I think the question is asking for the cost (C) when we already know that the sell price (S) is $24
So C+M=S
C+0.45C=24
1.45C=24
C=16.5516
And the answer is $16 and 55 cents

Answer: 5</h3>
=========================================================
One method is to plot the points P(3,6) and Q(7,3) on the same xy grid. Plot a third point R at (3,3). See the diagram below.
A right triangle forms in which we can find the legs PR = 3 and RQ = 4. The hypotenuse is found through the pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+4^2 = c^2
9+16 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = sqrt(25)
c = 5
This is the length of PQ
-----------------------------------
Or you can use the distance formula which is effectively using the pythagorean theorem just in a slightly different format (though it may not be obvious).
Answer:
The correct answer is - 72,349.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
selling price = 7234.92
Initial profit = 16%
we know:
selling price = cost price + profit
Solution:
78300 = cp + 16*cp/100
profit = 78300*16/100 = 12528
cost price = 78300 - 12528 = 65772
then the profit on 10%
= 65772*10/100
= 6577.2
the new selling price = 65772+6577.2
= 72,349.2
Answer:
x = (+ - ) 9
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 81
u know how u can sometimes cancel something out by doing the opposite.
This is one of those times as well. the opposite of ^2 = square root.
so if we take the square root of both sides, this will cancel out the^2 on the left side.
sqrt (x^2) = sqrt(81)
x = (+-) 9.....thats a positive and a negative sign...because the sqrt of 81 is both 9 and -9.
