Let 's' represent the amount of sales.

Plan 1:

\text{ \$700 + (4\% of s)}\begin{gathered} \text{ \$700+(}\frac{\text{4}}{100}\times s) \\ \text{ \$700+(0.04}\times s)=\text{ \$700}+0.04s \end{gathered}

Plan 2:

12\text{ \% of s}\begin{gathered} \frac{12}{100}\times s \\ 0.12\times s=0.12s \end{gathered}

Equating the two plans together and solving for the amount of sales,

\begin{gathered} \text{Plan 2=Plan 1} \\ 0.12s=\text{ \$700+0.04s} \\  \end{gathered}

Collecting like terms,

\begin{gathered} 0.12s-0.04s=\text{ \$700} \\ 0.08s=\text{\$700} \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 0.08,

\begin{gathered} \frac{0.08s}{0.08}=\frac{\text{ \$700}}{0.08} \\ s=\text{ \$8750} \end{gathered}

Hence, the amount of sales is $8,750.

Parcc chapter 7 pythagorean theorem
Bumek [7]
So, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.  Right?  That is called the Pythagorean Theorem.

In this case.  We can say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.
NOTE: It doesn't really matter whether 39 is a or b.  a & b are just the two legs of the right triangle.

So, if we say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.  We can plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem.

39^2 + 40^2 = x^2

I'll let you take it from there.

PLEASE HELP

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2+5x+4}\leqslant 0

  • Solving denominator

\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2+5x+4>0

\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2+4x+x+4>0

\\ \sf\longmapsto x(x+4)+1(x+4)>0

\\ \sf\longmapsto (x+4)(x+1)>0

\\ \sf\longmapsto x>-4\:or x>-1

  • Hence x\neq-1
  • x can't be 0 as it makes function undefined

\\ \sf\longmapsto -4

Geometric sequence find common ratio 0.45,0.9,1.8
prisoha [69]

Answer:

<h3>The common ratio is 2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio of the geometric sequence divide the previous term by the next term

That's

0.9 / 0.45 = 2

1.8 / 0.9 = 2

Therefore the common ratio is 2

Hope this helps you

X2 + y2 + 6x – 2y+3 = 0?<br> What is the radius of a circle with the equation
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello : write this expression

X² + y² + 6x – 2y+3 = 0  in the standard form

(x²+6x) +(y²-2y) +3 = 0

(x²+6x+9 -9) +(y²-2y+1 - 1) +3 = 0

(x²+6x+9) -9 +(y²-2y+1) - 1 +3 = 0

(x+3)²+(y-1)² = 7(the standard form)

but : 7 = (√7)²

<h2>the radius is : √7</h2>
