Answer:

54.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Cost price= $15

Selling price= $33

Mark up percent =????

%markup= selling-cost/selling*100

substitute

%markup= 33-15/33*100

%markup= 18/33*100

%markup=0.545*100

%markup= 54.5%

Hence the Percent markup is 54.5%

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

What is the value of x in the proportion below? 8/72 = x/36

barxatty [35]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

8/72 = x/36

crossmultiply

8 x 36 = X x 72

288 = 72x

divide both sides by 72

288/72 = x

therefore , x = 4

A 6 inch personal pizza has 650 calories, with 240 of those from fat. A 14 inch pizza is cut into 8 slices. Estimate the number

professor190 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Number of calories in one slice of a 14 inch pizza is 189.825. </em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given that 6 inch pizza has <em>650 calories. </em>

Therefore 1 inch pizza has $\frac{650}{6}$ <em>calories. </em>

14 inch pizza will have

$\frac{650}{6} \times 14=216.67 \times 14=1516.66 \ calories$

Given that the 14 inch pizza is divided into 8 slices.

Therefore each slice of the 14 inch pizza will have

<em> $\frac {1516.66}{8} =189.825 calories$ </em>
