To find a percentage divide the first number by the second.
=
=1.00
Now that you have your number, move the decimal point over 2 to the right and add your percentage sign.
100.00%
Your answer is 100%
(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)
The first parentheses contain the cubed root of both the terms so x and y respectively. second parentheses follows the formula (a^2 + ab + b^2)
x corresponds to a and y corresponds to b. The signs are what change depending on what the original equation is. Since the original is a subtraction then the signs are -/+/+. you can remember it using the acronym SOAP. (S = same, O = opposite, AP = always positive) So the first sign is x - y (same as subtraction from original), the second and third are x^2 + xy + y^2 (opposite is a plus, and the last sign is always a positive.
Answer:
2,000
Step-by-step explanation:
it is the opposite of what it really was
Profit = 8%
If the briefcase was marked down 20% from 1500 you multiply 1500 x .2 = 300 in order to calculate the discount.
Calculate the discounted price:
1500 - 300 = 1200
Calculate 10% discount of 1200:
1200 x .1 = 120
Calculate the sales price:
1200 - 120 = 1080
The last step is to calculate the profit/loss is the cost is 1000.
The briefcase sold for 1080 and the company paid 1000 for it, so there was a profit of 80.
The percentage is calculate by dividing 80/1000 = 8% profit
