Daily profit, y, as a function of T-shirts sold, x, is
y = -10x² + 160x - 430

In order to generate $50 in daily profits, the number of T-shirts sold is determined by solving the equation
-10x² + 160x - 430 = 50

Divide through by -10.
x² - 16x + 43 = -5
x² - 16x + 48 = 0

Answer:
This quadratic equation can be solved by factorization.

Explanation:
Note that
48 = 4 x 12, and
4 + 12 = 16
Therefore
x² - 16x + 48 = (x - 4 )(x - 12 ) = 0
The solutions are
x - 4 = 0  => x = 4, and
x - 12 = 0  => x = 12

Replace y in the equation with 50: (50 = -10x2 +160x - 430) Use factoring to solve the equation. After writing the equation in standard form and dividing each side by -10, it is easy to factor as 0 = (x - 4)(x - 12).

The cost of a stove to a store owner was $500, and she sold the stove for $1080. What was her percent of profit based on cost?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

116%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price (C. P.) = $500

Selling Price (S. P.) = $1080

Profit = SP - CP = $1080 - $500 = $580

Profit percent

=  \frac{Profit}{CP}  \times 100 \\  \\  =  \frac{580}{500}  \times 100 \\  \\  =  \frac{580}{5}  \\  \\  = 116 \%
