48.012001 is the answer to this problem
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
each box has 12 melon for 15 dollars:
the price of one melon : 15/12=1.25 dollar each
he bought 12 boxes of melon and paid 15 dollars for each :
12*15=180 dollars
total melon is : 12*12=144 dollars
he sold 3/4 of a melon : 3/4 *144=108
the cost of 108 : 108*1.25= 135 dollars
at a price of $ 1.6 = 108*1.6= 172.8
the rest of the melon sold at reduce price=
144-108= 36
over all profit = 15 %
180*(1+0.15)=207 dollars profit
selling 108 melons : $172.8
overall profit - profit from selling 108 melons: 207-172.8=$34.2
<h2>reduced price = 34.2/36=0.95 dollars</h2>
To find the slope you rise before you run and if you can't rise then you go downwards so it would be down -3 over positive 2
Answer:
y= -1/4x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
So the point slop form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope : -1/4, and b is the y-intercept (which we don't know yet).
To find b, all you need to do is plug in -1/4 for m and the point (4, -7) for x and y respectively, giving you:
-7 = (-1/4)(4) + b
Then do some algebra shenanigans: multiply -1/4 by 4 to get -1
-7 = -1 + b
then add the 1 to both sides.
b = -6
Then, you can plug the b and the m back into the problem to give you:
y = -1/4x - 6
