Answer 2 is correct
Answer: $0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The owner buys 144 pens for $28.80 i.e. each pen costs

owner sells the pen at $0.4 i.e. price marked up by

So, the claim of the owner is incorrect
The actual increase in the price to get 50% markup

Answer: 128 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
let's start with the perimeter: the perimeter is the total length to the sides/edges of a shape.
since we're dealing with a rectangle, there will be 4 sides
two lengths & two widths
so 48+48+16+16=128 inches
+ y = -1 ⇒ y =
- 1
To graph this line, plot a point at the y-intercept (0, -1), than plot the next point using the rise over run from the slope
by counting up 1 and to the right 3 of the y-intercept. This gives you a second point of (3. 0). Draw a line through those two coordinates.
Answer: Plot (0, -1) and (3, 0) and draw a line through them.

y = 4 +
⇒ y =
+ 4
Same as above. Plot the y-intercept (0, 4) and then use rise over run from the slope to plot (3, 5).
Answer: Plot (0, 4) and (3, 5) and draw a line through them.

You should end up with two PARALLEL lines. Since the lines never intersect, there are no solutions to this system of equations.
Answer: No Solution
