Answer:

Equation representing the retail price y of apple pies in terms of the original cost x  is      y = 1.78 x

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost of apple pie = x

The mark up percentage = 78%

The retail price of the apple pie = y

Now, the mark up is always applied on the original price.

⇒78%  of x  = \frac{78}{100} \times x = 0.78x

So, the marked up amount of pie = 0.78 x

Also, the Total Retail price = Original Price + Marked up Price

                                             = x+ 0.78 x = (1+ 0.78)x  =  1.78 x

or, y = 1.78 x

Hence,equation representing the retail price y of apple pies in terms of the original cost x  is y = 1.78 x

Answer:

x=y/1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know the original value then you would multiply by 1.78 to calculate the price after markup. Thus if you know the price after markup you divide by 1.78 to find the original value.

y=markup price

x=original price

y=1.78x

Divide both sides by 1.78

y/1.78=x

x=y/1.78

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken for trip : t + 1

Time taken for return : t

Avg. speed (trip) : 256 km/h

Avg. speed (return) : 320 km/h

The distances covered on both trips are equal.

⇒ Distance (trip) = Distance (return)

⇒ Speed (trip) × time (trip) = Speed (return) × time (return)

⇒ (256)(t + 1) = (320)(t)

⇒ 256t + 256 = 320t

⇒ 64t = 256

⇒ t = 4 hours

<u>Time (trip)</u> = t + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 hours

the line y=2x-4 is dilated bt a scale factor of 3/2 and centered at the origin. Write an equation that represent that image of t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:  y = 2x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If (x,y) represents the coordinates of a line, then after dilation about the origin by the scale factor k, the coordinates of the resultant line will get by the rule,

(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)

Here, The equation of the given line is,

y = 2x - 4

x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (2,0) and (0,-4) respectively,

Hence, the line y = 2x - 4 will be passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-4),

By the above property,

The dilated line about the origin will be passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-6),   ( Because (3/2× 2, 3/2×0) = (3,0) and (3/2×0, 3/2×-4) = (0,-6) )

Hence, the equation of transformed line after dilation,

y-0 = \frac{-6-0}{0-3}(x-3)    

y-0=2(x-3)

y-0=2x-6

y=2x-6
