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.

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>

Find the value in degrees 2x+6. X 96
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

x = -0.04166666667

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8 * 96 = 0

2x * 96 = -8

x/2 * 96 = -8/2

x * 96 = -4

x = -4/96

x = -0.04166666667

PLEASE HELP!!
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = - 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3}(x + 6) = - 18

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x + 6) = - 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x + 6 = - 27 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = - 33

Please solve. Evaluate the function.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

(g o f)(x) = \sqrt{-510} (not simplified)

Step-by-step explanation:

(g o f)(x) = g(f(x))

g(x) = \sqrt{3x}  f(x) = x^{3} + 9x

g(f(-5)) = g((-5)^{3} + 9(-5) = (-125) + (-45) = -170

g(-170) = \sqrt{3(-170)} = \sqrt{-510}

Composite figure is made up of 4 triangles and a square.

Area of Square = Length x Length 
Area of Square = 12 x 12
Area of Square= 144 cm²

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle  = 1/2 x 12 x 8 
Area of triangle  = 48 cm²

Area of 4 Triangles = 48 x 4
Area of 4 Triangles = 192 cm²

Total Area = 144 + 192 = 336 cm² 

\Longrightarrow \boxed { \boxed { Answer : 336 cm^{2} }}
