A shoe store charges a retail price of $39 for a certain type of sneaker. This retail price is 30% more than the amount it costs

the shoe store to buy one pair of these sneakers. At an end-of-the-year sale, sales associates can purchase any remaining sneakers at 20% off the shoe store’s cost. How much would it cost an employee to purchase a pair of sneakers of this type during the sale (excluding sales tax)?
A.$31.20
B.$25.00
C.$24.00
D.$21.84
E.$19.50
Could someone please explain how to do this problem?

I was a little confused myself but if it is asking for the cost of the sneakers after the 20% off from the amount of money the store had to pay, it would be D, $21.84. The way to do this would be to find the cost of the sneakers when the store bought them. You multiply the percentage in decimal form with the cost of the sneakers at the price the store was selling it: 0.3*39 = 11.7. Then, to get the price the store bought them at, you would subtract that price from $39 to get $27.30. Finally, you apply the 20% discount to 27.30 by multiplying 0.2 to it and subtracting that price from 27.30. Then your answer will be $21.84. However, if the problem was asking for the cost of sneakers after the 20% off from the price the store was selling it, it would be A, $31.20. You would have to multiply the 20% discount straight to the price the store is selling the sneakers, $39. Then subtract that price from $39 to get $31.20.

Flying to Kampala with a tailwind a plane averaged 158km per hr ... The the return trip the plane only averaged 112 km per . . w
AURORKA [14]
W=wind
p + w=158...p=158-w
p-w=112...p=112+w
SO 158-w=112+w
46=2w
23=w
SO in conclusion you have the correct answer of wind being 23km/h while the plane is going 135 km/h

Explain how you could use either of two operation to solve exercise 10.

You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.

1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.

2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.

3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.

4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

Find the work done by F= (x^2+y)i + (y^2+x)j +(ze^z)k over the following path from (4,0,0) to (4,0,4)
babunello [35]

\vec F(x,y,z)=(x^2+y)\,\vec\imath+(y^2+x)\,\vec\jmath+ze^z\,\vec k

We want to find f(x,y,z) such that \nabla f=\vec F. This means

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=x^2+y

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=y^2+x

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=ze^z

Integrating both sides of the latter equation with respect to z tells us

f(x,y,z)=e^z(z-1)+g(x,y)

and differentiating with respect to x gives

x^2+y=\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial x}

Integrating both sides with respect to x gives

g(x,y)=\dfrac{x^3}3+xy+h(y)

Then

f(x,y,z)=e^z(z-1)+\dfrac{x^3}3+xy+h(y)

and differentiating both sides with respect to y gives

y^2+x=x+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dy}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dy}=y^2\implies h(y)=\dfrac{y^3}3+C

So the scalar potential function is

\boxed{f(x,y,z)=e^z(z-1)+\dfrac{x^3}3+xy+\dfrac{y^3}3+C}

By the fundamental theorem of calculus, the work done by \vec F along any path depends only on the endpoints of that path. In particular, the work done over the line segment (call it L) in part (a) is

\displaystyle\int_L\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=f(4,0,4)-f(4,0,0)=\boxed{1+3e^4}

and \vec F does the same amount of work over both of the other paths.

In part (b), I don't know what is meant by "df/dt for F"...

In part (c), you're asked to find the work over the 2 parts (call them L_1 and L_2) of the given path. Using the fundamental theorem makes this trivial:

\displaystyle\int_{L_1}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=f(0,0,0)-f(4,0,0)=-\frac{64}3

\displaystyle\int_{L_2}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=f(4,0,4)-f(0,0,0)=\frac{67}3+3e^4

Select the point that is a solution to the system of inequalities​
ExtremeBDS [4]
<h3>Answer: B.  (-1, 0)</h3>

This point is below both the red diagonal line and the blue parabola. We know that the set of solution points is below both due to the "less than" parts of each inequality sign.  

In contrast, a point like (2,2) is above the parabola which is why it is not a solution. It does not make the inequality y \le x^2-3x true. So this is why we can rule choice A out.

Choice C is not a solution because (4,1) does not make y \le -x+3 true. This point is not below the red diagonal line. We can cross choice C off the list.

Choice D is similar to choice A, which is why we can rule it out as well.
