1. Lucy has a jewelry business. To make a certain necklace, she spends $3.38 on materials and $5.57 on labor. She then sells the

necklace for $15.99. Lucy’s profit on the necklace is equal to the sale price minus the cost of materials and labor.
(a) How much profit does Lucy earn when she sells a necklace? Show your work.
(b) Write a fraction of the profit per sale price of the necklace. Record your answer as a fraction using whole numbers.
(c) What decimal of every dollar of the sale price of the necklace is profit using the fraction from Part (b)? Show your work. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
(d) Lucy collected $223.86 selling necklaces at a craft fair. How many necklaces did Lucy sell? Show your work.
(e) How much profit did she earn from the number of necklaces she sold? Show your work.

A. Profit is calculated by subtracting the total cost from total revenue.

    TR = $15.99 and TC = $3.38 + $5.57

           P = $15.99 - ($3.38 + $5.57)
   <em>          P = $7.04</em>

b. The fraction of the profit and sale price is,

    F = Profit / sale price = 7.04 / 15.99

Simplifying,

   <em>F = 704/1599</em>

 c. If the fraction in b is expressed in decimal places to the nearest hundredths is<em> 0.44</em>.

d. To determine the number of necklaces sold, divide the total amount collected by the price of each.

     n = $223.86 / $15.99 = 14

Answer:<em> 14</em>

e. The profit is calculated by multiplying the answers from a and d.
   
     TP = 14($7.04)
    <em>  TP = $98.56 </em>

<span>(a) $7.04 (b) 704/1599 (c) 0.44 (d) 14 (e) $98.56 (a) How much profit does Lucy earn when she sells a necklace? Since the problem states that her profit is the sale price minus the cost of materials and labor, we have the following equation. P = $15.99 - $3.38 - $5.57 P = $12.61 - $5.57 P = $7.04 So her profit is $7.04 per necklace. (b) Write a fraction of the profit per sale price of the necklace. Record your answer as a fraction using whole numbers. The raw fraction is 7.04/15.99, to get rid of the decimal point, multiply top and bottom by 100, getting 704/1599. The prime factors of 704 are 2,2,2,2,2,2,11 and the prime factors of 1599 are 3,13,41. Since neither 704, nor 1599 share any common factors, the fraction can't be reduced and the final answer is 704/1599. (c) What decimal of every dollar of the sale price of the necklace is profit using the fraction from Part (b)? Pardon the lack of formatting 704/1599 = 0.4403 Rounded to the nearest hundredth gives 0.44 (d) Lucy collected $223.86 selling necklaces at a craft fair. How many necklaces did Lucy sell? Show your work. This question is asking for total cost. So divide the $223.86 by the sale price of $15.99. $223.86 / $15.99 = 14 14 necklaces were sold. (e) How much profit did she earn from the number of necklaces she sold? Show your work. Since we know from (a) that she has $7.04 profit per necklace, just multiply the amount of profit by the number sold. So $7.04 * 14 = $98.56</span>

I can bake 3/4 of a cake in 5 minutes. How much of the cake canlbake in 1 minute?​
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

3/20 cake in 1 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

"3/4 of a cake in 5 minutes" is a verbal equation.  We can divide both sides (that is, 3/4, 5 min) by 5 to determine the number of cakes I can bake in 1 minute:

  3                    5 min

-------- cake in -----------

4(5)                     5

resulting in 3/20 cake in 1 minute.

Can you guys help me?​
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y = 2x

       y = 2*4 = 8  Checks, therefore

y = 20  for x = 10

2. y = 3x

       y = 3*(0.3) = 0.9  Checks, therefore:

y =  3*(1.5) = 4.5  

       y = 3*

3. y = 5/x

       y = 5/(1/2) = 10  Checks, therefore:

       3 = 5/x

x = 5/3

4 v = wu

7*3 = 21  Checks, therefore:

v =  (3/4)*(6) = (18/4) = (9/2)

v = (2/3)wu

v = (2/3)*7*3 = 14 Checks

5 m = Kn/p  [Add the K as a constant that will make m = Knp true at some value of K]

9 = K*2/(1/3)

27 = (K*2)

27 = 2K

K = (3/2)

       m = (3/2) (n/p)

       m = (3/2)*((1/2)/(1/3))

        m = (3/2)*(3/2)

        m = 1

What is the binomial
mina [271]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  coefficients of the expansion of (a + b)^2 are 1 2 1, which is the third row of Pascal's triangle.

For (a + b)^3 they are 1 3 3 1 which is in the 4th row, and so on

So those for the (a + b)^n are in the (n + 1)th row.
