How do you solve this: $32 earrings marked up 80 percent

Formula for markup
sales price = original price × ( 1 + rate )

So in this case it would be...
sp = $32 × ( 1 + .80 )
$32 × ( 1.80 )
sp = $57.60

formula for discount ( if you need it )
sales price = original price × ( 1 - rate )
Just remember that the rate is the percentage ( to convert to a percentage to a decimal just move the decimal two places to the left )

Type the correct answer in the box. Rewrite the quadratic equation in the form y = a(x − h)2 + k. y=5x^2-30x+95

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

y = 5(x - 3)^2 + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem wants you to rewrite the quadratic equation in the vertex form y = a(x - h)^2 + k

You are given a quadratic equation in standard form (ax^2 + bx = c).

To convert from standard form to vertex form, there are two ways but I will show you the easier(?) way.

Use the formula x = -b/2a to find the x-value (h) of the vertex. Note that the vertex in "vertex form" is (h, k) which is virtually the same as (x, y).

In y = 5x^2 - 30x + 95, a = 5, b = -30, and c = 95. Substitute a and b into the formula -b/2a.

-(-30) / 2(5)

Two negative make a positive, so -(-30) becomes 30 and 2 times 5 is 10. Now we have:

30/10 which simplifies down to 3.

The x (h) value of the vertex is 3. To find the y-value, substitute 3 into the original standard form equation.

y = 5(3)^2 - 30(3) + 95
= 5(9) - (90) + 95
45 - 90 + 95
50

The y (k) value of the vertex is 50. Now we have: (h, k) ⇒ (3, 50).

Substitute the values for h and k into the vertex form.

y = a(x - 3)^2 + 50

We still need the a-value, and this is easy to find. You take the a value from the original standard for equation (remember: <u>a</u>x^2 + bx + c)

So our a-value is 5. Now we can substitute this value into the vertex form and complete the question.

y = 5(x - 3)^2 + 50

Which theorem is the following?

lord [1]

Answer:

Perpendicular bisector theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration of the theorem is:

If point B is a perpendicular bisector of Line AC and the length of AC is 10cm

Then

$AB + BC = 10$

Where

$AB = BC$ --- Perpendicular bisector

So, the equation becomes

$AB + AB =10$

$2AB =10$

$AB = 5$

Recall: $AB = BC$

$AB = BC = 5$

High population density can cause increased competition for resources such as food or shelter, while a low population density ca

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The region with the highest population density is Binky Lee

The region with the lowest population density is Cheslen

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>population density</em></u> is the number of people per unit of area

so

Find out the population density for each region

<em>Bear Creek</em>

$\frac{462}{112}= 3.70\ people/acre$

<em>Binky Lee</em>

$\frac{12,624}{3,412}= 4.13\ people/acre$

<em>Cheslen</em>

$\frac{3,537}{1,263}= 2.80\ people/acre$

<em>Crow's Nest</em>

$\frac{2,142}{612}= 3.5\ people/acre$

so

Cheslen < Crow's Nest < Bear Creek < Binky Lee

therefore

The region with the highest population density is Binky Lee

The region with the lowest population density is Cheslen
