Answer:

38 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial efficiency = 39 mpg

Initial speed = 40 mph

Final speed = 50 mph

The efficiency drop  between 40 mph and 50 mph is given by:

E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*\Delta V

The total efficiency drop from 40 to 50 mph is:

E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*(50-40)mph\\E_d = 1\ mpg

Therefore, the efficiency at 50 mph is:

E_{50} = E_{40} -E_d\\E_{50} = 39 -1\\E_{50} = 38\ mpg

The men s clothing buyer had a group of 50 jackets priced at $250 each that was selling very slowly. To stimulate sales of these
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The answer is $3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The men's clothing buyer had a group of 50 jackets priced at $250 each.

Total price of jackets = 50\times250=12500 dollars

The buyer reduced the price of the jackets in that group to $200 and 40 jackets were sold.

So, the price for selling 40 jackets is = 40\times200=8000 dollars

Remaining jackets =50-40=10

These were sold at $150 each, totaling to = 10\times150=1500 dollars

So, overall money earned by reducing prices both time = 8000+1500=9500 dollars

And the markdown in dollars = (original price before reducing) minus (educed total price)

= 12500-9500=3000 dollars

So, the answer is $3000.
