The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%. Andre wants to buy a bike that has a price tag of $125. What was the wholesale cost of this bike?

Answer:

$96.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the wholesale cost of the bike.

Given:

Price tag of a bike = $125.

The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%.

So we can find the wholesale cost of the bike by the following way.

$\frac{100+30}{100}\times x = 125$

$\frac{130}{100}\times x = 125$

$x=\frac{125\times 100}{130}$

$x=\frac{12500}{130}$

$x=\frac{1250}{13}$

$x=96.15$

Therefore, the wholesale cost of the bike is $96.15.

Sure this question comes with a set of answer choices.

Anyhow, I can help you by determining one equation that can be solved to determine the value of a in the equation.

Since, the two zeros are - 4 and 2, you know that the equation can be factored as the product of (x + 4) and ( x - 2) times a constant. This is, the equation has the form:

y = a(x + 4)(x - 2)

Now, since the point (6,10) belongs to the parabola, you can replace those coordintates to get:

10 = a (6 + 4) (6 - 2)

Therefore, any of these equivalent equations can be solved to determine the value of a:

10 = a 6 + 40) (6 -2)

10 = a (10)(4)

10 = 40a
