Answer: $372

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original retail price be 'x'

Therefore, using the give information, we can form the following equation:

50/100x = 186

Now, solve for x

50/100x = 186

1/2x = 186

x = 186 * 2

x = 372

The original retail price is $372.

Check:

50/100(372) = 186

1/2(372) = 186

186 = 186

Suppose that each semester at a particular community college Manuel has to pay $1478 in tuition and $121 in fees.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be time, in semesters, remaining before Manuel graduates. We find that Manuel's expenses are:

$1478/semester in tuition, and

$121/semester in fees

1. x semesters remaining: fees

Remaining cost for fees, y, is the product of the fee times the number of semesters, x:

y =($121/semester)*x

y = ($121)*x

2. x semesters remaining: tuition

Remaining cost, y, is the product of the tuition (times the number of semesters, x.

y = ($1478/semester)*x + ($121/semester)*x

y = ($1599)*x

3. x semesters remaining: tuition and fees

Remaining cost, y, is the sum of the products of the tuition (times the number of semesters, and the fees (tix.

y = ($1478/semester)*x + ($121/semester)*x

y = ($1599)*x

A football stadium is capable of seating a maximum of m fans. For each game, the

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The revenue depends on the number of people n that purchases tickets, knowing that each ticket costs $30.00, the total revenue will be:

f(n) = $30.00*n

Now, we also know that the stadium is capable of seating a maximum of m fans, so the maximum possible value for n is m.

Now, for the function f(n), we have that:

The domain is the set of the possible values of n

The range is the set of the possible values of f(n).

We want to find the domain.

First, the minimum possible value of n is 0, the case where nobody purchases a ticket.

The maximum possible value of n is m, this is the case where the stadium is full.

Then the domain will be:

D= {n,m ∈ Z, 0 ≤ n ≤ m}

Where we imposed that n must be an integer number because n represents a whole quantity.

(Use Solving Systems by Graphing to find a solution for this question)

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

One cellphone provider charges AED10 per month plus an activation fee of AED20.

If I used the services of this cellphone provider for x months, total charges for the services,

y = 10x + 20 --------(1)

Similarly, charges for the second cellphone provider for x months of uses will be,

y = 11x + 15 -------(2)

Input-output table for equation (1)

x 1 2 3 4 5

y 30 40 50 60 70

Input output table for equation (2)

x 1 2 3 4 5

y 26 37 48 59 70

From these tables, we find (5, 70) is a common point for both.

It reveals that after the uses of 5 months charges for both the cellphone providers will be same (y = $70)

Can you guys help..please

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

IV does not represent y as the function of x since the ordinates share the same abscissa. As we can see in the graph {(4,-1),(4,4),(-4,-1),(-4,4)}
