The jeweler buys gold for 1235.55 per ounce and resells it for 1376.44 per ounce how much profit does the jeweler make from buyi
AnnZ [28]

Profit made by jeweler from buying and reselling ounces of gold is 140.89 per ounce

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that

Price at which jeweler buy gold = 1235.55 per ounce

Price at which jeweler resells gold = 1376.44 per ounce

We need to calculate profit.

Buying price of 1 ounce of gold = 1235.55

Reselling price of 1 ounce of gold = 1376.44  

<em>Profit = Reselling price – buying price</em>

So profit on 1 ounce of gold = 1376.44 – 1235.55 = 140.89  

Hence profit made by Buying and Selling gold will be 140.89 per ounce

You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 5% of the sales. The second company
sweet [91]

Answer:$5408

Step-by-step explanation:

The first company offers a straight commission of 5% of the sales. This means the salary or income is 5% of sales made.

The second company offers a salary of $260 per week plus 4% of the sales. This means salary or income

= $260 +4% of 260

= 260 + (4/100)×260

= 260 +(0.04×260)

=260+10.4 = $270.4

Let x = the amount of sales you would have to sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good

5% of x should be greater than or equal to $270.4

0.05x = 270.4

x = 270.4/0.05 =$5408

The sales should be greater than or equal to $5408

AE = AC = 4

m<CAB = 60 (equilateral triangle)
m<CAE = 90 (square)

m<BAE = 150 (= 60 + 90)

Triangle BAE is isosceles since AB = AE;
therefore, m<AEB = m<ABE.

m<AEB + m<ABE + m<BAE = 180

m<AEB + m< ABE + 150 = 180

m<AEB + m<AEB = 30

m<AEB = 15

In triangle ABE, we know AE = AB = 4;
we also know m<BAE = 150, and m<AEB = 15.

We can use the law of sines to find BE.

BE/(sin 150) = 4/(sin 15)

BE = (4 sin 150)/(sin 15)

BE = 7.727
