The cost price of the table is $40.

<h3>What is Gain ?</h3>

Gain is the amount gain by selling the product at a higher price than its cost.

Let the cost of the table is $ x

The percentage gain is x%  (as given in the question)

Cost price = ?

It is known that

Step 1 : Gain = ( selling Price - Cost Price) * 100 / Cost Price

Selling price = 56

Cost Price = $ x

Therefore substituting the value

x = (56 - x) * 100 / x

x² = 5600 - 100x

x² +100x -5600 = 0

Step 2 : Factorizing

x² + 140x - 40 x -5600 = 0

x( x+14 ) -40( x +14) = 0

( x - 40)(x +14) = 0

x = $40

Therefore the cost price of the table is $40.

Answer:

x<3 and x≥5

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the circles and what is shaded on the number line.  The first circle is at x=3, and it's an open circle.  An open circle means that the interval does not include that point.  The arrow is going to the left, meaning x < 3.

The next circle is at x=5.  It is a closed circle, so the interval does include that point (so draw a bar under the less than/greater than sign).  Next, notice how the arrow is pointing to the right.  That means that the blue area is at x=5 and greater than x=5, so x≥5.

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve y - 4.5 = 12.2?
maw [93]
Y - 4.5 = 12.2

your solving for y which means your trying to get rid of 4.5 so that y can equal something. The opposite of -4.5 would be +4.5, so you would add 4.5 to both sides to get 

y = 16.7

So your answer would be 

A. Add 4.5

and also dont' say your stupid because all you need is a little explanation and you'll get it, its very easy you just need to take the time to practice :-)
