A storekeeper increased the price of hats by 5%. Write an equation to calculate the increase of the total cost, c, when the pric

e of a hat is p dollars.
Mathematics

Naddik [55]3 years ago

Answer:

c = 1.05p

Step-by-step explanation:

the price of the hat before the increase was 100%, after the increase it becomes 100 + 5% = 105%. Representing it as a decimal becomes 1.05p

Let illustrate with an example.

The price of a hat was $100, after the 5% increase. the cost of the hat becomes

100 + (0.05 x 100) = 105

To find the percentage increase

divide 105 by 100 and subtract 1

(105/100) - 1 = 1.05

PLZ HELP, DUE TONIGHT!! Find the values of a and b such that f(x) is continuous at x=1
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

  • a = 2, b = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To make the given piecewise function continuous we need:</u>

  • ax² - b = 6 and 5ax + b = 6 at x = 1

<u>It gives us the system:</u>

  • a(1²) - b = 6 ⇒ a - b = 6
  • 5a(1) + b = 6 ⇒ 5a + b = 6

<u>Sum of the two:</u>

  • a - b + 5a + b = 6 + 6
  • 6a = 12
  • a = 2

<u>Then b is:</u>

  • 2 - b = 6
  • b = -4

A 400-milliliter solution of a fabric dye contains 8 ml of hydrogen peroxide. What is the percent concentration of the hydrogen
just olya [345]

Answer:

Okay so all you need to know is the percentage of the hydrogen peroxide.
We know that the total solution is 400 ml and the hydrogen peroxide solution is 8ml.
8/400

Percent means out of a hundred, this can go multiple ways.

<u>Way #1, benchmarking.</u>

So 8/400 simplified is 1/50 or 2/100.
1/50 is basically 2/100.

And percent means out of a hundred so 2/100 is basically 2percent.

<u>Way #2, proportions</u>

We want to know the percentage of hydrogen/ fabric dye

If you put it in numbers int he same fraction and put “x” as the unknown 8ml hydrogen peroxide solution you’d get.

8/400 = x/100
X/100 because percent means out of a hundred.
Now solve3

Cross multiply,

800 = 400x
divide 400 on both sides

2=x

Now plug it back in the proportion.

8/400 = 2/100

If you simplify to check if they are equal then it’s correct
