Complete question :

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 52%.

a. Write the markdown as a decimal. b. Write an expression for the sale price of the hardcover book.

Answer:

0.52 ; 0.52b

Step-by-step explanation:

The markdown percentage = 52%

Expresaing markdown as a decimal :

52% = 52 / 100 = 0.52

Expression for the sale price of hardcover book:

Original price = b

Price was marked down by 0.52

Hence, sales price becomes ;

Original price * markdown

b * 0.52

0.52b

Use the change-of-basis identity,

$\log_x(y) = \dfrac{\ln(y)}{\ln(x)}$

to write

$xyz = \log_a(bc) \log_b(ac) \log_c(ab) = \dfrac{\ln(bc) \ln(ac) \ln(ab)}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}$

Use the product-to-sum identity,

$\log_x(yz) = \log_x(y) + \log_x(z)$

to write

$xyz = \dfrac{(\ln(b) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(b))}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}$

Redistribute the factors on the left side as

$xyz = \dfrac{\ln(b) + \ln(c)}{\ln(b)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(c)}{\ln(c)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(b)}{\ln(a)}$

and simplify to

$xyz = \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)}\right)$

Now expand the right side:

$xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~+ \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(c)\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)\ln(a)}$

Simplify and rewrite using the logarithm properties mentioned earlier.

$xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(c)} + 1$

$xyz = 2 + \dfrac{\ln(c)+\ln(a)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)+\ln(b)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)+\ln(c)}{\ln(a)}$

$xyz = 2 + \dfrac{\ln(ac)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(ab)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(bc)}{\ln(a)}$

$xyz = 2 + \log_b(ac) + \log_c(ab) + \log_a(bc)$

$\implies \boxed{xyz = x + y + z + 2}$

The price of an item has risen to $217 today. Yesterday it was $140. Find the percentage increase.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: $77

Step-by-step explanation: 77 is the correct answer because the price increased by 77 because 77 is the difference between the two, and how i got 77 was to subtract 140 ( the earlier price) from 217 ( the price that it changed to), i hope you found this helpful...
