Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

b=-3 (y intercept)

Use equation y2-y1/x2-x1

-3/5= m

y=-3/5x-3

The Shirts For All shop keeps track of the total number of white and tie-dye t-shirts it sells. In one week, 500 shirts were sol

bagirrra123 [75]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of white shirt=$15

Cost of tie-dye shirt = $20

Total number of shirts= 500

Total number of white shirts= 200

Cost of white shirts = 200×15=$ 3000

Total number of tie-dye shirts = 300

Cost of tie-dye shirts = 300×20= $6000

Verification:

3000+6000=$9000 proved!

Zoe is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She is paid a 1% commission for every computer sale she makes,

ella [17]

Given:

Zoe gets paid a 1% commission for every sale she makes in addition to base pay.

She sold $8,000 worth of computers on a day and made $140 that day.

To find:

A function P(x) representing total pay on a day where she sells x dollars worth of computers.

Solution:

To determine the function P(x) we need to determine how much Zoe's base pay per day is.

One day, she sold $8,000 worth of computers and made $140 that day.

She gets a commission of 1% for $8,000.

1% of $8,000 $= \frac{1}{100} (8,000) = 80.$

So she got paid $140 out of which $80 was a commission.

So her base pay $= 140-80 = 60.$

So Zoe's base pay is $60 a day.

P(x) is the sum of her base pay and 1% of the amount of computer sales she makes ($x).

So $P(x) = 60 + (0.01)x$ , where x is the computer sales she makes in dollars. P(x) is represented in dollars.

In 2010, the population of a city was 161,000. From 2010 to 2015, the population grew by 8%. From 2015 to 2020, it fell by 6.7%.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

99%

Step-by-step explanation:

2010 population = 161,000

From 2010 to 2015, the population grew by 8%.

2010 to 2015 = 161,000 + (8% of 161,000)

= 161,000 + (0.08 * 161,000)

= 161,000 + 12,880

= 173,880

2010 to 2015 = 173,880

From 2015 to 2020, it fell by 6.7%

2015 to 2020 = 173,880 - (6.7% of 173,880)

= 173,880 - (0.067 * 173,880)

= 173,880 - 11,649.96

= 162,230.04

2015 to 2020 = 162,230.04

what percent did the city grow from 2010 to 2020.

= 161,000 / 162,230.04 × 100

= 0.9924179270374 × 100

= 99.241792703743

Approximately, 99% to the nearest whole number

How do I do pre-Algebra???

Lana71 [14]

Hey there!

The main concept of pre-algebra is solving equations for variables in them.

For example, let's say you have the algebraic equation below.

x+1=3

With algebra, you need to figure what x is equal to. To do so, you will use inverse operations on both sides of the equation to isolate x one side, showing what it is equal to.

We would subtract 1 to both sides to isolate x on one side.

x+1-1=3-1

As you can see, +1-1=0, therefore, this would give us x+0, or just x. Now it is isolated and will show us what it is equal to.

x=3-1

x=2

Therefore, in our equation x+1=3, x would be equal to 2.

I hope this explanation helps! Have a great time here at Brainly!
