A department store purchases logo shirts at a cost of $10 per shirt. They mark up the price 100% and put them on the sales floor

. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25%. After three monthly markdowns, the final shirt from the shipment is sold. There is a 5% sales tax on the selling price. What is the total cost to the customer?

<span><u><em>The final cost to the customer would be: </em></u>
$8.85.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
We can find this answer by taking each step individually.

<u>The first step is to determine the cost after the 100% markup. </u>
To get this, we would multiply the original cost by 2.
10*2 = 20.

<u>Now that we have that new cost, we would find the cost after each markdown. </u>
We would get this by taking the cost from the previous month and multiplying by 0.75 (75%), which is how much is left after each markdown of 25%.
First ---> 20*.75 = 15.
Second---> 15*.75 = 11.25.
Third ---> 11.25*.75 = 8.43.

<u>Now that we have the cost of each shirt, we have to find the price along with sales tax.</u>
Since the sales tax is 5%, we need to multiply by the whole cost 100% plus the addition 5% or (1.05).
8.43*1.05= 8.85. </span>

Solve (x-3)^2 =5 completing the square
otez555 [7]

Answer:

x = 3 ± √5

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (x - 3)² = 5 doesn't need completing the square to solve (this is the step after you finish completing the square):

Step 1: Square root both sides

x - 3 = ±√5

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides

x = 3 ± √5 = 0.76392, 5.23607

Use the approach in Gauss's problem to find the sums of the arithmetic sequences below
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

15150 is the required sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gauss method of summing sequences like this is to add the first term to the last term, the second term to the second to the last term and so on until you get to the middle. By doing this, you will always get the same sum. Then you divide the number of terms by two, because you are technically adding the first half of the sequence to the second half. You then multiply the sum of each pair that gave the same number with the number of terms that has been divided by 2. For this problem we have:

3 + 300 = 303

6 + 297 = 303

9 + 294 = 303

and so on.

100÷ 2 = 50.

Therefore we have 50 * 303 = 15150 is the required sum.

Data collected at Toronto Pearson International Airport suggest that an exponential distribution with mean value 2,725 hours is
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

P(X >2)

And we can calculate this with the complement rule like this:

P(X>2) = 1-P(X

And using the cdf we got:

P(X>2) = 1- [1- e^{-\lambda x}] = e^{-\lambda x} = e^{-\frac{1}{2.725} *2}= 0.480

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable of interest:

X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{2.725})

Solution to the problem

We want to calculate this probability:

P(X >2)

And we can calculate this with the complement rule like this:

P(X>2) = 1-P(X

And using the cdf we got:

P(X>2) = 1- [1- e^{-\lambda x}] = e^{-\lambda x} = e^{-\frac{1}{2.725} *2}= 0.480

A fisherman casts his bait toward the river at an angle of 25° above the horizontal. The bait and hook reach a maximum height of
weeeeeb [17]

the vertical component of the casting velocity will be reduce to zero at point h by the force of gravity.

If we use the kinematic equation

vf² = vi² +2as

and realize that the final vertical velocity is zero

and the initial vertical velocity is vsinθ

where θ is the angle of cast above the horizon

0 = vsin25 + 2(-9.8)h

h = 0.423v / 19.6

h = 0.02156v

so the missing potential heights and the associated answer velocities are

v = 19 m/s...h = 0.410 m

v = 8.3 m/s...h = 0.179 m

v = 6.9 m/s...h = 0.149 m

v = 8.4 m/s...h = 0.181 m

choose the one that fits the question

or use the method to find the correct velocity based on the actual height reference frame.
