Answer:
£160,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Alice bought the house in 2008 for £x.
In 2014, the house sold for a 20% profit, so it sold for 1.2x. (* see explanation below)
In 2019, the house sold for a 5% loss, so it sold for 0.95(1.2x). (* see explanation below)
In 2019, it sold for £182,400.
0.95(1.2x) = 182,400
1.14x = 182,400
x = 182,400/1.14
x = 160,000
Answer: £160,000
* Explanation of 1.2 and 0.95.
A quick way to apply a percent increase or decrease to a number is to using the following method. The number you start with is 100% of the number. If you are adding a percent to it, then add the percent to 100% and convert it to a decimal. If you are subtracting the percent, then subtract the percent from 100% and convert to a decimal. Then multiply the decimal by the original number to find the increased or decreased number.
Example of percent increase:
A book used to cost £10. The price went up by 12%. What is the new price?
100% + 12% = 112% = 1.12
1.12 * £10 = £11.20
Example of percent decrease:
A pair of trousers costs £60. It is on sale at 35% off the regular price. What is the sale price?
100% - 35% = 65% = 0.65
0.65 * £60 = £39
We can simply multiply the roots together to find the original function.
(x + 2)(x - 4)(x - 4)(x - 3)
FOIL.
x^2 - 4x + 2x - 8(x - 4)(x - 3)
Combine like terms.
x^2 - 2x - 8(x - 4)(x - 3)
FOIL.
x^3 - 2x^2 - 8x - 4x^2 + 8x + 32(x - 3)
Combine like terms.
x^3 - 6x^2 + 32(x - 3)
FOIL.
x^4 - 6x^3 + 32x - 3x^3 + 18x^2 - 96
Combine like terms.
<h3>x^4 - 9x^3 + 18x^2 + 32x - 96 is the original function with the given roots.</h3>
Answer:
1.) He still owes $100 of debt
2.) 1 rose would be .75 cents and 1 carnation would be .90 cents
3.) C 8 and 3/8
Step by Step explanation
(/ means divided by in the first 2 equations but / in the last question is for the fractions.)
1.) _(1,500 / 3 =500. 1,500 - 500 =1,000 / 5 =200 x 3 =600. 700 - 600 =$100)
2.)_(1.50/2 =.75 cents. 2.70/3 =.90 cents.)
3.) i first added the fractions ( i equalized them) then i added the whole numbers (the u in the equation was to separate the whole num. and fraction )
Before i equalized it: (6u3/4 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)
After i equalized it: (6u6/8 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)
