A.) If Lucy sells 1 necklace, her sales would equal to $15.99. Then her profit would be:
Profit = $15.99 - $3.38(1) - $5.57(1)
Profit = $7.04
The fraction of the sale price of the necklace in profit is denoted as x.
15.99x = 7.04
x = 704/1559
b.) This is the same as part (a) but in decimal form. Just simply divide 704 by 1559. The answer is 0.44
c.) If Lucy's sales is $223.86 and each necklace costs $15.99, then the number of necklaces sold is $223.86 ÷ $15.99/necklace = 14 necklaces
Her profit for the 14 necklaces sold would be:
$223.86 - $3.38(14) - $5.57(14) = $98.56
A. 8 books on each shelf
B. 4 shelves for mystery, 7 shelves for biography
1) find the corresponding y values for when x = 0 and when x = 4,
when x = 0, y = 4
when x = 4, y = 4
the coordinates are (0,4) and (4,4)
2) to calculate the average rate of change, find the slope of the two points:
(0,4) (4,4)
(change in y) 4 - 4 = 0
(change in x) 4 - 0 = 4
0/4 = 0
the average rate of change is 0!
