1. The problem indicates that 300 pounds of oranges were purchased at $0.24 per pound, so the cost is:
 
 300x$0.24=$72
 
 2. A percent of 21% spoilage is expected, which means that 89% of 300 pounds of oranges left, is:
 
 300x0.89=267 pounds of oranges
 
 3. We want to calculate the selling price per pound of 267 pounds of oranges, so let's call this value "x":
 
 Markup %=(Markup/cost)x100
 
 Markup=267x-72
  
 4. The desired markup, based on selling price, is 50%. So, when we substitute the values, we obtain:
 
 (267x-72/72)x100=50
 
 5. Let's clear the "x":
 
 (26700x-7200/72)=50
 26700x-7200=50x72
 26700x-7200=3600
 26700x=3600+7200
 x=10800/26700
 x=$0.40
 x=40 cents
 
 What should the selling price per pound be?
 
 The answer is: 40 cents or $0.40

What is the domain of g?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Solution. The domain of g(x) consists of all real numbers except x = 32, since that input value would cause us to divide by 0. Likewise, the domain of f consists of all real numbers except 1. So we need to exclude from the domain of g(x) that value of x for which g(x) = 1.

On July 3rd, a family left for vacation. They drove 431.2 miles on the first day, then they drove an average of 826.4 miles each
Alexxx [7]
431.2+826.4d=2910.4
431.2 is only the first day therefore it doesn't need the variable because the variable represents the number of days. 826.4 even says "each remaining day" referring to what the variable represents.

The tortoise and the hare are in a road race to defend the honor of their breed. the tortoise crawls the entire 1000. m distance
jolli1 [7]
<span>The tortoise crawls the whole 1000 m at 0.2 m/s, therefore, you must divide the distance by the rate of travel to find the time it took to complete the race. This gives us a time of 5,000 seconds to crawl the thousand meters. The hare runs the first 200 meters at 2 m/s, meaning that takes 100 seconds. The last 800 meters divided by the speed of 3 m/s gives us a time of 266 seconds. These two numbers must be added to the hare's rest time, converted from 1.3 hours into seconds by multiplying that number by 60 (for minutes in an hour) then 60 again (for seconds in a minute). 1.3 hours is equal to 4680 seconds. Therefore, the whole race took the hare 5,046 seconds, making it slightly slower than the hare, who finished in 5,000 seconds flat.</span>
