To Find :

The total profit .

Solution :

Let , total profit be x .

It is given that 8 % of the total profit is equal to $5500 .

So ,

\dfrac{8x}{100}=5500\\\\x=\dfrac{5500\times 100}{8}\\\\x=\$\ 68750

Therefore , total profit is $68750 .

What is 5/47 as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

You divide 5 by 47 and then see if the fourth digit after the decimal is 5 or greater or less than 5. If it's less, the digit before it remains the same and the decimal cuts off at it. If it's 5 or greater, the digit before it goes up one and the. decimal cuts off at it. Using this, you should get 0.106, I think.

2. Compare the function ƒ(x) = –x^2 + 4x – 5 and the function g(x), whose graph is shown. Which function has a greater absolute
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of g(x) as shwon in the graph is located in the point wich coordinates are (3.5,6.25) approximatively

We need to khow the coordinates of f(x) vertex

  • Here is a way without derivating:

f(x) = -x² + 4x -5

let a be the leading factor, b the factor of x and c the constant:

  • a= -1
  • b= 4
  • c= -5

The coordinates of a vertex are: (\frac{-b}{2a} , f(\frac{-b}{2a}) )

-b/2a = -4/ (-1*2) = 4/2 = 2

f(2)= -2²+4*2-4 = -4+4-4 = -4

obviosly f(x) has a minimum wich less than g(x)'s maximum

A submarine travels through the water at an elevation of - 203 meters (it travels below the surface). The sub starts to rise. Th
rjkz [21]
Well see here that it practically gives us the answer. The submarine rises 4.3 meter each minute of the first 15 minutes. Multiplying these two given numbers you get 64.5  . Great we're halfway through. Now onto the second equation. 5.2 times 12 . easy right? The answer round to 62.4 . Now all that's left to do is add the two together. After the 27 minutes the submarine should be at an elevation of 126.9 feet. rounding to 127 if you teacher requires you to round the numbers.

Josie had some money in her bank account. She went shopping and spent $493.98. After shopping she still had %185. How much money
solong [7]

Answer:

$678.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount she had before she started spending be T. If she went shopping and spent $493.98 then the amount she would have is

= T - 493.98

Given that she has $185 left then

T - 493.98 = 185

Add 493.98  to both sides

T - 493.98 + 493.98 = 185 + 493.98

T = $678.98

She must have had $678.98 in her bank account to begin?
