Substitute in the points. It doesn't matter if they ar pe variables or not, since the variable b is used already in the equation, making it possible to find.

Substitute in the y value for the y in the equation and do the same for the x.

-3=2b+b
-3=3b
-1=b

b is -1.

Hope this helps!

A department store buys 200 shirts at a cost of $5,400 and sells them at a selling

jekas [21]

Number of shirts a department store bought = 200

Cost price of 200 shirts = $5400

Cost price of 1 shirt :

$=\tt \frac{5400}{200}$

$\color{plum} =\tt \$27$

Thus, the cost price of one shirt = $27

Price at which the department store sold each shirt = $30

Which means :

▪︎Cost price of shirt = $27

▪︎Selling price of shrit = $30

Since selling price is greater than cost price, there was a markup in the price of the shirts.

We know that :

$\color{hotpink}\tt \: markup \: percentage = \color{plum} \frac{selling \: price - cost \: price}{cost \: price } \times 100$

Markup percentage in the price of the shirts :

$= \tt \frac{30 - 27}{27} \times 100$

$= \tt \frac{3}{27} \times 100$

$= \tt \frac{3 \times 100}{27}$

$= \tt \frac{300}{27}$

$\color{plum} = \tt11.1 \%$

Thus, the percentage of markup = $\tt 11.1 \%$

Therefore, the percentage of markup in the shirt's price = $\color{hotpink} \tt11.1 \%$

The base of a trinagle is increased by 20% and it’s height is increased by 30%. By what percent is the area of the triangle incr

Molodets [167]

Lets say the base is x and the height is y. The new base would be 1.2x and the new height would be 1.3y

Area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2:

1.2x*1.3y/2 = (1.2*1.3 + x*y)/2 = 1.56xy/2 = 0.78xy = 78% of xy

But a normal area would be 50% of xy

78% - 50% = 38%

ANSWER: 38% increase
