Answer:

$35.20

Step-by-step explanation:

For a profit of 24% on $34.10, this means that;

34.10 is 24% greater than the cost price

since; Profit = Selling price - cost price

To find the cost price (x):

Let the cost price be a 100% and the selling price of $34.10 be 124%

Now lets find the cost price

if 34.10 = 124%

then, x = 100%

x / 34.10 = 100% / 124 %

This gives;

124x = 34.10 (100)

124x = 3410

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 124

x = $27.50

Now lets find the selling price for a profit of 28%

28% of 27.5 = 7.70

from; Profit = Selling price - cost price

7.70 = Selling price - 27.50

Subtracting 7.7 from both sides we have;

Selling price = 27.50 + 7.70

Selling price = $35.20

Therefore, the selling prices for a profit of 28% is $35.20

Answer:

36.58 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

If 24% is $38.10, take 4% of of $38.10 to get 36.576. Then round to the nearest hundredth

What is y = mx b for x?

makkiz [27]

Y=mx+b
minus b tboth sides
y-b=mx
divide both sides by m

Let x and y be any numbers at all with x ≤ y. Show that the number of integers between x and y is [y] - [x] +1.That is show that

ddd [48]

Answer:

the explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here what is applied is assumption of range of values of number from say 1 - 100

In total, i stopped at 100 on the dot.

from this, the lowest number is 1 and the highest number is 100

hence the range of the numbers = Difference between Highest and Lowest

range = 100 - 1 = 99, the 99 gotten as the range is indicative that a number has been missing.

In order to make up the 100, an integer is added to the difference = 99, i.e 99 is added to 1 to make up the 100.

Furthermore, if 0 is exclusively out when numbers are counted up 100 with 0 inclusive, in such case, the first and last number are excluded from the counting. as such the integers will be {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20.........., 99} since both 0 and 100 are not included.

Here, if we try to get the range = highest - lowest = 99 - 1 = 98, it implies that to make up the 99, an integer is added to the result of the difference = 98+1 = 99

As such, the number of integers between two numbers is the difference between the highest and the lowest number plus 1 i.e highest - lowest + 1 = y - x +1 = (the floor of y) - ( the ceiling of x) + 1
