Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
We want (n/p)(1). We can obtain this by finding n(1) and p(1) and then dividing as indicated:
p(1) = 3(1) - 2 = 1
n(1) = 2(1) - 5 = -3
Then (n/p) (1) = -3/1, or just -3
You can write any decimal as a precent by moving the decimal 2 places to the right so
0.51 = 51%
5.1% < 51%
5.1% < 0.51
or, any precent can be written as a decimal by moving the decimal points two point to the left so
5.1% = 0.051
0.051 < 0.51
5.1% < 0.51
We are given the current market price that is <span>$1,200 and we are asked in the problem to compute the target cost if one wishes to gain a 30% profit. In this case, we have to minimize the cost to achieve the profit desired. Then,
1.3 y = 1200
where y is the target cost
y = $923.08
