Answer:

Original price= $3,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $2,816

Discount rate= 12% = 0.12

<u>To calculate the original price, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Original price= purchase price / (1 - discount rate)

Original price= 2,816 / 0.88

Original price= $3,200

Rewrite using a single positive exponent
Korolek [52]

Answer:

9³

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of \dfrac{9^5}{9^2}.

We know that,

\dfrac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

Here, a = 5 and b = 2.

So,

\dfrac{9^5}{9^2}=9^{5-2}\\\\=9^3

So, the answer to the given expression is 9³.

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

x\ge 2y

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes =\dfrac{3}{10} hour, then he can make y arrangements in \dfrac{3}{10}y hours.

A florist can make  a simple arrangement in 10 minutes =\dfrac{1}{6} hour, so he can make x arrangements in \dfrac{1}{6}x hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines x=2y and \dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40

But this point has not integer coordinates. The nearest point with two integer coordinates is (126,63), then the maximum profit is

\$(10\cdot 126+25\cdot 63)=\$2,835
