A furniture store pays a wholesale price for a mattress. Then, the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale pric

e. Later, they put the mattress on sale for 50% off of the retail price. A customer just bought the mattress on sale and paid $1,200.

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>

When the volume of a gas is
Fudgin [204]

Answer: The initial volume is 593.76mL

Step-by-step explanation:

As you do not say anithing about the pressure, i guess that the pressure remains constant.

If the gas is an ideal gas, we have:

P*V = n*R*T

where P is pressure, n is number of moles and R is a constant.

Now, initially we have:

P*Vi = n*R*315°C

finally we have:

P*825mL = n*R*452°C

Now we can take the quiotient of those two equations and get:

(P*Vi)/(P*852mL) = (n*R*315°C)/( n*R*452°C)

Now we have:

Vi/852mL = 315/452

Vi =  (315/452)*852mL = 593.76mL

So when we expand the gas at constant pressure, we increase the temperature.

How did they get that vertex
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:A vertex (or node) of a graph is one of the objects that are connected together. The connections between the vertices are called edges or links. A graph with 10 vertices (or nodes) and 11 edges (links).

Step-by-step explanation: (The vertex formula is derived from the completing-the-square process, just as is the Quadratic Formula. In each case, memorization is probably simpler than completing the square.) For a given quadratic y = ax2 + bx + c, the vertex (h, k) is found by computing h = –b/2a, and then evaluating y at h to find k.
