X=amount of money woman has
n=pounds of sugar 
Store #1: 8.5*n=x+30
Store #2: 8*n=x-25

multiply #2 by 17/16 to make coefficient of n same as in #1

2: 8.5*n=17/16(x-25)

Subtract #2 from #1

0=x+30-17/16(x-25)
x+30-17x/16 +25*17/16
x/16=30+25*17/16
x=480+425
=905 cents
=$9.05

The denominator in the earnings per share formula is? a.preferred dividends. b.net income. c.number of preferred shared outstand
astra-53 [7]

The denominator in the earnings per share formula is number of common shares outstanding.

What is the denominator used in the computation of earnings per share?

  • The weighted average of the outstanding shares of common stock serves as the numerator of the earnings per share.
  • The "per share" part necessitates further computation when the number of common shares changes in the middle of the year.
  • The weighting of the per share part depends on how long each share number has been in circulation.

How are basic earnings per share determined?

  • Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average of the common shares outstanding for the relevant period.
  • Preferred dividends should be removed from the net income because they are not available to common stockholders.
  • Net income can also be broken down into "continuing operations" P&L and "total P&L".

In the digram GH bisects FGI what is the answer for C.
zhannawk [14.2K]

The line GH bisects The triangle FGI meaning it divides it into two equal parts <em>(that is the definition if bisection); </em>therefore, the angles FGH and HGI are equal:

3x-2=4x-13

Now let us add 2 to both sides gives

3x=4x-11

subtracting 4x from both sides gives

-x=-11x=11.

Hence, x = 11.

The measure of FGH is

3x-2=3(11)-2=31

(B)

The measure of HGI is

4x-13=4(11)-13=31

(C)

The measure of FGI is the sum of HGI and FGH:

\begin{gathered} \text{FGI}=\text{HGI}+\text{FGH}=31+31 \\ FGI=62^o \end{gathered}
