The company paid $2000 for the printer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the printer for which the company bought it.

If x is the price of printer, then 25% of x will be the profit made by the company.

That is:

0.25x

According to the statement,

The cost and profit earned by company are equal to 2500

So,

x+0.25x = 2500\\1.25x = 2500

Dividing both sides by 1.25

\frac{1.25x}{1.25} = \frac{2500}{1.25}\\x = 2000

Hence,

The company paid $2000 for the printer

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line having the given slope and y-intercept.
pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   y = 4/6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

m = 4/6

P (0, -4)

slope-intercept form = ?      y = mx + b    where m is the slope and

                                                                  b is the y-intercept

Formula

           y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

           y - (-4) = 4/6(x - 0)

Simplification

           y + 4 = 4/6x

Result

                 y = 4/6x - 4

slope = 4/6  y-intercept = -4

Bill wanted to try out different water craft he went 62 mikes downstream in a motor boat and 27 mikes down stream on a jest ski
valina [46]

Answer:

The speed on motorboat is 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

here, we want to find the speed on the motorboat

if he has a speed of x mph on the motor boat, his speed on the ski will be (x + 10) mph

The total hours is 4 hours

Mathematically; speed = distance/time

Time on ski is 27/x+ 10

Time on motor boat is 62/x

The addition of both is 4

Thus;

27/(x + 10) + 62/x = 4

27(x) + 62(x + 10) = 4(x)(x + 10)

27x + 62x + 620 = 4(x^2 + 10x)

89x + 620 = 4x^2 + 40x

4x^2 -49x-620 = 0

using the quadratic formula;

{-b ± √(b^2-4ac)}/2a

where a = 4, b = -49 and c = -620

= 49 ± √(-49)^2-4(4)(-620)/8

So we have

49+ 111/8 or 49-111/8

Speed cannot be negative

(49 + 111)/8

= 20 mph

If a town starts with population of 63,500 that declines by 700 people each year, construct an equation to model its population
ankoles [38]

The equation would be 63500-700x=P, where 63500 is the original population, -700 is the amount the population decreases each year, x is the number of years, and P is the total population.


To answer the second part of the question, plug in 53000 for P and solve for x:

63500-700x=53000

<em>*Subtract 63500 from both sides*</em>

-700x=-10500

<em>*Divide both sides by -700*</em>

x=15


It would take 15 years for the population to drop to 53000.


Hope this helps!!
