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>

Prove that 7 + 3 root 2 is not a rational number​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where

7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]

3√2= a/b-7

3√2 =( a-7b) /b

√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)

Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.

Learning Task 3
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

1. The sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5

2. Presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old

3. Distance = 3682km

4. Possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

5. L < 38m

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has lots of missing details. See the comment section for complete question

Solving (a):

Given

Shape: Quadrilateral

Sides: Consecutive

Perimeter = 160

Let one of the sides be x. The other sides will be x + 1, x + 2 and x + 3.

So, the perimeter is:

Perimeter = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3

This gives:

160 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3

Collect Like Terms

160 -1-2-3= x+x+x+x

154= 4x

Divide both sides by 4

38.5 = x

x =38.5

<em>So, the sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5</em>

<em></em>

Solving (b):

Given

Presently: Inzo = 10 + Miz

Five years ago: Miz - 5= \frac{1}{3} * (Inzo-5) --- (Missing from the question)

Required: Determine their present ages

Substitute 10 + Miz for Inzo in the second equation

Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (10 + Miz - 5)

Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (Miz + 5)

Multiply both sides by 3

3Miz - 15 = Miz + 5

Collect Like Terms

3Miz -Miz = 15  + 5

2Miz= 20

Divide both sides by 2

Miz = 10

Substitute 10 for Miz in Inzo = 10 + Miz

Inzo = 10 + 5

Inzo = 15

<em>So presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old</em>

Solving (3):

Given

Express Train:

Speed = 100kph

Time = t

Local Train:

Speed = 45kph

Time = t + 45

Required: Determine the distance between A and B

Distance is calculated as:

Distance = Speed * Time

For the express train:

Distance = 100 * t

For the local train

Distance = 45 * (45 + t)

Distance between both stations are equal; So,

100 * t = 45 * (45 + t)

100 t = 2025 + 45t

Collect Like Terms

100 t -45t= 2025

55t= 2025

Divide by 55

t = 36.82

Substitute 36.82 for t in Distance = 100 * t

Distance = 100 * 36.82

Distance = 3682km

Solving (4):

Let the even numbers be: n and n + 2.

Sum greater than 24: n + n + 2 > 24

Sum less than 60: n + n + 2 < 60

So, we have:

n + n + 2 > 24

2n + 2 > 24

Collect Like Terms

2n > 24-2

2n > 22

n > 11

n + n + 2 < 60

2n + 2< 60

Collect Like Terms

2n < 60-2

2n < 58

Divide by 2

n

So, we have:

n > 11 and n < 29

So, possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

Solving (5):

Given

Perimeter < 152m

Required: Find the possible lengths

Let the length be L.

Perimeter is calculated as:

Perimeter =4 * L

Perimeter =4  L

So, we have:

4L < 152m

Divide through by 4

L < 38m

Hence, length is less than 38m (e.g. 37m)

Prove that : cos10° - sin10° / sin10° + cos10° = tan35°​
Digiron [165]

Step-by-step explanation:

(cos 10° − sin 10°) / (cos 10° + sin 10°)

Rewrite 10° as 45° − 35°.

(cos(45° − 35°) − sin(45° − 35°)) / (cos(45° − 35°) + sin(45° − 35°))

Use angle difference formulas.

(cos 45° cos 35° + sin 45° sin 35° − sin 45° cos 35° + cos 45° sin 35°) / (cos 45° cos 35° + sin 45° sin 35° + sin 45° cos 35° − cos 45° sin 35°)

sin 45° = cos 45°, so dividing:

(cos 35° + sin 35° − cos 35° + sin 35°) / (cos 35° + sin 35° + cos 35° − sin 35°)

Combining like terms:

(2 sin 35°) / (2 cos 35°)

Dividing:

tan 35°
