The number of books sold is 473.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- The original cost of each book = $0.64
- The selling price of each book = $0.75
The difference between the original price and selling price of the book gives the profit per book.
The profit of one book = Selling price - Original price
Let,
- The total number of books be 'x'.
- The number of books sold be 'y'.
- The unsold books is 100.
- The total profit is -12 because it was gone to a loss of $12.
Therefore, the equation is formed as
total Profit = 0.75y - 0.64x
⇒ 0.75y - 0.64x = -12 --------(1)
Total books = sold books + unsold books
x = y + 100
⇒ x-y = 100 -------(2)
Substitute x= 100+y in the eq(1),
0.75y - 0.64(100+y) = -12
0.75y - 64 -0.64y = -12
0.11y = -12 +64
y = 52 / 0.11
y = 472.7
y ≅ 473
The number of book sold is 473 books.
The total number of books is (100+473) = 573 books.
The answer is This answer and this answer is B
Answer:
I think it’s C I’m not sure I seen a question like this before
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 2/3x + 1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plug in the points:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2 - 0) / (1 + 2)
2 / 3
= 2/3
Then, plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:
y = mx + b
2 = 2/3(1) + b
2 = 2/3 + b
1 1/3 = b
Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b
y = 2/3x + 1 1/3 is the equation of the line
C. 10/x+8
The easy way to do it would be to take it one step at a time.
