 1.8 time 60 (because there is 60 minutes in an hour, which will equal 108. now i multiplied 108 times 24 to see how many pages he can read in a day and it gave me 2592 and he only has to read 300 pages. So technically he can read 8 or more books of 300 pages in a day.
