A shop sells newspapers for a profit of 0.5%. His sales for the month of January were $8341.50. How much of this is profit?

1 answer:

8 0

Amount of sales of newspapers for the month of January = $8341.50
Percentage of profit for which the newspaper is sold = 0.5%
Then
Amount of profit made in the month of January = 0.5% * 8341.50 dollars
   = (0.5/100) * 8341.50 dollars
   = 4170.75/100 dollars
   = 41.707 dollars
   = 41.71 dollars
So the shop makes a profit of $41.71 in the month of January by selling newspapers worth $8341.50. I hope the procedure is perfectly clear for you to understand.

Find the distance between the points. (Round your answer to two decimal places. (9.7, - 2.8), (- 3.2, 8.8)

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Rounding it to two decimal places, we get distance, $d=17.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points are $(9.7, -2.8)\textrm{ and }(-3.2, 8.8)$

The distance between the two points can be obtained using the distance formula which is given as:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Here, for the points, $(9.7, -2.8)\textrm{ and }(-3.2, 8.8)$

$x_{1}=9.7,x_{2}=-3.2,y_{1}=-2.8,y_{2}=8.8$

Therefore, the distance between the points is:

$d=\sqrt{(-3.2-9.7)^2+(8.8-(-2.8))^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-12.9)^2+(8.8+2.8)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(12.9)^2+(11.6)^2}\\d=\sqrt{166.41+134.56}\\d=\sqrt{300.97}=17.348$

Rounding it to two decimal places, we get $d=17.35$

A student says that the x-intercept of the graph of × + 2y =5 is the point (0,5). Is the student correct or incorrect? Explain y

ivanzaharov [21]

The student is incorrect, the actual x-intercept is (5, 0).

<h3>Is the student correct or incorrect?</h3>

Here we have the equation:

x + 2y = 5

The student says that the x-intercept is the point (0, 5).

So if you look at the point you already can see that the student is incorrect, this is because the x-intercept always must have a y-value of 0. (the graph only intercepts the x-axis when y = 0).

So the point (0, 5) can't be an x-intercept.

For the given function:

x +2y = 5

The x-intercept is given by:

x + 2*0 = 5

x = 5

So it is (5 , 0).
