A.) If Lucy sells 1 necklace, her sales would equal to $15.99. Then her profit would be:
Profit = $15.99 - $3.38(1) - $5.57(1)
Profit = $7.04
The fraction of the sale price of the necklace in profit is denoted as x.
15.99x = 7.04
x = 704/1559
b.) This is the same as part (a) but in decimal form. Just simply divide 704 by 1559. The answer is 0.44
c.) If Lucy's sales is $223.86 and each necklace costs $15.99, then the number of necklaces sold is $223.86 ÷ $15.99/necklace = 14 necklaces
Her profit for the 14 necklaces sold would be:
$223.86 - $3.38(14) - $5.57(14) = $98.56
The most accurate way would be the fourth answer, because to estimate 66% of 47 you need to round both as closely as possible. 66% rounds closest to 2/3, and 47 is closest to 48
4x=20-8y
x=5-2y now use this value of x in the second equation...
3(5-2y)+6y=15
15-6y+6y=15
15=15 This is true for any y or x value.
So there are infinitely many solutions as the two equations describe the same line.
The volumes of spheres are proportional to R³. So their 'R's
are proportional to ∛their volumes.
(729/ 27) = 27
∛27 = <u>exactly 3</u> . No rounding required.
