Answer:

The answer is $3.39

Step-by-step explanation:

the question states an increase in price. this means that we need to multiply the current prince ($2.67) by 127%.

drop the percent and put 127 over 100

$\frac{127}{100}$

multiply

$\frac{127}{100} *\frac{2.67}{1}\\\\ \frac{339.09}{100} \\\\3.39$

we are dealing with currency so rounding to the hundredths place will suffice.

hope this helps :)

frutty [35]

Answer:

$m=20n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$A(5,100),B(10,200)$

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$slope=\frac{m2-m1}{n2-n1}$

substitute the values

$slope=\frac{200-100}{10-5}=20$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into slope-point

$m-m1=slope(n-n1)$

with the slope and the point A

$m-100=20(n-5)$

$m=20n-100+100$

$m=20n$

Solve the following equation. 2(x+2)−4x=8 Question 1 options: x=−2 x=3 x=−3 x=1

Tanya [424]

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 2) - 4x = 8

2x + 4 - 4x = 8

2x - 4x = 8 - 4

-2x = 4

x = 4/-2

x = -2

Option → A

Hector has $590 in his account. He earned $15 per hour for x hours. Jeremy has $545 in his account. He earned $20 per hour for x

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

equation = 590 + 15x = 545 + 20x

No. of hours worked = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both worked for same number of hours

and

Jeremy worked for for x hours

it meant that Hector also worked for x hours(it is also mentioned same in the problem)

now that we know the number of hours worked in form of x

lets find

total money in their account if they worked for x hours

___________________________________________

For Hector

Money in Hector's account = $590

Earning for Hector in 1 hour = $15

Earning for Hector in x hour = x*Earning for Hector in 1 hour = $15x

Total money in with Hector after x hours of work

= Money in Hector's account + Earning for Hector in x hour = $590 + $15x

Similarly

For Jeremy

Money in Jeremys account = $545

Earning for Jeremy in 1 hour = $20

Earning for Jeremy in x hour = x*Earning for Jeremy in 1 hour = $20x

Total money in with Jeremy after x hours of work

= Money in Jeremy's account + Earning for Jeremy in x hour = $545 + $20x

Given that they same amount of money

thus

$590 + $15x = $545 + $20x

$sign gets cancelled from both sides

590 + 15x = 545 + 20x Thus, we got the required equation

=> 590 - 545 = 20x - 15x

=> 45 = 5x

=> x = 45/5 = 9

Thus, both of them worked for 9 hours
