Dan paid 34.30 for a sweater. The price included a 40% markup. Find the cost of the sweater before the markup was added.

Answer:

The cost of the sweater before the markup is $24.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent markup of an item is calculated by subtracting the original cost of the item from the sale price and then dividing by the original cost.  In this case, we are trying to find the original cost, so we know that the percent markup is 40%, or 0.4.  Since the sale price of the item would be 100% of the original cost multiplied by an additional 40% markup, we can take the sale price of the item divided by 140%, or 1.4:  34.30/1.4 = 24.50.

Answer:

The picture shows the answer on the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

-2=-3/4×(x-6)

Distribute -3/4 through the parenthesis

-2= -3/4x+9/2

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

-8=-3x+18

Move the variable to the left side and change its sign

3x-8=18

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

3x=18+8

Add the numbers

3x=26

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

x=26/3

Alternative Form- x=8 2/3 or x=8.6

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2 1) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x-2y=8 ?
monitta
4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean) 

2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).

So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5

In a large population of college-educated adults, the mean IQ is 118 with a standard deviation of 20. Suppose 200 adults from th
cricket20 [7]

Answer: 0.0793

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the IQ of the educated adults be X then;

Assume X follows a normal distribution with mean 118 and standard deviation of 20.

This is a sampling question with sample size, n =200

To find the probability that the sample mean IQ is greater than 120:

P(X > 120) = 1 - P(X < 120)

Standardize the mean IQ using the sampling formula : Z = (X - μ) / σ/sqrt n

Where;  X = sample mean IQ; μ =population mean IQ; σ = population standard deviation and n = sample size

Therefore, P(X>120) = 1 - P(Z < (120 - 118)/20/sqrt 200)

                                 = 1 - P(Z< 1.41)

The P(Z<1.41) can then be obtained from the Z tables and the value is 0.9207

Thus; P(X< 120) = 1 - 0.9207

                          = 0.0793

How to solve -2(x+3)=8​
Shtirlitz [24]
-2(x + 3) = 8

Multiply -2 with x and 3

-2x -6 = 8

Now add 6 to both sides

-2x -6 = 8
+6 +8

-2x = 16

Lastly divide -2 from both sides to find x


-2x = 16
—— —-
-2x -2x


X = -8

Answer:

y=3r+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Break up the sentance.

Capon city has 5 more than 3 times as many residents as harbor city.

The sentance above can be written like this: y=5+3x. Since they want r to represent the number of people in Harbor city, use r in place of x.

Capon city=y

has=equal sign

5 more=+5

3 times as many=3r

y=3r+5
