60 days, I think. Sixty times zero point two is twelve.
Let's call the store value as s and the wholesale price as w. A store prices tapes by raising the wholesale price 50%(0.5 in decimals) and adding 25 cents, writing this as an equation, we have
If we invert the equation we're going to find the the wholesale price as a function of the store price.
Now, to find the wholesale price if the sales price is $1.99, we just need to evaluate s = 1.99 on the function we created.
The wholesale price is $1.16.
Answer:
30 CDs and 10 Videos were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a used book store also started selling used CDs and videos. In the first week, the store sold 40 used CDs and videos, at 4.00 per CD and 6.00 per video.
The sales for both CDs and videos totaled to 180.00.
Let CDs be x and Videos be y
Then we have x+y =3040
and 4x+6y = 180
Two simultaneous equations in two variables and can be solved by elimination method
multiply I equation by 4 and subtract from II.
2y = 20
y =10
x = 30
30 CDs and 10 Videos were sold.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The corresponding segments are proportional, so you can write any of several equations relating the different segment lengths. Here's one way:
top segment/bottom segment = x/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
Multiply by the product of denominators:
(x +1)x = (x +5)(x -2)
x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10 -x -x² to both sides of the equation
5 = x . . . . . divide by 2
