Answer:

a = 9, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function is

y = a $b^{x}$

Find a and b by using the points it passes through

Using (0, 9 ) then

9 = a $b^{0}$ ( $b^{0}$ = 1 )

a = 9

y = 9 $b^{x}$

Using (3, 243 ) then

243 = 9b³ ( divide both sides by 9 )

27 = b³ ( take the cube root of both sides )

b = $\sqrt[3]{27}$ = 3

y = 9 $(3)^{x}$ ← exponential equation

Answer: x = 2.65, y = 3.81

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC similar to PQR

1) Find the ratio of corresponding sides

2) Use that ratio to find values for x & y

1) Side AB = 2.76cm & Side PR = y cm

Side BC = x cm & Side RQ = 3.66 cm

Side CA = 3 cm & Side QP = 4.14 cm (both lengths given)

Can match 3 to 4.14 & ratio of sides in ABC to PQR= 3 /4.14

Length of sides ABC = 3/4.14 times the length of sides PQR

2) x = (3 / 4.14) * 3.66 = 2.65

Now solve for y, ABC to PQR: 2.76 = (3 / 4.14) (y )

equality property (both sides) & inverse operation to isolate y : . 2.76 ÷ (3 / 4.14) = (3 / 4.14 ) ÷ (3 / 4.14) (y)

2.76 * (4.14 / 3) = 3 / 4.14 * (4.14 / 3) (y)

(2.76 * 1.38 ) = 3.81 = y

Kabul’s bookshop marks up all books by 40 percent of their cost. The overhead rate is 16 percent of the selling price. What is t

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The net profit rate on the book is 5.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The marks up percentage of book = m = 40%

The overhead rate is 16% of selling price

The cost price of book = c.p = $18.10

Let The profit = $p

Let The selling price = s.p

Now, According to question

mark up percentage = $\dfrac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$

I.e 40% = $\dfrac{s.p - 18.10}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{40}{100}$ + 1 = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{140}{100}$ = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, s. p = $\dfrac{140\times 18.10}{100}$

∴ s.p = $25.34

So, selling price of book = s.p = $25.34

Now, The overhead percentage = 16%

i.e overhead rate = $\dfrac{\textrm estimated cost}{\textrm estimated total base unit}$

Or, estimated cost = 16% × 25.34

I,e estimated cost = 0.16 × 25.34

∴ estimated cost = $4.05

Now,

Profit = selling price of book - estimated book cost

I.e p = $25.34 - $4.05

∴ p = $21.29

So, The profit rate% = $\dfrac{\textrm profit}{\textrm estimated cost}$

I.e The profit rate% = $\dfrac{21.29}{4.05}$

∴ profit rate %= 5.41

So, The profit rate = p = 5.41

Hence, The net profit rate on the book is 5.41 Answer
