TLDR: the profit is 35 dollars, and the game was 50 dollars direct from the gaming company.

Assuming that the 85.00 is the cost of the game after the addition of store charges, we can find out the amount of money that the game cost before the inflation by the store.

Let the cost of the game from the manufacturer be ‘x,’ and let the cost of the game in the store equal ‘y.’ In this case, y=85, and also y= 1.7x, where the 1.7 represents the inflation of the game’s cost.

Therefore,

85 = 1.7x
X=50.

The game cost 50 dollars from the manufacturer, and the store gains profit to the amount of 85-50, or 35 dollars of profit.

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 174 ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 45 ft longer than th
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

21 ft by 66 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

P = 2(L+W)............... Equation 1

Where P = Perimeter of the playing Field, L = Length of the playing Field, W = width of the playing Field.

If the Length of the Field is 45 ft longer than the width,

L = 45+W............ Equation 2

Substitute Equation 2 into equation 1

P = 2(45+W+W)

P = 90+4W............. Equation 3

Given: P = 174 ft.

Substitute into equation 3

174 = 90+4W

4W = 174-90

4W = 84

W = 84/4

W = 21 ft.

Substituting the value of W into equation 2

L = 45+21

L = 66 ft.

Hence the dimensions of the playing field is 21 ft by 66 ft

The first step in the process for factoring the trinomial x2-3x - 40
Alexxx [7]
We need two numbers that when multiplied will give you -40 and when added will give you -3:
(x+5) (x-8) this is your answer. And you want to know the process Here it goes. And attached is a chart I made you so you can visually see what this process is telling you:
1) identify a,b, and c in the trinomial ax^2 + bx+c (in your case it's 1x^2-3x-40= x^2-3x-40)
2) write down all factor pairs of c (numbers that multiplied produce -40)
3) identify which factor pair from the previous step sums up to b
4) Substitute factor pairs into two binomials
