Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
%profit = selling price - cost price/cost price * 100
If Mr. Wayne marks up every item with a profit of 25% and x be his cost for a calculator, the expression for the selling price can be gotten by substituting the parameters into the formula;
25 = sp-cp/cp * 100
25/100 = sp-x/x
0.25 = sp-x/x
cross multiply
0.25x = sp-x
add x to both sides
0.25x+x = sp-x+x
1.25x = sp
selling price = 1.25x
<em>Hence an expression for the selling price of the calculator is 1.25x</em>
<em></em>
b) If Mr wayne paid $25, the selling price is derived by substituing x = $25 into the expression in (a)
selling price = 1.25x
selling price = 1.25($25)
selling price = $31.25
c) If the selling price is $86, to get the cost of the calculator, substitute the selling price into the expression in (a)
selling price = 1.25x
$86= 1.25x
x is the cost price of the calculator
divide both sides by 1.25
$86/1.25= 1.25x/1.25
x = $68.8
<em>Hence Wayne paid $68.8 for a calculator that he sells for $86.</em>
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference of squares: (a^2 - b^2) = (a - b)(a + b)
(144x^2 - 49) = (12x - 7) (12x + 7)

Answer:
x = 31/9 and y = 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
3x - 2y = 7 -----(1)
3x + 4y = 17 ----(2)
<u>To find the solution by elimination method</u>
Step 1: Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)
3x - 2y = 7 -----(1)
<u> 3x + 4y = 17 </u>----(2)
0 - 6y = -10
6y = 10
y = 10/6 = 5/3
Step 2: Substitute the value of y in eq (1)
3x - 2y = 7 -----(1)
3x - 2*(5/3) = 7
3x = 7 + 10/3
3x = 31/3
x = 31/9
Therefore x = 31/9 and y = 5/3
The answer is C, your b in the equation is 4, and your slope is 1/2. Starting from four, you move up one and right two which means the slope is 1/2.
