Answer:

11,500

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of a book (CP) = 10000

profit percent = 15%

selling price of a book (SP) = ?

SP = CP + profit% of CP

=10000 + 15 / 100 * 10000

=1000000 + 150000/100

=1150000/100

=11500

Therefore, the book will cost 11,500

Here,
We have,
Cost price of a book (CP) = N10,000
Profit percent (p%)= 15%
Now,
Using profit percent formula we get,
P% = (Sp-Cp)/ Cp*100
15 = (Sp-10,000)/10,000*100.
15*10000=100Sp-1000000
150000+1000000=100Sp
1150000/100=Sp
Sp=11500

Hence,
A book should be sold at 11500

Emily wants to know the volume of a beach ball. She deduces that the beach ball has diameter of 12 inches, and then uses the fol

Over [174]

Answer:

D. She used the beach's ball's diameter when she should have used the radius

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the beach ball, using the volume of a sphere is the right formula to use, which is ⁴/3πr³.

The formula she used is correct.

Since the diameter of the ball is assumed to be 12 inches, what is needed to find the volume is the radius.

Radius (r) = ½(diameter) = ½(12) = 6 in.

This is where Emily made a mistake.

She used the diameter of the beach ball instead of its radius (r) which is needed in the equation.

She should have gotten,

V = ⁴/3(3.14)(6)² = 904.32 cubic inches

Algebra I

Terms/Coefficients
Coordinates (x, y)
Solving systems of equations of using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

7x - y = 7

x + 2y = 6

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

Equation: x + 2y = 6

[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2y on both sides: x = 6 - 2y

Step 3: Redefine Systems

7x - y = 7

x = 6 - 2y

Step 4: Solve for y

Substitution

Substitute in x: 7(6 - 2y) - y = 7
Distribute 7: 42 - 14y - y = 7
Combine like terms: 42 - 15y = 7
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 42 on both sides: -15y = -35
[Division Property of Equality] Divide -15 on both sides: y = 7/3

Step 5: Solve for x

Define original equation: x + 2y = 6
Substitute in y: x + 2(7/3) = 6
Multiply: x + 14/3 = 6
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 14/3 on both sides: x = 4/3

What is (-10,8) in point- slope form?

nata0808 [166]

There can't be a point-slope form until you have TWO points.
A single point doesn't have any other form.
There are an infinite number of lines that all go through a single point.
Every one of them has a different slope, and a different point-slope form.
