Answer:

$6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one book =  $5.40

cost of 1000 books = 1000* Cost of one book  =  $5.40*1000 = $5400

Transportation cost for all the books = $200

Thus, total cost for all the books = cost of 1000 books + Transportation cost for all the books  = $5400 + $200 = $5600.

Given , trader wants to earn a profit of 12.5%

thus, we find 12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader

12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader = 12.5/100 *  $5600. = $700

Thus, total profit for 1000 books will be $700

we know that

selling price = cost price + profit

therefore, in the given problem

selling price for 1000 books =  total cost for 1000 books + total profit

substituting the value as calculated above

selling price for 1000 books = $5600 + $700 = $6300

To find selling price for one book, lets divide LHS and RHS by 1000

selling price for 1000/100 books = $6300/1000 = $6.3

Thus, trader should sell each book at $6.3 to earn a profit of 12.5%.

Answer:

  d.  14 -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to substitute for y in the second equation, you must use the first equation to find an expression for y.

  3x +y = 14 . . . . . . first equation

  y = 14 -3x . . . . . .  subtract 3x from both sides

This gives you the expression for y that you want to use for substitution. It matches the expression of choice D.

  y = 14 -3x . . . . matches D

How do I find the area of the shaded blue region?
kogti [31]

That's a 240 degree sector of a 9 inch radius circle.  The whole circle has area πr² and we want 240/360 of it.

A = (240/360) π (9²) = 54 π

Answer: 54 π square inches

That's the exact answer.  An approximation is

169.646 square inches
