Original price×(1-discount price)=new price or sale price so
Put x in original price...x(1-45/100)=550
So the original price is 1000
<span>Given the quadratic equation: f(x) = -2x^2 - 2x - 1, the axis of symmetry can be obtained by finding the line that divides the function into two congruent or identical halves. Thus, it should pass through the vertex and is equal
to the x-coordinate of the vertex. </span>
<span>Note that a quadratic
equation in standard form: y = ax^2 + bx + c, has the vertex located at (h,k) where, h = -b/2a and k is determined by evaluating y at
h. In this case, a = -2, b = -2, thus, h = -0.5, k = 0.5. Thus, the vertex is located at (-0.5, 0.5) and the axis of symmetry is at x = -0.5. </span>
The following answer is B because it shows that it has to multiply the x - axis by the slope (5) to make sure that it can be equat to the y - axis.
y = 5x
y =5(16)
y = 80
(x, y) = (16, 80)
p = number of items sold (note: this is not the profit)
1 item sells for $855, so p items sell for 855p dollars
Subtract off the cost of 6780 and we have the expression 855p-6780 which is the profit for that given month.
Now plug in p = 250 because 250 items were sold in that given month
855*p - 6780 = 855*250 - 6780 = 206,970
The company earns $206,970 in profit for that month. Apply 15% to this value
15% of 206,970 = (15/100)*206,970 = 0.15*206,970 = 31,045.50

Answer: $31,045.50 which is choice C
