Answer:

556, 558, and 560

Step-by-step explanation:

1674/3 = 558 (An even number, yay)

So 558 + 558 + 558 = 1674

Subtract two from the first one and add two to the last (still equal)

556 + 558 + 560

adding them equals 1674 so the answer is

556, 558, and 560

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

$19,153.26.

Explanation:

She will receive 42% of her average annual salary. This salary was $45,603.

To find 42% of a number, we first convert the percent to a decimal: 42% = 42/100 = 0.42.

Next we multiply this by the number we're taking the percent of:

0.42(45603) = 19153.26.

Jim sells used drones for 70% of the original manufacturer's purchase price of a new drone. Jim also sells new drones for 15% mo

adell [148]

The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x

He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a used drone is:

$\mathbf{Used = 70\% \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7 \times x}$

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7x}$

Also, he sells new drones at 15% more of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a new drone is:

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 15\%) \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 0.15) \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15 \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15x}$

The amount saved is the difference between the prices of the drones.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Saved =New - Old}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Saved =1.15x- 0.7x}$

Subtract

$\mathbf{Saved =0.45x}$

Express as a function

$\mathbf{f(x) = 0.45x}$

Hence, the function for the amount saved is f(x) = 0.45x
