Answer:

12 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the board = 48 in

It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length

This means, there will be 3 cut to have 4 pieces

Each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in.

Total waste = 3 cut × 3/16 in

= (3*3)/16

= 9/16 in

Length of board remaining = Total length of the board - Total waste

= 48 - 9/16

= (768-9)/16

= 759/16 in

How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?

Length of each piece after the cut = Length of board remaining / 4

= 759/16 ÷ 4

= 759/16 × 1/4

= 759/64

= 11.859375

Approximately 12 pieces to the nearest whole number

Abby Matthew store manager for Sears does not know how to price a refrigerator that cost $900 Abby knows her boss wants a 40% ma
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The 40% marked up price of refrigerator is  $1260.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost price of the refrigerator  = $900

Now, the mark up should be 40%

Calculating the markup on the cost price , we get

40 % of $900  =  \frac{40}{100}  \times 900 = 360

or, 40 % mark up = $360

Now, the Marked up cost = Cost Price + Marked up Price

                                          = $900 + $360 = $1260

Hence, the 40% marked up price of refrigerator is $1260.

A(n)=a(1)+d(n-1),    d=a(16)-a(15)=-5-(-53)=48
a(15)=a(1)+d*(15-1),  
-53=a(1)+48*(15-1),
a(1)=-53-48*14= -725
a(n)=-725+48(n-1)
