Explanation:

Markup is the name given to the difference between a cost price and a selling price:

  cost price + markup = selling price

Markdown is a name given to the difference between a list price or tag price and the actual selling price.

  list price - markdown = selling price

Markup and markdown are <em>actual currency amounts</em>. Often, sellers relate them to the cost price or the list price using percentages. That is, the percentage markup can be figured as ...

  percent markup = (markup)/(cost price) × 100%

Similarly, the markdown may be expressed as a percentage of the selling price:

  percent markdown = (markdown)/(selling price) × 100%

__

<em>Additional comments</em>

These representations as percentages are often used because a seller is usually interested in having a specific percentage return on money invested. By making the markup a specific percentage of the cost price, that return can be ensured.

Markdown percentages are often important to a buyer. They look for sales that offer a large percentage discount (markdown), sometimes not paying so much attention to the list price.

Answer:

Markup is how much to increase prices and markdown is how much to decrease prices. If we are given a markdown percentage, we multiply the percentage with the original price to find how much of a decrease we are getting, then we subtract this difference from the original price to find the marked down price.

Standard form means, move the variables to the left-hand-side and leave the constant all by herself on the right-hand-side, usually sorting the variables, so"x" goes first.

now, there's a denominator, we can do away with it, by simply multiplying both sides by the denominator, so let's do so,

\bf y=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+7\implies \boxed{3}\cdot y=\boxed{3}\cdot \left( -\cfrac{2}{3}x+7 \right)\implies 3y=-2x+21&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{standard~form}{2x+3y=21}

Figure 22: Find the total yellow area.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = l × h

= 9 × y

= 72

9 × y = 72

y = 72÷9

y = 8cm

area of circle = 50.27cm²

total area of the logo = 2(50.27) + 72

= 100.54 + 72

= 172.54cm²

What is the equation of the directrix of the parabola given by the equation y2 = -24x?
valentina_108 [34]

Hello!

The directrix of a parabola is a fixed line used in describing a curve or surface.

The standard form a parabola is 4p(x - h) = (y - k)². In this equation, h, k is the vertex, and p is the focal point.

To find the standard form, first, we would find p.

Since the equation given, y² = -24x, has a vertex at (0, 0), h, k would be zero. In this case, we can find p now.

4p = -24 (divide both sides by 4)

p = -6

4(-6)(x - 0) = (y - 0)² which can be simplified to: 4(-6)(x) = y².

Looking at the graph of the parabola, it is symmetric around the x-axis, so therefore, the directrix is a line parallel to the y-axis. To find the directrix, use the formula: x = 0 - p, and we know that p = -6.

x = 0 - (-6)

x = 6

Therefore, the directrix of the parabola is choice D, x = 6.
