The percent of markup is 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling price of the drink = $1.50
Cost of the drink last year = $1.25
Percent of markup = (selling price - cost) (100)/cost
Percent of markup = (1.50 - 1.25)(100) /1.25
= 0.25(100) /1.25
= 25/1.25
= 20%
The percent of markup is 20%
Answer:
XXL = $19.75
Box of Breadstick = $3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Let :
cost per XXL pizza = x
Cost per box of bread stick = y
4x + 2y = 86 - - - (1)
6x + 4y = 132.50 - - - (2)
From (1): Divide (1) by (2)
2x + y = 43 - - - (3)
y = 43 - 2x
Substitute y = 43 - 2x into (2)
6x + 4(43 - 2x) = 132.50
6x + 172 - 8x = 132.50
-2x + 172 = 132.50
-2x = 132.50 - 172
-2x = - 39.50
x = $19.75
y = 43 - 2x
y = 43 - 2(19.75)
y = $3.5
Answer:
Choice B. log 4^x = log 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve 4^x=17
x is in the exponent... so the only operation to bring the x down is the Logarithm
log 4^x = log 17 take log of both sides
then x* log 4 = log 17
and then x = (log 17)/(log 4)
Answer:
(x+1)(2x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x² + 7x + 5
Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 2x²+ax+bx+5. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
a+b=7
ab=2×5=10
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 10.
1,10
2,5
Calculate the sum for each pair.
1+10=11
2+5=7
The solution is the pair that gives sum 7.
a=2
b=5
2x²+7x+5 as (2x²+2x)+(5x+5).
(2x²+2x)+(5x+5)
Factor out 2x in the first and 5 in the second group.
2x(x+1)+5(x+1)
Factor out common term x+1 by using distributive property.
(x+1)(2x+5)
Many simple inequalities can be solved by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing both sides until you are left with the variable on its own.
But these things will change direction of the inequality:
Don't multiply or divide by a variable (unless you know it is always positive or always negative)
