Construct Arguments A store manager

Mathematics
1 answer:
Liula [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

$10 = price of flash drive

A store manager  marked up a $10 flash drive by 20%.

10 * 1.2 = $12

She then  marked it down by 20%.

12 * 0.8 = $9.60

Explain why the new  price of the flash drive is not $10.

20% of the original price, $10, is less that 20% of the marked up price, $12. This means the store manager lost more than she gained. Hence the price is not $10.

This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where 
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.

We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)

All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem.  In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.

So we can check which line passes through which point:

a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3)  means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok

b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
   ****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****

c. y=-4x+6  subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
   y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
   y-2 = -4(x-1)  
   which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok

d. y-2=-4(x-1)
   this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2), 
   this equation is ok.

Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.

How many digits are there in the smallest sequence of repeating digits in the decimal equivalent of 5/9
mestny [16]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

5/9 = 0.5555555

The smallest sequence of repeating digits in the decimal equivalent of 5/9

0.5

0.5 + 0.05

0.5 + 0.05 + 0.005

0.5 + 0.05 + 0.005 + 0.0005

Hence, the number of digit in the smallest sequence of repeating decimal is 1

5/9 = 0.5....
