Part A:

Given that <span>the mattress is sold for 50% off of the retail price, let the retail price of the mattress be x, then

50% of x = 1200
⇒ 0.5x = 1200
⇒ x = 1200 / 0.5 = 2400

Therefore, </span><span>the retail price of the mattress, before the discount is $2,400.



Part B:

Given that </span><span>the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale price. Let the whole sale price be p, then

(100% + 150%) of p = 2400
250% of p = 2400
2.5p = 2400
p = 2400 / 2.5 = 960.

Therefore, </span><span>the wholesale price, before the markup was $960</span>

Company A offers a weekly salary of $360 plus a commission of 18% on thier dollar sales volume. Company B offers a weekly salary
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: The dollar sales volume will be $4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of sales volume for which the two offers result in the same pay.

Company A offers a weekly salary of $360 plus a commission of 18% on their dollar sales volume. This means that the total value offered by company A for x sales volume is

360 + 0.18x

Company B offers a weekly salary of $720 plus commission of 9% on their dollar sales volume. This means that the total value offered by company B for x sales volume is

720 + 0.09x

For the two offers to be the same, the sales volume would be

360 + 0.18x = 720 + 0.09x

0.18x - 0.09x = 720 - 360

0.09x = 360

x = 360/0.09

x = $4000

Question 4
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for chart

Required

Number of off days

To do this, we simply calculate the expected value of the chart.

This is calculated as:

E(x) = \sum x * f

Where

x = days

f = chances

So, we have:

E(x) = 0* 0.3 + 1 *0.2 + 2 * 0.25 + 3  * 0.2 + 4  * 0.02 + 5 * 0.01 + 6 * 0.01 + 7 * 0.01

E(x) = 1.56

E(x) \approx 2
