A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books,which originally sell for b dollars,by 46 percent. What is the

markdown as a decimal. Write an expression for the sale price of the hardcover book. What is the same price of a hardcover book for which the original retail price was $29.00? If you buy the book in part c, how much do you save by paying the sale price?

We are given original selling price of book = $b.

Price is marked down by 46%.

46% can be written as 46/100 in decimals it would be 0.46.

Therefore, markdown as a decimal is 0.46

Now, markdown is 0.46 of original price = 0.46b

Therefore, new price after marked down can be written by expression =

b - 0.46b = 0.56b.

<h3>Therefore, the expression for the sale price of the hardcover book is 0.56b.</h3>

If original retail price was = $29.00.

The sale price would be 0.56b = 29*0.56 = $15.66.

Total saving = 29-15.66 = $13.34.

Therefore, you save $13.34 by paying the sale price $15.66.

Factor p^2−6−q·(p^2−6)^2

Olenka [21]

Answer:

(p^2−6) (1-q(p^2-6))

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2−6−q·(p^2−6)^2

Put parentheses around the P^2-6 at the beginning of the expression

(p^2-6) -q (p^2−6)^2

Factor out (p^2−6)

(p^2−6) (1-q(p^2-6))

The manager wants to advertise that anybody who isn't served within a certain number of minutes gets a free hamburger. But she d

aksik [14]

Answer:

The number of minutes advertisement should use is found.

x ≅ 12 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

(MISSING PART OF THE QUESTION: AVERAGE WAITING TIME = 2.5 MINUTES)

<h3 /><h3>Step 1</h3>

For such problems, we can use probability density function, in which probability is found out by taking integral of a function across an interval.

Probability Density Function is given by:

$f(t)=\left \{ {{0 ,\-t$

Consider the second function:

$f(t)=\frac{e^{-t/\mu}}{\mu}\\$

Where Average waiting time = μ = 2.5

The function f(t) becomes

$f(t)=0.4e^{-0.4t}$

<h3>Step 2</h3>

The manager wants to give free hamburgers to only 1% of her costumers, which means that probability of a costumer getting a free hamburger is 0.01

The probability that a costumer has to wait for more than x minutes is:

$\int\limits^\infty_x {f(t)} \, dt= \int\limits^\infty_x {}0.4e^{-0.4t}dt$

which is equal to 0.01

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Solve the equation for x

$\int\limits^{\infty}_x {0.4e^{-0.4t}} \, dt =0.01\\\\\frac{0.4e^{-0.4t}}{-0.4}=0.01\\\\-e^{-0.4t} |^\infty_x =0.01\\\\e^{-0.4x}=0.01$

Take natural log on both sides

$ln (e^{-0.4x})=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=-4.61\\x= 11.53$

<h3>Results</h3>

The costumer has to wait x = 11.53 mins ≅ 12 mins to get a free hamburger
