Answer: They should charge $15.25 for the retail price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question, first we have to multiply the price paid per pound ($12.50) by the profit they want make (22%).

Mathematically speaking:

$12.50 x 0.22 = $2.75

(0.22 is the decimal for of 22%. is obtained by dividing the percentage by 100. ⇒ 22/100 = 0.22)

Now, we have the profit. To obtain the retail price we have to sum the profit and the original price:

$12.50 + $2.75 = $15.25

They should charge $15.25 for the retail price.

1. Jeff writes comic strips for a local newspaper. The number of comic strips he creates is represented by the function f(x) = 3
Vaselesa [24]
1 )   f ( x ) = 3 x
He can write { 9, 12, 18, 21, 27 } comic strips.
2 )  f ( x ) = 5 x - 3
- 13 = 5 x - 3
5 x = - 10 
x = -2,  etc.
The domain is: { - 2 , - 1 , 0, 3, 4  }
3 ) f ( x ) = 2 x
It will take { 8, 20, 28, 32, 36 } hours.

3-x=5x+21
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<h3>\boxed{ \sf{ \bold{- 3}}}</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{3 - x = 5x + 21}

Move 5x to left hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{  - x - 5x  + 3 = 21}

Move 3 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{ - x - 5x = 21 - 3}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{ - 6x = 21 - 3}

Subtract 3 from 21

⇒\sf{ - 6x = 18}

Divide both sides of the equation by -6

⇒\sf{ \frac{ - 6x}{ - 6}  =  \frac{18}{-6}}

Calculate

⇒\sf{x  = -3}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: the percent of study group students from outside the state is 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from the town where the young woman's school is located is 7%

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from in-state (but not from the school's town) is 80%.

Since the rest are from outside the state, the percent of study group students from outside the state would be

100 - (80 + 7) = 100 - 87 = 13%
