Answer:

D. \frac{400p}{500-p}

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call A the number of copies sold of newspaper A and B the number of copies sold of newspaper B.

So, we can formulate the following equations from the sentence: a certain store sold copies of 256 Newspaper A for $1.00 each and copies of Newspaper B for $1.25 each as:

A + B = 256                               (1)

1A + 1.25 B = Total Revenue    (2)

Then, r and p are equal to:

r=\frac{A}{Total Revenue}*100=\frac{100A}{A+1.25B}     (3)

p=\frac{A}{256} *100=\frac{100A}{256}                            (4)

Isolating A from (4) and B from (1), we get:

A=\frac{256p}{100} =2.56p                (5)

B=256-A=256-2.56p                         (6)

Finally, replacing (5) and (6) in (3), we get:

r=\frac{100A}{A+1.25B}=\frac{100(2.56p)}{2.56p+1.25(256-2.56p)}\\\\r=\frac{256p}{2.56p+320-3.2p}=\frac{256p}{320-0.64p}\\\\r=\frac{256p/0.64}{(320-0.64p)/0.64}=\frac{400p}{500-p}

Given f(x) = 6x + 2, find f(x-3)
Molodets [167]

Answer:

6x -16

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 6x + 2

f(x-3) =

Replace x with x-3

f(x) = 6(x-3) + 2

   Distribute

    = 6x - 18 +2

    = 6x -16

A line that includes the point (-3,-4) and (-4,f ) has a slope of 6. What is the value of f?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

f = -10

( -3, -4) ( - 4 , -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope

m =( y_2 - y_1)/(x _2 - x _1)

m = 6

6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x _2 - x_1)

Substitute the points

( -3 , -4) ( -4 , f)

x_1 = -3

y_1 = -4

x_2 = -4

y_2 = f

Insert the values into

6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

6 = (f - (-4))/ ( -4 - (-3)

6 = ( f + 4)/ ( -4 + 3)

Cross multiply

6 ( -4 + 3) = f + 4

6 ( -1) = f + 4

-6 = f + 4

-6 - 4 = f

f = -6 - 4

f = -10

( -3 , -4) ( -3 , f)

The value of f is -10

( -3 , -4) ( -3 , -10)
