(c) 0.44
(d) 14
(e) $98.56
(a) How much profit does Lucy earn when she sells a necklace?
Since the problem states that her profit is the sale price minus the cost of materials and labor, we have the following equation.
P = $15.99 - $3.38 - $5.57
P = $12.61 - $5.57
P = $7.04
So her profit is $7.04 per necklace.
(b) Write a fraction of the profit per sale price of the necklace. Record your answer as a fraction using whole numbers.
The raw fraction is 7.04/15.99, to get rid of the decimal point, multiply top and bottom by 100, getting 704/1599.
The prime factors of 704 are 2,2,2,2,2,2,11 and the prime factors of 1599 are 3,13,41. Since neither 704, nor 1599 share any common factors, the fraction can't be reduced and the final answer is 704/1599.
(c) What decimal of every dollar of the sale price of the necklace is profit using the fraction from Part (b)?
Pardon the lack of formatting
704/1599 = 0.4403
Rounded to the nearest hundredth gives 0.44
(d) Lucy collected $223.86 selling necklaces at a craft fair. How many necklaces did Lucy sell? Show your work.
This question is asking for total cost. So divide the $223.86 by the sale price of $15.99.
$223.86 / $15.99 = 14
14 necklaces were sold.
(e) How much profit did she earn from the number of necklaces she sold? Show your work.
Since we know from (a) that she has $7.04 profit per necklace, just multiply the amount of profit by the number sold. So
$7.04 * 14 = $98.56</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each successive year, he
earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms(years).
From the information given,
a = $32,000
r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05
n = 20 years
The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is
T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)
T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)
T20 = $80862.4
To determine the his total
earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as
Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)
Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is
S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1
S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05
S20 = $1057920
4x-1 all u got to do is remove the parentheses and collect the like terms

Answer:
A. 2x(x+1)(x-6); 0, -1, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros are the values of x that make the factors zero. That is, for binomial factors, they are the opposite of the constant in the binomial factor. For example, the factor (x+1) will be zero when x = -1, so that -1+1 = 0.
This observation eliminates choices B and C.
__
The product of binomial factors looks like this:
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x +ab . . . . . x-coefficient is (a+b)
Once 2x is factored from the given polynomial, the resulting quadratic is ...
x^2 -5x -6
This means the sum of the constants in the binomial terms must be -5. That will only be the case for choice A.
