The percent increase is 48.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Purchase price of used-droid = $2900

Selling price of used=droid = $4300

Profit = Selling price - purchase price

Profit = 4300-2900 = $1400

Percent increase = $\frac{Profit}{Purchase\ price}*100$

$Percent\ increase=\frac{1400}{2900}*100\\\\Percent\ increase=\frac{140000}{2900}\\\\Percent\ increase=48.275\%$

Rounding off to nearest hundredth;

Percent increase = 48.28%

The percent increase is 48.28

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): <br> -2x^2 + 5x - 10 = 3

KatRina [158]

Subtract 3 from both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x - 13 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                                      x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                                      x = [ -5 ± √((5)^2 - 4(-2)(-13)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(25 - (104) ) ] / ( -4 )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(-79) ] / ( -4)
Since √-79 is nonreal, the answer to this question is that there are no real solutions.

Simplify 2x – 9y + 4x + 11y by combining like terms and then evaluate at x = -2<br> and y = 4.

Mashcka [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

= 2x - 9y + 4x + 11y

First of all combining like terms

= 2x + 4x - 9y + 11y

= 6x + 2y

Now putting values

= 6 (-2) + 2(4)

= - 12 + 8

= - 4

A bank is advertising the following savings account.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

6.66%

Step-by-step explanation:

((1 + r/m)^n) - 1

Interest rate , r = 6.5%

m = number of compounding times per period = 4 (quarterly interest)

((1 + 0.065/4)^4) - 1

((1 + 0.01625) ^4) - 1

((1.01625)^4) - 1

1.06660 - 1

= 0.0666

0.0666 * 100%

= 6.66%
