Part One: The employees must sell 72 pizzas in order to receive bonus.

Part Two: There is a 10% increase in the sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Pizzas sold yesterday = 60

(part one) The owner offers the employees a bonus if the number of pizzas sold increases by 20% today. How many pizzas must the pizzeria sell for employees to receive the bonus?

Sales to increase = 20% of yesterday sales

Sales to increase = $\frac{20}{100}*60 = 12\ pizzas$

Total = Pizzas sold yesterday + Sales to increase

Total = 60+12 = 72 pizzas

The employees must sell 72 pizzas in order to receive bonus.

(part two) Suppose the actual number of pizzas sold today was 66. Describe the number of pizzas sold as a percent increase or decrease, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Number of pizzas sold = 66

Difference = Pizzas sold today - Pizzas sold yesterday

Difference = 66-60 = +6

The positive sign indicates the increase in sales.

Increase percent = $\frac{Difference}{Pizzas\ sold\ yesterday}*100$

Increase percent = $\frac{6}{60}*100 = \frac{600}{60}$

Increase percent = 10%

There is a 10% increase in the sales.

Answer:

9. x=102

10. x=56

11. x=104

12. x=138

Step-by-step explanation:

9. In this problem, they are alternate exterior angles, meaning they are the same value. x=102

10. x is a corresponding angle, meaning they are the same. x=56

11. There are consecutive interior angles. The sum of these two angles is 180. to find x, subtract 76 from 180. 180-76 = 104 x = 104

12. These two angles are verticle angles, meaning they are equivalent. x = 138

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The value now = $207,360

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of increase = 20% per year = 20/100 = 0.2 per year

value 3 years ago = $120,000

interest at year 1:

20% of 120,000

= 0.2 × 120,000 = 24,000

Value at the end of year 1

= initial value + interest

= 120,000 + 24,000 = $144,000

In year 2:

20% of 144,000

= 0.2 × 144,000 = 28,800

Value at the end of year 2:

144,000 + 28,800 = $172,800

In year 3

0.2 × 172,800 = 34,560

Value at the end of year 3:

34,560 + 172,800 = $207,360

Can someone do this fast ? I need it for tomorrow

gregori [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hg(x) means you multiply h(x) times g(x) and then we will set it equal to $3x^2+x-1$ .

hg(x) = $x^2(x+2)$ which simplifies to

$x^3+2x^2$ . Now set that equal to $3x^2+x-1$ :

$x^3+2x^2=3x^2+x-1$ and get everything on the same side and factor:

$x^3-x^2-x+1=0$ . Factor by grouping:

$(x^3-x^2)-(x+1)=0$ and factor out what's common in each set of ( ):

$x^2(x-1)-1(x-1)=0$ which factors out to

$(x^2-1)(x-1)=0$ . But $x^2-1$ factors somoe to:

(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 So the solutions for this are

x = -1, 1
