Answer:

B. GHC 50.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The percentage by which damaged items are marked down = 25% to 40%

The percentage markdown offered by the newspaper coupon = 10%

The original marked price of the item = GHC 100

We note that a markdown is the difference between the price an item is placed at for retail sale, and the actual price the item is sold

Given that the item is damaged, to have the lowest price, we apply the largest markdown of 40% as follows;

Price of item marked down due to damage, we remove 40% from the price to get;

The markdown due to damage = 40/100 × GHC 100 = GHC 40

The markdown the coupon holder is to get = 10% of the retail price

Given that the damage is not mentioned in the newspaper, we have;

∴ The markdown the coupon holder is to get = 10/100 × GHC 100 = GHC 10

The total markdown is therefore equal to GHC 40 + GHC 10 = GHC 50

Therefore;

The lowest price of the item = Original price - Maximum markdown

The lowest price of the item = GHC 100 - GHC 50 = GHC 50

The solutions of x^2= 16x-28
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Simplifying

x2 = 16x + -28

Reorder the terms:

x2 = -28 + 16x

Solving

x2 = -28 + 16x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:

28 + -16x + x2 = -28 + 16x + 28 + -16x

Reorder the terms:

28 + -16x + x2 = -28 + 28 + 16x + -16x

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0

28 + -16x + x2 = 0 + 16x + -16x

28 + -16x + x2 = 16x + -16x

Combine like terms: 16x + -16x = 0

28 + -16x + x2 = 0

Factor a trinomial.

(2 + -1x)(14 + -1x) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

2 + -1x = 0

Solving

2 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.

2 + -2 + -1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + -2

-1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2

-1x = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 2

Simplifying

x = 2

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(14 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

14 + -1x = 0

Solving

14 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-14' to each side of the equation.

14 + -14 + -1x = 0 + -14

Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + -14

-1x = 0 + -14

Combine like terms: 0 + -14 = -14

-1x = -14

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 14

Simplifying

x = 14

Solution

x = {2, 14}

I want to install carpet in my living room, which is 200 inches long and 50 ft wide. The carpet is sold for 5000 naira per yard2
inn [45]

Answer:

462962.96 naira

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is complicated by the use of two different units.  I chose to use inches for the dimensions of the carpet.

200 in long

50 ft wide = 50 x 12 = 600 in.

Area = 200 x 600 = 120000 in^2

A square yard is a square 36 in. x 36 in. = 1296 in^2

Divide 120000 by 1296 to find out how many square yards of carpet you'll need.

120000 / 1296 = 92.59

Multiply by 5000 naira/yd^2 = 462962.96
