Ben has mixed up the digit for millions and hundred thousands: he wrote 5
in the place for millions and 6 in the place for hundred thousands, but
it should be the other way. I think that he should exchange those two digits in the faulty report.
Answer:
x=28
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.
x 42
---------- = ----------
x+10 42+15
Simplify
x 42
---------- = ----------
x+10 57
Using cross products
57x = 42 (x+10)
Distribute
57x = 42x+420
Subtract 42x from each side
57x-42x = 42x-42x +420
15x = 420
Divide each side by 15
15x/15 = 420/15
x=28
Answer: 35 t shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of t shirts be x
Let profit made be y
On main street, the store costs $650,
Selling the t shirt at $32 per 1
He would make a revenue of 32x
Profit = revenue - cost accrued
y1 = 32x - 650
On Broad street, the store costs $440,
Selling the t shirt at $26 per 1
He would make a revenue of 26x
Profit = revenue - cost accrued
y2 = 26x - 440
To make same profit on either location
y1 = y2
32x - 650 =26x - 440
32x -26x = -440+650
6x = 210
x = 210/6
= 35 t shirts
The point-slope form of the equation of a line is

where
is a point on the line, and

is the slope of the line.
We can use either one of the two given points as the point on the line.
We also need to find the slope. We can use the coordinates of the two given points to find the slope of the line.
The slope of the line that passes through points

and

is

Let's find the slope using (-3, 5) as point 1 and (-1, 4) as point 2.

Now we use the point-slope formula with point 1 and the slope we found just above.
