Simple....

to find the answer to this use these two formulas...

Markdown= New-Old

Markdown%=\frac{Markdown}{New} *100

In this problem:

440-154=286

Markdown%=\frac{286}{440} *100

Markdown%=0.65*100

Markdown%=65%

Thus, your answer.

A TV has a listed price of $579.95 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 7.75%, find the total cost of the TV with sales tax incl
kkurt [141]

To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.

Find the solution of the given initial value problem:<br><br> y''- y = 0, y(0) = 2, y'(0) = -1/2
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:  The required solution of the given IVP is

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the solution of the following initial value problem :

y^{\prime\prime}-y=0,~~~y(0)=2,~~y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}.

Let y=e^{mx} be an auxiliary solution of the given differential equation.

Then, we have

y^\prime=me^{mx},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mx}.

Substituting these values in the given differential equation, we have

m^2e^{mx}-e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2-1)e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2-1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mx}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2=1\\\\\Rightarrow m=\pm1.

So, the general solution of the given equation is

y(x)=Ae^x+Be^{-x}, where A and B are constants.

This gives, after differentiating with respect to x that

y^\prime(x)=Ae^x-Be^{-x}.

The given conditions implies that

y(0)=2\\\\\Rightarrow A+B=2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A-B=-\dfrac{1}{2}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

2A=2-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2A=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3}{4}.

From equation (i), we get

\dfrac{3}{4}+B=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=2-\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{5}{4}.

Substituting the values of A and B in the general solution, we get

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

Thus, the required solution of the given IVP is

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

In one day, a book store earned $199 in sales for 4 copies of a new cookbook and 5 copies of a new science fiction novel. On the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The cookbook costs $36 per copy while the science fiction costs $11 per copy

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the price of the cookbook and the price of the science fiction novel.

Since we do not know the price of each, we start by assigning variables to stand in for these unknown prices.

Let the price of the cookbook be $x , while the price of the science fiction be $y

Now, on the first day, 4 copies of the cookbook and 5 copies of the fiction;

mathematically that would be 4 * x and 5 * y

We add both and sum to be $199

Thus we have;

4x + 5y = 199 ••••••••••(i)

On the second day;

3 copies of cookbook 3 * x = 3x with 4 copies of science fiction 4 * y

Adding both yielded 152;

Thus, we have ;

3x + 4y = 152••••••••••(ii)

So we need to solve both equations simultaneously to get the values of x and y

4x + 5y = 199

3x + 4y = 152

Multiply equation i by 3 and equation ii by 4

3 * 4x + 5y = 199

4 * 3x + 4y = 152

12x + 15y = 597

12x + 16y = 608

Now, subtract multiplied equation ii from multiplied equation i

(12x-12x) + (15y-16y) = (597-608)

-y = -11

y = 11

To get x, simply substitute in any of the equations;

let’s use equation 1

4x + 5y = 199

4x + 5(11) = 199

4x + 55 = 199

4x = 199-55

4x = 144

x = 144/4

x = 36
