Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be represented by x.

1. \frac{1}{4} of x = x - 128

\frac{x}{4} = x - 128

x - \frac{x}{4} = 128

4x - x = 4 x 128

3x = 512

x = \frac{512}{3}

  = 170.67

x = 170.67

The original price is $170.67.

2. If the price of the music player was marked up by ½ of its original price, its new price would be;

170.67 + (170.67 x ½)   = 170.67 +85.335

                                     = 256.005

                                     ≅ $ 256.0

The price paid by the store for the music player is still the original price i.e $170.67.

3. The difference between the discounted price and the price paid by the store can be determined by;

price paid by the store - the discounted price of the music player

= $170.67 - $128

= $42.67

It x, y, and z are positive intergers and 3x = 4y = 7z, then the least possible value of x + y + z is???
Dmitry [639]

3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y)  = 0\end{cases}  \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z =  \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61

Lucy took out a $15,000 to buy her new car. The bank charged her 8% simple interest rate for the term of 5 years. What is the en
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

<h2>$21000</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on simple interest calcultion

A=P(1+r*n)

 where

A=accumulated amount (final)

P= principal amount (initial), $15,000

r=interest written as decimal, 8% = 8/100= 0.08

n=number of years, 5years

Substituting into the expression we have

A=15000(1+0.08*5)

A= 15000(1+0.4)

A=15000(1.4)

A=$21000

<h2>Hence the ending balance that lucy would pay is $21000</h2>
