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

6x^2 - 19x + 10 <br> Factor
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(2x-5)(3x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)When factoring quadratic equations in for ax²+bx+c you need to separate the b term in a way that the two addends you separate it by should equal a•c. Just do trial and error. In this case you should get -4 and -15. Your separated equation should be:

6x²-4x-15x+10

2)now factor out a common factor from the first two terms and one from the last two terms you should have:

2x(3x-2)-5(3x-2)

3)finally rewrite this equation into two separate factors and you have your answer.
