The shop then sold the clock again at a profit of 80 percent on its buy-back price. If the difference between the clock's original cost to the shop and the clock's buy-back price was $100, for how much did the shop sell the clock the second time?

Answer: Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the clock be "x "

<em>The clock is then resold to a collector = x + 20% of "x "</em>

<em>= x + 0.2x</em>

<em>= 1.2x</em>

Now, the shop re-buy the clock at a price = <em>Reselling\ price \times 0.50</em>

<em>= 1.2x \times 0.5</em>

<em>= 0.6x </em>

Therefore,

<em>Original Cost - Buy-Back price = $100</em>

<em>⇒ x - 0.6x = 100</em>

<em>⇒ x = 250  </em>

Hence , the selling price of the clock for the second time is

<em>= 1.8\times0.6\times250</em>

<em>= $270 </em>

<em></em>

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 9x^2-64=0
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

E. -8/3

F. 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-64=0

Add 64 to each side

9x^2-64+64 = 0+64

9x^2 =64

Divide each side by 9

9x^2/9 = 64/9

x^2 = 64/9

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(64/9)

We know that sqrt(a/b) = sqrt(a)/sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(64)/sqrt(9)

x = ± 8/3

Given f(x) = 6x^4 – 10x^3 + 40x – 50, find f(2)
ASHA 777 [7]
F(x)=6x^4-10x^3+40x-50, plug 2 in for x
f(2)=6(2)^4-10(3)^3+40(2)-50
f(2)=12^4-30^3+80-50
f(2)=20735-27,000+80-50
f(2)=-6,235

What number should be added to the expression x2 14x to change it into a perfect square trinomial?.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

  49

Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the square of a binomial, you see ...

  (x +a)^2 = x^2 +(2a)x +a^2

The constant value (a^2) is <em>the square of half the x-coefficient</em>.

  (14/2)^2 = 49 . . . . the value to be added.

Adding 49 gives ...

  x^2 +14x +49 = (x +7)^2
