P(2.25)(.9)=30.78

P(2.025)=30.78

P=$15.20

(X*1.25)*0.9=30.78
1.125X=30.78
X=30.78/1.125
X=27.36
Wholesale price was $27.36

Rachel works at a bookstore. On Tuesday, she sold twice as many books as she did on Monday. On Wednesday, she sold 6 fewer books

natali 33 [55]

Let m = the amount books Rachel sold on Monday.
then t = the amount books Rachel sold on Tuesday.<span>
then w = </span><span>the amount books Rachel sold on Wednesday.

On Tuesday she sold twice as she did on Monday.
t = m * 2

On Wednesday she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday
w = t - 6

Now for the fun.

t = m * 2
w = t - 6

Substitute t for real value

w = m * 2 - 6

Now solve for m.

w - 6 = m * 2 <-- Transpose the 6
(w-6)/2 = m <-- Transpose the 2.
m = (w-2)/2 < The Law of Reflexive Property of Equality</span>

Two sets of equatic expressions are shown below in various forms: Line 1: x2 + 3x + 2 (x + 1)(x + 2) (x + 1.5)2 − 0.25 Line 2: x

kherson [118]

Answer: The correct line is

$\textup{Line 1 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following two sets of quadratic expressions in various forms:

$\textup{Line 1: }x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25,\\\\\textup{Line 2 :}x^2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)=(x+2.5)^2+6.25.$

We are to select one of the lines from above that represent three equivalent expressions.

We can see that there are three different forms of a quadratic expression in each of the lines:

First one is the simplified form, second is the factorised form and third one is the vertex form.

So, to check which line is correct, we need to calculate the factorised form and the vertex form from the simplified form.

We have

$\textup{Line 1: }\\\\x^2+3x+2\\\\=x^2+2x+x+2\\\\=x(x+2)+1(x+2)\\\\=(x+1)(x+2),$

and

$x^2+3x+2\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times 1.5+(1.5)^2-(1.5)^2+2\\\\=(x+1.5)^2-2.25+2\\\\=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.$

So,

$\textup{Line 1 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.$

Thus, Line 1 contains three equivalent expressions.

Now,

$\textup{Line 2: }\\\\x^2+5x+6\\\\=x^2+3x+2x+6\\\\=x(x+3)+2(x+3)\\\\=(x+2)(x+3),$

and

$x^2+5x+6\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times 2.5+(2.5)^2-(2.5)^2+6\\\\=(x+2.5)^2-6.25+6\\\\=(x+2.5)^2-0.25\neq (x+2.5)^2+6.25.$

So,

$\textup{Line 2 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2+6.25.$

Thus, Line 2 does not contain three equivalent expressions.

Hence, Line 1 is correct.

The table below displays the purchases that Graphic DesignWorks made from

AveGali [126]

If Graphic Design Works uses LIFO and has 125 shorts left in its inventory, the value of its current stock is <u>D. $1485</u>.

<h3>What is the LIFO inventory system?</h3>

The Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method is an inventory valuation method that assumes that the last units to arrive in inventory are sold first.

The LIFO method is allowed under US GAAP. It is the opposite of FIFO (First-in, First-Out). The FIFO method assumes that the units bought first are the first to be sold.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Month of Number Price per Total Cost

Purchase of shorts shorts

June 40 $11 440 (40 x $11)

July 60 $12 720 (60 x $12)

August 80 $13 1,040 (80 x $13)

September 90 $14 1,260 (90 x $14)

Ending inventory 125

Using LIFO:

Value of ending inventory = $1,485 ($440 + $720 + $13 x 25)

Thus, if Graphic Design Works uses LIFO and has 125 shorts left in its inventory, the value of its current stock is <u>D. $1485</u>.

Suppose you buy a $50 coffee maker in an area where the sales tax is 8%. When you check out, 8% of $50 would be added to your to

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.

So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.

8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100

400/100 = 4
