Scientific notation is basically a short cut to write numbers with a lot of zeros in them. The difference between 3^8 and 3*10^8 is that the first is 3 multiplied by itself 8 times, and the second is 3 being mulitplied by 10^8. I hope this helps.

If sales are $425,000, variable costs are 62% of sales, and operating income is $50,000, what is the contribution margin ratio?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

In an internal operating income statement, the form is as such:

(1) Sales (or Revenue) - Total Variable Costs = Contribution Margin;

(2) Contribution Margin - Total Fixed Costs = Operating Income

and

(3) Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

The first equation helps us out. Sales is the whole amount for this statement, or 100%. We know variable costs are 62% and the rest goes to the Cont. Margin.

100% - 68% = 32% (choice A)

30 years ago zoe was 2/3 as old as luke, 18 years ago zoe was 5/6 as old as luke how old are they now

barxatty [35]

Based on the mathematical statements, Zoe is 56 years old and Luke is 66 years old, now

<h3>How to determine how old they are now?</h3>

From the question, we have the following statements that can be used in our computation:

30 years ago

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

18 years ago

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

Let their present ages be represented as

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have the following representations

30 years ago

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

18 years ago

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

So, we have the following system of equations

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

Make x the subject in x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

Substitute x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16 in x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

5/6(y - 18) + 16 - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

Open the brackets

5/6y - 15 + 16 - 36 = 2/3y - 24

Evaluate the like terms

5/6y - 35 = 2/3y - 24

Multiply through by 6

5y - 210 = 4y - 144

Evaluate the like terms

y = 66

Substitute y = 66 in x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

x = 5/6(66 - 18) + 16

Evaluate

x = 56

Recall that

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have

Zoe = x = 56

Luke = y = 66

Hence, they are 56 and 66 years, now

The population of Hermitville increased from 142,340 to 186,480 in the last 5 years. During the same time period, Crabville incr

Musya8 [376]

The rate of increase of population of Hermitville is given by:
PR=(Present Population-Past Population)/(Past population)*100
PR=(186480-142340)/142340×100
PR=31.01%
The population increase in Hermitville is 31.01;
This implies that it's population growth is faster than that of Crabville by a factor of
31.01/26=1.19.
The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 2x-10

Let x=3

h(3) = 2*3 -10

= 6-10

Let x=-3

h(-3) = 2*-3 -10

= -6-10
