Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

We can just add up all of these fractions:

2 1/8 + 7/8 = 2 8/8 = 3

8 5/8 + 4/8 = 8 9/8 = 9 1/8

3 + 9 1/8 = 12\frac{1}{8}

Natali [406]
Eliminate parenthesis by using the distribution property

= 5x² -3x +3 - x² - 2x +1

Group similar terms

= (5-1)*x² + (-3 -2)*x + (3+1)

Then sum everything:

= 4x² -5x +4

A business bought a lot of 2,500 lamps for 50,000 dollars and wants to sell them at 15 percent profit how much should each lamp
aev [14]
50,000 / 2500 = 20....he bought them for 20 bucks a piece. So if he wants to sell them at 15% profit, he would sell them for 20 + 0.15(20) = $ 23 bucks.

A 15% profit of 50,000 dollars is  0.15(50,000) = 7500. Plus the 50 grand spent totals 57500. So they want to make a $ 7500 profit. Selling 2500 lamps at $ 23 per lamp (2500 x 23 = 57500) makes them their profit.

I should just shut up now...answer is $ 23 per lamp
