A man buys a dozen computers for $15,000. He sells each of the computers for $2150. What percent profit does he earn?

1 answer:

8 0

We calculate the raised money
raised money=number of computers x price of a computer.
raised money=12($2150)=$25,800

We calculate the profits:
profit=raised money-money spent
profit=$25,800 - $15,000=$10,800

We calculate the percent profit.

$15,000=100%

therefore:

$15,000------------------100%
$10,800------------------ x

x=($10,800 * 100%) / $15,000=72%

Answer: the percent profit will be 72%.

Answer:

(-3, 1) quadrant II (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

An image of the coordinate plane is show. The quadrants start at the top right and move around in the counter-clockwise direction. The x-axis is horizontal (side to side) and y-axis is vertical (up and down). Starting at the origin of the coordinate plane (0, 0) and going three blocks west (left) would put you at -3 on the x-axis. If you then proceed to go north (up) +1, you would now be at point (-3, 1) which is a (-x, +y) or in quadrant II.
