Answer:
The Answer is b, as the X value does not repeat.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Given that <span>the mattress is sold for 50% off of the retail price, let the retail price of the mattress be x, then
50% of x = 1200
⇒ 0.5x = 1200
⇒ x = 1200 / 0.5 = 2400
Therefore, </span><span>the retail price of the mattress, before the discount is $2,400.
Part B:
Given that </span><span>the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale price. Let the whole sale price be p, then
(100% + 150%) of p = 2400
250% of p = 2400
2.5p = 2400
p = 2400 / 2.5 = 960.
Therefore, </span><span>the wholesale price, before the markup was $960</span>
The equation of a line that passes through (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
find slope
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(-3,2) and (2,1)
slope=(1-2)/(2-(-3))=(-1)/(2+5)=-1/5
pikc a point
if we pick (-3,2)
(x1,y1)
x1=-3
y1=2
y-2=-1/5(x-(-3))
y-2=-1/5(x+3)
that is D
For the first question, the answer is A. You take 90 and multiply it by 3, then you get the time that it takes for one worker to mow the large park.
For the second question, you take 50 = k/0.25. To find k, you would want to multiply both sides with 0.25 to cancel the 0.25 on k's side. 50 times 0.25 is 12.5. I think C is your answer although I'm not really confident.
