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

Write a linear equation in point-slope form to model the situation below:
Lilit [14]

Answer:

y - 14.95 = 18.075(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If an internet company charges $14.95 per month and a setup fee, then we can say

1 month = $14.95

If the total cost for 9 months is $159.55

Then we can write both cases as a coordinate (1, 14.95) and (9,159.55)

The equation of a line in point slope form is expresses as

y-y0 = m(x-x0)

Find the slope m

m = 159.55-14.95/9-1

m = 144.6/8

m = 18.075

Substitute m = 18.075 and any of the coordinate in the equation to have;

Using the coordinate (1, 14.95)

y - 14.95 = 18.075(x-1)

Hence a linear equation in point-slope form that model the situation is y - 14.95 = 18.075(x-1)
