C: 60.9% is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup is calculated by using the formula

Mark\ up=Selling\ price-make\ price

Given

Make Price = $22.99

Selling Price = $36.99

So the mark up will be:

Mark\ up=36.99-22.99\\=\$14

Percent mark up will be:

Mark\ up=\frac{Mark\ up}{Make\ price}*100\\=\frac{14}{22.99}*100\\=0.6089*100\\=60.89\%

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth percent

60.9%

Hence,

C: 60.9% is the right answer

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

7 orchids can be lined as 7!. This means that for the first orchid of the line, you can select 7 options. When you place the first orchid, for the second option you can select among 6 since 1 orchid has already been placed. Similarly, for the 3rd orchid of  the line, you have left 5 options. The sequence goes in this fashion and for 7 orchids, you have 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 possibilities. However, there is a restriction here. 3 of the orchids are white and 4 are levender. This means that it does not make a difference if we line 3 white orchids in an arbitrary order since it will seem the same from the outside. As a result, the options for lining the 7 orchids diminish. The reduction should eliminate the number of different lining within the same colors. Similar to 7! explanation above, 3 white orchids can be lined as 3! and 4 levender orchids can be lined as 4!. To eliminate these options, we  divide all options by the restrictions. The result is:

\frac{7!}{4!*3!} = 35. [(7*6*5*4*3*2*1/(4*3*2*1*3*2*1)]

A certain fraction is greater than 2. The denominator is 8. What must be true about the numerator?
Volgvan

Answer:

The numerator must be greater than 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a certain fraction is greater than 2. Thus, if the numerator and denominator are x and y respectively, then we have;

x/y > 2

We are further told that the denominator is 8.

Thus;

x/8 > 2

Multiply both sides by 8 to give;

x > 16

Thus,the numerator must be greater than 16.

Amber, Bernie, and Carlos are working on a problem together. Their goal is to correctly apply the difference of cubes formula to
NeX [460]

Answer: Carlos is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^5-250x^2

The first step is to factorize out 2x^2

2x^2(x^3-125)

This can be rewritten as

2x^2(x^3-5^3),

Recall, difference if cube (a^3-b^3)

= (a-b)(a^2 +ab + b^2)

from our equation,

a= x

b = 5.

So the difference of cubes will be

2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 5^2)]

=2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 25)]

Carlos followed these steps. So he is correct. Carlos is correct because he correctly factored the GCF, identified a and b, and applied the difference of cubes method.

Amber is incorrect because 125 is equal to b3, not b.

Bernie is incorrect because x2 is not the GCF of the polynomial. The GCF is 2x^2.

Can someone please help?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

C.  y = 2/3 x - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the slope-intercept equation of a line is y = mx + c where m = the slope and  (0. c) is the y-intercept.

We are given that the slope = 2/3 and the y intercept is at (0,-2) so our equation is y = 2/3 x - 2.
