12.5%, every 500 years you take away half of the substance (50%) -> 25% -> 12.5%
you divide your number 3 times because 1500/500=3

Part B:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Models</u>
Candy's Sweets Company charges $1.15 per pound to ship candy. This represents a proportional relationship between the pounds of candy and the cost.
Part A: If each pound costs $1.15, then p pounds cost $1.15p. Then the equation of the cost c is:
c = 1.15p
The cost of shipping p=2 pounds of candy is:
c = 1.15*2 = 2.30
c = $2.30
Part B: When the company reduces the cost by $0.25 per pound, the new unit cost is $1.15 - $0.25 = $0.90 per pound.
The new equation to determine the total cost for p pounds of candy is:
c = 0.90p
Answer:
a. $20.45
b. $24.55
c. $4.55
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the cost price and profit or loss selling a pair of shoes.
we proceed as follows
Firstly, we want to find the cost price given the selling price and the mark up percentage.
mathematically;
profit =( selling price - cost price)/cost price * 100%
here our profit is 120% with the cost price being $45. we plug these values
120 = 45-cp/cp * 100%
120cp = 100(45-cp)
120cp = 4500 -100cp
220cp = 4500
cp = 4500/220 = $20.45
His profit is selling price - cost price = 45 - 20.45 = $24.55
His profit selling same shoe for $25 is 25-20.45 = $4.55
= (y+6) +y =10
= 2y + 6 = 10
= 2y = 4
Y= 2
