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

Four students are trying to determine what number must replace the question (x^2)^7=x^4*x^8 in order to make it true

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Joe is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$(x^2)^?=x^4 \cdot x^8$

The exponent outside the bracket is a question mark and the students are trying to determine the value of the question mark.

For ease of answering, let y be the unknown number (question mark):

$\implies (x^2)^y=x^4 \cdot x^8$

First, simplify the equation by applying exponent rules to either side of the equation:

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a^b)^c=a^{bc}\quad\textsf{to the left side}:$

$\implies (x^2)^y=x^4 \cdot x^8$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^4 \cdot x^8$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad a^b \cdot a^c=a^{b+c} \quad \textsf{to the right side}:$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^4 \cdot x^8$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^{4+8}$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^{12}$

Now, apply the exponent rule:

$x^{f(x)}=x^{g(x)} \implies f(x)=g(x)$

Therefore,

$x^{2y}=x^{12}\implies 2y=12$

Finally, solve for y:

$\implies 2y=12$

$\implies 2y \div 2 = 12 \div 2$

$\implies y=6$

Therefore, Joe is correct as the unknown number is 6.

A grocer had 40 crates of tomatoes. Each crate contained 124 tomatoes. She threw away 24 rotten tomatoes and repack the rest int

salantis [7]

40 * 124 = 4,960

4,960 - 24 = 4,936

4,936 / 8 = 617

There are 617 bags of tomatoes.
