Answer:
x = 1 or x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
2 x^2 + x - 3 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(x - 1) (2 x + 3) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 1 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x = 1 or 2 x + 3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 1 or 2 x = -3
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: x = 1 or x = -3/2
0.22% shrinkage as a percent of sales.
To calculate shrinkage you subtract the physical inventory value from the book value.
245,000-237,000 = 800
The shrinkage was $800. To find the shrinkage as a percent of sales take the shrinkage value and divide it by the sales value to get shrinkage as a percentage of sales.
800 / 360,000 = 0.0022....
Multiply Decimal by 100 to get the percentage
100 * 0.0022.... = 0.22%
1 and 1/2 is the scale factor
