Answer and explanation:
Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)
John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:
P= 50x-(5x+80)
Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.
For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:
Substitute x=20 in equation above
P= 50×20-(5×20+80)
P=1000-180
P=$820
It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y.
x-y=44.38
x+y=196.12
Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to)
x=y+44.38
x=196.12-y
Set them equal to each other.
y+44.38=196.12-y
Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x.
x=120.24
y=75.86
Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
-1 / 7 = x
You need to combine the 2x and 5x then devise the 7x from -1
Answer:
Without tax the shoes would cost £55.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
To get this you take the £86 and multiply it by 0.65 because with the 35% sale you are paying for 65% of the item. You get this number by subtracting 35 from 100 and convert it into a decimal.
Answer:
Because they find it hard to pass in the past.
Step-by-step explanation:
Non-STEM majors detest taking algebraic courses at the collegiate level because based on their past experiences in high school, whereby they probably do not excel in algebra, numbers, or mathematical subjects in general, the thought of going through advanced numbers and equations can be overwhelming.
Nobody wants to have or at least start college with poor grades. Hence, because non-STEM students find algebraic courses hard to pass in the past, they detest taking the course that has to do with it at the college level.
