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

Answer:

  • Calculus texts: 600
  • History texts: 0
  • Marketing texts: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Each Calculus text returns $10/2 = $5 per unit of shelf space. For History and Marketing texts, the respective numbers are $4/1 = $4 per unit, and $8/4 = $2 per unit. Using 1200 units of shelf space for 600 Calculus texts returns ...

  $5/unit × 1200 units = $6000 . . . profit

Any other use of units of shelf space will reduce profit.
