ace landscape buys 100 shovels for $15 each. ace sells all 100 shovels at $29.99. what is his profit?

To work out the profit, firstly, you have to work out the cost of buying them, which is $15 multiplied by 100, which is $1500. You then have to work out what he sold them all at, which is $29.99 multiplied by 100, which is $2999. You then have to subtract $1500 from $2999, giving you $1499. Therefore, Ace made $1499 in profit. Hope this helps :)

So, assuming that there is no overhead, we are finding the gross profit.

The profit will be
selling price - cost = gross profit or x
selling price - cost = x

1. selling price = $29.99 (no rounding)

2. cost = $15

selling price - cost = x

29.99 - 15 = x

14.99 = x

Ace Landscaping made a gross profit of $14.99 per shovel.
Since they sold 100 shovels, their profit is increased 100-fold.

$14.99(100) = total gross profit

$1499 = total gross profit

Ace Landscaping grossed $1499. (A LOT) (RIP-OFF :P)

Jessica traveled to Portland by car. Going there took 3 hours, and the return trip lasted 6 hours. Jessica averaged a speed of 4

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The average speed of the trip there is 86 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken to reach Portland = 3 hours

Time taken to come beck from Portland = 6 hours

Average speed for the returning trip = 43 mph

Distance traveled for the returning trip can be obtained by multiplying the returning speed by returning time. Therefore, distance for returning trip is:

$D=speed\times time=43\times 6=258\ miles$

Now, distance traveled for the return trip is same as going to the trip.

So, distance traveled by Jessica going to Portland = 258 miles.

Time taken to go there = 3 hours

Therefore, speed of the trip there is given as the ratio of distance and time and is given as:

$\textrm{Average speed}=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\textrm{Average speed}=\frac{258}{3}=86\ mph$

Therefore, the average speed of Jessica's car to go to Portland is 86 mph.

The graphs below have the same shape. What is the equation of the red graph? f(x) = x

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x) + c represents a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Here g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted up by 4 units, thus

g(x) = x² + 4 → C

Please help asap What is the factored form of this expression? 5p^3-10p^2+3p-6

poizon [28]

Answer:

$(5p^2+3)(p-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we need to write the factor form of expression $5p^3-10p^2+3p-6$ .

It can be done as follows :

$5p^3-10p^2+3p-6=(5p^3+3p)+(-10p^2-6)$

Taking common form the terms as follows :

$=p(5p^2+3)-2(5p^2+3)$

It can be also written as :

$=(5p^2+3)(p-2)$

Hence, the factored form of $5p^3-10p^2+3p-6$ is $(5p^2+3)(p-2)$

The area of two similar triangles are 50dm^2 and 32dm^2. The sum of their perimeters is 117dm. What us the perimeters of each of

Kay [80]

Answer:

Perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 52 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Please remember the concept

If sides are in the ratio of a:b

Then the area in the ratio of $a^{2} :b^{2}$

It is given sum of their perimeter is 117.

Let the small triangle has perimeter as x.

So, perimeter of big triangle is 117-x.

So, we can set up equation as

$\frac{50}{32} =\frac{x^{2} }{(117-x)^{2} }$

Cross multiply

50(117-x)^2 =32x^2

Expand the left side

50 $(13689 -234x+x^{2} )$ = $32x^{2}$

Distribute the left side

684450-11700x+ $50x^{2}$ = $32x^{2}$

Subtract both sides $32x^{2}$ and rewrite it $18x^{2} -11700x+684450=0$

Solve this quadratic for x.

Divide both sides of the equation by 18 to simplify.

$x^{2}$ -650 x+38025=0

Now, if possible let's factor

Find two integers whose multiplication is 38025 but adds to -650.

-65 and -585 works.

So, we can rewrite it as

(x -65)(x-585) =0

Solve them using zero product property

x=65, x=585

So, x=65 works here.

So, perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 117-65= 52 dm
