Suppose the catalog price of an item is $475 and the trade-discount rate is 15%. What is the correct setup to find net price?

1 answer:

Kaylis [27]2 years ago

The formula is
Net price= list price-trade discount

List price 475

Trade discount=list price×trade discount rate
Trade discount=475×0.15=71.25
Net price=475−71.25=403.75

But your options are in different way
To find The net price after the trade discount is 85% (100%-15%)
So the correct setup to find net price is C. Net Price = $475 * 85%
Net price=475×0.85=403.75

Use completing the square to determine which of the following gives the solutions to 3x2 - 24x + 40 = 28.

Answer:

$x=4+2\sqrt{3}$

$x=4-2\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Completing the square</u>

when $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Given equation:

$3x^2-24x+40=28$

Subtract 40 from both sides:

$\implies 3x^2-24x=-12$

Divide both sides by 3:

$\implies x^2-8x=-4$

Add the square of half the coefficient of $x$ to both sides:

$(\frac{b}{2})^2=(\frac{-8}{2})^2=16$

$\implies x^2-8x+16=-4+16$

Factor the left side and simplify the right side:

$\implies (x-4)^2=12$

Square root both sides:

$\implies x-4=\pm\sqrt{12}$

Add 4 to both sides and simplify the radical:

$\implies x=4\pm\sqrt{4 \cdot 3}$

$\implies x=4\pm\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}$

$\implies x=4\pm2\sqrt{3}$

A questionnaire has determined that 20% of the residents of Flaugamuck County own an iPod. Furthermore, 80% of these iPod owners

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

P = 7.14%

The percentage of those 30 years or older that own an ipod is 7.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Percentage of ipod owners Pi = 20%

Percentage who don't own ipod Pd = 100-20 = 80%

For age 30 or older;

Percentage of ipod owners who belong to this group

Po = 20% of Pi

Percentage who don't have an ipod but belong to this group Pu = 100-35% = 65% of Pd

The percentage of those 30 years or older that own an ipod is;

P = Po/(Po+Pu) × 100%

Po = 20% of Pi = 20% of 20% = 0.2×20 =4%

Pu = 65% of Pd = 65% of 80% = 0.65×80% = 52%

Substituting the values;

P = 4/(4+52) × 100%

P = 7.14%

What are the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial? 3u-5u^6+9u^3.<br><br> HELP!

koban [17]

Answer:

-5, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 6 is the highest power, it is the degree, and so we also take the coefficient of that term.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!<br> Find AB and M

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle ABC is an equilateral so all angles and sides are equal to each other

AB = 6

triangle DEF is an isosceles so two of its angles are equal to each other

a triangles angles add up to 180°

to find the measure of these angles we’ll write this equation:

x + x + 40 = 180

and solve for x

2x + 40 = 180

2x = 140

x = 70°

so mF is 70°
