Answer:

$43.13

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price plus the markup = selling price

The markup = original price * percent markup

selling price = original price + original price* percent markup

Factoring out the original price

selling price = original price (1+ percent markup)

Substituting what we know)

69 = original price (1+.60)

69 = original price(1.6)

Divide both sides by 1.6

69/1.6 = original price

43.125 = original price

We round money to the nearest cent

$43.13

Use Fermat's Little Theorem to determine 7^542 mod 13.

m_a_m_a [10]

$a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod p$ where $p$ is prime, $a\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $a$ is not divisible by $p$ .

$7^{13-1}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\\\542=45\cdot12+2\\\\7^{45\cdot 12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{45\cdot 12+2}\equiv 7^2 \pmod {13}\\7^{542}\equiv 49 \pmod{13}$

Answer:

A. Slope is -12 feet per second

B. Yes, it is constant.

<u>Skills needed: Linear Equations, Substitution and Division</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Solving Part A (we need to find the slope):

The slope is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ --> $y_1$ , $y_2$ , $x_1$ , and $x_2$ are all values from the table. We know that the left column is the x-values, and the right column is the y-values as that is the conventional way of depicting them.

2) Using the y-values of 1150 and 1090, and their corresponding x-values (5 and 10 respectively), we can get the slope:

- $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ==> $\frac{1090-1150}{10-5}$ ==> $1090-1150=-60, 10-5=5$ ==> $\frac{-60}{5}$

$\frac{-60}{5} =-12$ , so the slope is -12.

==================================================================

1) Part B (analysis)

We can see that no matter what 2 y-values and their corresponding x values we use, the slope always is the same. This means that the rate of change is constant.
