Since Doug’s brother has double the amount of Doug we can just multiply the amount Doug has by 2.
$3,215*2 = $6,430
You would need to know the cost of the box of 20, then you would divide the total cost by the number of pencils in the box. This would give you the cost of one pencil - which is the unit cost.
Example:
Lets say the box of 20 pencils cost $10.
Divide the total cost by the number of pencils:
10 / 20 = 0.50 - This means each pencil cost 50 cents, so the unit cost would be 50 cents per pencil.
$35.00 x .20 = $7
So the discount would be $7 off of $35, for a final sale price of $28
In a quadratic equation with the general formula of:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
The discriminant is equal to b^2 - 4(a)(c). If the answer is a perfect square, then there are two real numbers. If not, then there are no real number root.
The discriminant for this equation is
(-6)^2 - 4(3)(1) = 24
Since 24 is not a perfect square, there are no real number roots.
