Answer:

The clearance price is $17.28.

The clearance price will not give the store any profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a store pays a manufacturer $20 for a hat. To make a profit, the store prices the hat 60% higher than the amount they paid.

The price of the hat after increasing the price by 60% will be:

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+(\frac{60}{100}*20)$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+(0.60*20)$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+12$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=32$

So, the price of hat after the increase of 60% will be $32.

As the sale reduces the price of hat by 10%, so the price of hat after sale will be:

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-(\frac{10}{100}*32)$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-(0.10*32)$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-3.2$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=28.8$

So the price of hat after 10% sale will be $28.8.

As the clearance sale reduces the price by 40%, so price of hat after clearance sale will be 28.8 minus 40% of 28.8.

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-(\frac{40}{100}*28.8)$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-(0.40*28.8)$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-11.52$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=17.28$

Therefore, the clearance price is $17.28.

As store has purchased the hat from manufacturer for $20 and sold it $17.28, therefore, the store will not have a profit.

Find two values for k such that the trinomial x2 – 7x + k can be factored over the integers. Explain your reasoning.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

1) For $a = 1$ : $b = 6$ and $k = 6$ , 2) For $a = 3$ : $b = 4$ and $k = 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial $y = x^{2} - 7\cdot x + k$ is a second-order polynomial of the form $(x-a)\cdot (x-b) = x^{2}-(a+b)\cdot x + a\cdot b$ . By direct comparison, we construct the following system of equations:

$a + b = 7$ (1)

$a\cdot b = k$ (2)

By (1) we know that there are a family of pairs such that the system of equations is satisfied. Let suppose that both $a$ and $b$ are integers. We assume two arbitrary integers for $a$ :
