The students at Midtown Middle school sold flowers as a fundraiser in September and October. In October, they charged $1.50 for

each flower. The October price was a 20% increase of the September price. Part A: What was the price of the flowers in September? Part B: The seventh-grade class earned 40% of the selling price of each flower. In September, they sold 900 flowers. In October, they sold 700 flowers. Did they earn more money in September or October? How much more?

Let the price of flowers in September be x, then (100 + 20)/100 * x = $1.50
120/100 * x = $1.50
1.2x = $1.50
x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25
The price of flowers in September is $1.25

Total money realised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450

Total money realised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420

The class earned more money in September and they earned $30 more than in October.

Solve the following systems by substitution
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

                x = 5                       Equation l

                2x + y = 10              Equation ll

- Substitute Equation l in equation ll

               2(5) + y = 10

                y = 10 - 10

                y = 0

- Solution  (5, 0)

Question 2

                 x + 16y = 20          Equation l

                 x = 4y                    Equation ll

Substitute equation ll in equation l

                4y + 16y = 20

                        20y = 20

                           y = 20/20

                           y = 1

-Find x

                x = 4(1)

                x = 4

-Solution

                (4, 1)

Question 3

                   2x + 8y = 20            Equation l

                     x = 2                       Equation ll

-Substitute equation ll in equation l

                   2(2) + 8y = 20

                      4 + 8y = 20

                            8y = 20 - 4

                            8y = 16

                              y = 16/8

                              y = 2

- Solution

                   (2, 2)

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum for f (x )equals x cubed minus 2 x squared minus 4 x plus 2 on the interval 0 les
sineoko [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • maximum: 2
  • minimum: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The extrema will be at the ends of the interval or at a critical point within the interval.

The derivative of the function is ...

  f'(x) = 3x² -4x -4 = (x -2)(3x +2)

It is zero at x=-2/3 and at x=2. Only the latter critical point is in the interval. Since the leading coefficient of this cubic is positive, the right-most critical point is a local minimum. The coordinates of interest in this interval are ...

  f(0) = 2

  f(2) = ((2 -2)(2) -4)(2) +2 = -8 +2 = -6

  f(3) = ((3 -2)(3) -4)(3) +2 = -3 +2 = -1

The absolute maximum on the interval is f(0) = 2.

The absolute minimum on the interval is f(2) = -6.
