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>
Answer:
B) >
Step-by-step explanation:
You can compare fractions by converting them into a decimal and examining which one has the greater value.
3/4 = 0.75
3/5 = 0.6
From this, we can see that 3/4 is greater than 3/5, so the sign will be >.
----
note: You can also find the least common denomiator between the fractions and compare their numerator values to find which one is bigger. The one with the larger numerator will be the greater fraction.
hope this helps!
Answer:
D. right 4, down 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual transformations applied to functions are ...
f(x) ⇒ f(x -h) . . . . translation right h units
f(x) ⇒ f(x) +k . . . . translation up k units
f(x) ⇒ k·f(x) . . . . . vertical scaling by a factor of k; reflection over x-axis when k < 0
f(x) ⇒ f(x/k) . . . . . horizontal scaling by a factor of k; reflection over y-axis when k < 0
In the above, "scaling" will be expansion when |k| > 1, compression when |k| < 1.
__
Your transformation is ...
x^2 ⇒ (x -4)^2 -8
f(x) ⇒ f(x -4) -8
This is translation with h=4 and k=-8. That is, it is translation right 4 units and down 8 units.

Like much of math, it is all about matching patterns.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
15-8 =7 as LHS is 7 so RHS must also be 7 so at RHS 6+1 =7
