Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial price of the jacket is $75.

Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is

30/100 × 75 = 0.3 × 75 = $22.5

The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is

75 - 22.5 = $52.5

He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is

6/100 × 52.5 = 0.06 × 52.5 = 3.15

Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is

52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65

Find how many six-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (with repetitions), if:
Goshia [24]

Answer:

case 1 = 2592

case 2 =  729

case 1 + case 2 =  2916

(this is not a direct adition, because case 1 and case 2 have some shared elements)

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1)

6 digits numbers that can be divided by 25.

For the first four positions, we can use any of the 6 given numbers.

For the last two positions, we have that the only numbers that can be divided by 25 are numbers that end in 25, 50, 75 or 100.

The only two that we can create with the numbers given are 25 and 75.

So for the fifth position we have 2 options, 2 or 7,

and for the last position we have only one option, 5.

Then the total number of combinations is:

C = 6*6*6*6*2*1 = 2592

case 2)

The even numbers are 2,4 and 6

the odd numbers are 3, 5 and 7.

For the even positions we can only use odd numbers, we have 3 even positions and 3 odd numbers, so the combinations are:

3*3*3

For the odd positions we can only use even numbers, we have 3 even numbers, so the number of combinations is:

3*3*3

we can put those two togheter and get that the total number of combinations is:

C = 3*3*3*3*3*3 = 3^6 = 729

If we want to calculate the combinations togheter, we need to discard the cases where we use 2 in the fourth position and 5 in the sixt position (because those numbers are already counted in case 1) so we have 2 numbers for the fifth position and 2 numbers for the sixt position

Then the number of combinations is

C = 3*3*3*3*2*2 = 324

Case 1 + case 2 = 324 + 2592 = 2916

sattari [20]

Answer:

Development costs: $2757

Promotion costs: $3155

Step-by-step explanation:

This might seem like a two-variable problem, but in actuality it's not - because the demand function is a sum of two components, each being independent and using only one variable, we can solve for the two separately.

Moreover, the price per unit and cost per unit is constant, so each product yields exactly $80 ($210 - $130).

Let's solve separately.

We need to maximize:

$80 * 160y/(y+4) - 1000y = $12800 * y/(y+4) - $1000*y

$80 * 170x/(x+7) - 1000x = $13600 * x/(x+7) - $1000*x

Let's go:

$12800 * y/(y+4) - $1000*y = $12800 * (1 - 4/(y+4)) - $1000y = $12800 - $51200/(y+4) - $1000*y

we analyze the derivative. $12800 is a constant, so we can skip it. Derivative of 1/(y+4) is -(y+4)^-2, derivative of $1000y is $1000.

deriv = $51200/(y+4)/(y+4) - $1000

We find the changepoints by analyzing $51200/(y+4)/(y+4) - $1000 = $0. We don't need to worry about y+4 = 0 because we cannot spend negative money on development/advertisement.

(y+4)^2 = $51.2

y+4 ~= 7.155417528 (or -y-4 = 7.1554... but it doesn't make sense because negative budget so we don't analyze).

y ~= 3.155417528

lastly, we should check that it's actually a maximum there - but it is, the original function goes to negative infinity.

rounding $1000y to the nearest dollar gives us $3155

Let's do the same for x:

$13600 * x/(x+7) - $1000*x = $13600 * (1 - 7/(x+7)) - $1000x = $13600 - $95200/(x+7) - $1000*x

deriv = $95200/(x+7)/(x+7) - $1000

$95200/(x+7)/(x+7) - $1000 = $0

(x+7)^2 = 95.2

(x+7) ~= 9.75704873412

x ~= 2.75704...

rounding $1000x to the nearest dollar yields $2757
