Equation  1):

You want to buy something that costs $166.66, and it's on sale for 25% off. What is the item's sale price?

First, convert the 25% to a real mathematical number. For percent's, this is always done by dividing the 25% by 100%, or 25% / 100% = 0.250.

Second, find out what 25% of $166.66 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by multiplying 0.250 by the item's cost $166.66, like this:  

0.250 x $166.66 = $41.67.

So for this sale, you'll save $41.67 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is  

$166.66 - $41.67 = $125.00.

Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 25% off. This means you'll pay 75.000% of the total cost (100% - 25% = 75.000%).

Now what's 75.000% of the total cost?  

0.750 x $166.66 = $125.00.

Answer =====> Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $125.00.





Equation 2:)

You want to buy something that costs $125, and it's on sale for 25% off. What is the item's sale price?

First, convert the 25% to a real mathematical number. For percent's, this is always done by dividing the 25% by 100%, or 25% / 100% = 0.250.

Second, find out what 25% of $125 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by multiplying 0.250 by the item's cost $125, like this:  

0.250 x $125 = $31.25.

So for this sale, you'll save $31.25 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is  

$125 - $31.25 = $93.75.  

Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 25% off. This means you'll pay 75.000% of the total cost (100% - 25% = 75.000%).

Now what's 75.000% of the total cost?

0.750 x $125 = $93.75.

Answer =====> Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $93.75.




Hope that helps!!!                                                     : )

Sophia owns a clothing store that sells graphic T-shirts. n is the number of
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

n = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is the number of T-shirt sell each month, then the revenue function of Sophia's store is r = 21n .......... (1)

and the cost function of her store is C = 16n + 750 ........ (2)

Now, at break-even point, the revenue of a business is equal to its cost.

Therefore, r = C {From equations (1) and (2)}

⇒ 21n = 16n + 750

⇒ 5n = 750

⇒ n = 150

So, the break-even point of the store will occur when the number of T-shirt production is 150. (Answer)

Assume that x is a char variable has been declared and already given a value. Write an expression whose value is true if and onl
Lorico [155]

Answer:

bool b = isupper(x);

Step-by-step explanation:

I have written the expression for a char variable x.The isupper(x) will return true if the character x is upper case and false if the character x is lower case.

I have stored the returned value to a bool variable b .So the value of variable b will be true only when the x is in uppercase and false when b is lower case.

The line $y = 3$ intersects the graph of $y = 4x^2 + x - 1$ at the points $A$ and $B$. The distance between $A$ and $B$ can be w
raketka [301]

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the points A and B.

We know that the y-coordinates of both are 3.

So let's first solve:

3=4x^2+x-1

Subtract 3 on both sides:

0=4x^2+x-1-3

Simplify:

0=4x^2+x-4

I'm going to use the quadratic formula, x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, to solve.

We must first compare to the quadratic equation, ax^2+bx+c=0.

a=4

b=1

c=-4

\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(4)(-4)}}{2(4)}

\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+64}}{8}

\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{65}}{8}

Since the distance between the points A and B is horizontal. We know this because they share the same y-coordinate.This means we just need to find the positive difference between the x-values we found for the points of A and B.

So that is, the distance between A and B is:

\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}}{8}-\frac{-1-\sqrt{65}}{8}

\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}+1+\sqrt{65}}{8}

\frac{2\sqrt{65}}{8}

\frac{\sqrt{65}}{4}

If we compare this to \frac{\sqrt{m}}{n}, we should see that:

m=65 \text{ and } n=4.

So m-n=65-4=61.

11. A square-shaped floor is covered with congruent square tiles. If the total number of tiles that lie on the two diagonals is
natita [175]

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Since the number of tiles lying on both diagonals is 37. Let x represent the number of tiles on each side.

Counting one tile twice, there are:

  • 37=2x-1
  • x=19 tiles on each side.

19² = 361

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.
