When the manager of Fantastic Furniture buys a sofa from a manufacturer, she uses a markup of 45% of her cost to set the selling

price of the sofa. What will be the selling price if the manager of Fantastic Furniture buys a sofa for $400? Show your work explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Selling price= $580

Step-by-step explanation:

eGiving the following information:

Buying price= $400

Mark-up percentage= 45% = 0.45

<u>The manager applies a mark-up equivalent to 45% of the buying price. First, we need to determine how much is 45% of the cost.</u>

Mark-up= buying price* Mark-up percentage

Mark-up= 400*0.45

Mark-up= $180

<u>Now, the selling price:</u>

Selling price= 400 + 180

Selling price= $580

Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = $(\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in$

b)the length of the wire for the square = $(\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in$

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

b= $\frac{y}{4}$

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

$A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}$

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the circle be;

2πr = 60-y

$r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }$

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

$A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2$

$=( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

Total Area (A);

A = $A_S+A_C$

= $\frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

For the smallest possible area; $\frac{dA}{dy}=0$

∴ $\frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0$

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}$

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

$y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$

∴ since $y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$ , we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= $60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}$

= $\frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}$

= $\frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}$

= $(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in$

also, the length of wire for the square (y) ; $y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in$

The smallest possible area (A) = $\frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})$

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No

Effectus [21]

If A and B are independent, then $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$ .

a.

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}$

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)$

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}$

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}$
