If a desk is $186with a discount of 50% what is the original retail price for the desk

Mathematics

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

use the graphing calculator to graph the quadratic function y = x2 − 5x − 36. Which value is a solution of 0 = x2 − 5x − 36?
daser333 [38]

The solutions of the quadratic equation x² - 5x - 36 = 0 are -4 and 9.

The graph is attached below.

  • We are given a quadratic function.
  • A polynomial equation of degree two in one variable is a quadratic equation.
  • The function given to us is :
  • y = x² - 5x - 36
  • We need to find the solution of the quadratic function.
  • To find the roots, let y = 0.
  • x² - 5x - 36 = 0
  • Use the quadratic formula.
  • In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a formula that gives the solution(s) to a quadratic equation.
  • x = [-b±√b²-4ac]/2a
  • x = [-(-5) ± √25 - 4(1)(-36)]/2(1)
  • x = (5 ± √25 + 144)/2
  • x = (5 ± √169)/2
  • x = (5 ± 13)/2
  • x = 9 or x = -4

What is the solution of the inequality -6x-17≥8x+25
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
-6x -17> 8x + 25.
Get x on one side; Subtract 8x from both sides.
-14x -17 > 25.
Add 17 to both sides to get x by itself.
-14x>42.
Divide both sides by -14 (remember to flip the inequality when dividing by negatives).
x <_ 3 is your solution (line under the inequality).
I hope this helps!

A trader bought x mangoes at the rate of 4 mangoes for 10 naira, five of the mangoes were bad so he sold the remaining at the ra
Artemon [7]

Answer:

  20

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the x mangoes was ...

  c = 10(x/4)

The revenue from the sale of mangoes was ...

  r = 20(x-5)/5

The profit is the difference between revenue and cost:

  10 = r - c = 20(x -5)/5 -10(x/4) = 1.5x -20 . . . . substitute and simplify

  30 = 1.5x . . . . . add 20

  20 = x . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5

The trader bought 20 mangoes.

_____

<em>Check</em>

He paid 20(10/4) = 50 naira. He sold the 15 good mangoes for 20/5(15) = 60 naira, so made a 10 naira profit.
