Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[math]

U_{n} = 5n - 2 \\

Common Difference = U_{n+1} - U_{n} \\

= [5(n + 1) - 2] - [5n - 2] = [5n + 5 - 2] - [5n - 2]\\

= 5n + 5 - 2 - 5n + 2\\

= 5

A man bought a lot for 1200 and sold it for 1500. his percent of gain based on his purchase was

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: The percent gain was 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Cost price of lot = $1,200

Selling price of lot = $1,500

The percent gain = $\dfrac{\text{selling price- cost price}}{\text{cost price}}\times100$

⇒ Percent gain = $\dfrac{1500-1200}{1200}\times100\%$

$\Rightarrow\text{ Percent gain}=\dfrac{300}{1200}\times100\%\\\\\Rightarrow\text{ Percent gain}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times100\%\\\\\Rightarrow\text{ Percent gain}=25\%$

Hence, the percent gain was 25% based on his purchase.

You normally pay your line cooks $22 per hour, but one has worked overtime and should be paid time and a half. What is

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

$33 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

"Time and a half" means the overtime rate is 1 1/2 times the base rate.

overtime rate = (1 1/2) × $22/hour = $(22 +1/2(22))/hour = $33/hour

The correct overtime rate is $33 per hour.

A line passes through the point (-8, 7) and has a slope of negative 3/4Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We do not have enough information for slope intercept form. But we can use the point-slope formula to find the information. The formula is $y -y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})$ where we substitute a point (x,y) for $(x_{1},y_{1})$ .

We have m=-3/4 and (-8, 7). We input m and $x_{1} =-8\\y_{1}=7$ .

$y-7=-\frac{3}{4} (x-(-8))\\y-7=-\frac{3}{4} (x+8)$

We now simplify the parenthesis and solve for y.

$y-7=-\frac{3}{4} (x+8)\\y-7=-\frac{3}{4}x+-\frac{3}{4} (8)$

We convert 8 into a fraction with 1 as the denoinator.

$y-7=-\frac{3}{4}x+-\frac{3}{4} (\frac{8}{1} )\\y-7=-\frac{3}{4}x+-\frac{24}{4}\\y-7=-\frac{3}{4}x+-6$

We add 7 to both sides to isolate y,

$y-7+7=-\frac{3}{4}x+-6+7\\y=-\frac{3}{4}x+1$

This is slope intercept form. The line as slope -3/4 and y-intercept (0,1) or b=1.
