Answer:

112 $ is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

$x \times 0.75 = 84 \\ x = 84 \div 0.75 \\ x = 112$

you have to think that the original price multiplied by 0.75 (also known as 75%) gave the result of what he saves i.e 84 $. So we put up an equation with the original price multiplied by 75% which equals the 84 $ he saved on buying that item on sale

The cost C in dollars of manufacturing x bicycles at a production plant is given by the function shown below.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Minimum 100 bicycles
Minimum cost is 13500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

C(x) = 3x^2- 600x + 43500

Minimum cost is obtained at vertex.

Vertex is determined by formula x = -b/2a, in standard form of

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

Vertex of the given function is:

x = -(-600)/(2*3) = 100

Cost at vertex is:

C(100) = 3*100^2 - 600*100 + 43500 = 13500

Find the balance in the account. $2,500 principal earning 4%, compounded quarterly, after 4 years

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$2500\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{quarterly, thus four} \end{array}\dotfill &4\\ t=years\dotfill &4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=2500\left(1+\frac{0.04}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 4}\implies A=2500(1.01)^{16}\implies A\approx 2931.4466123$
