Answer: $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of watermelon = $1.25

Profit percent = 20%

Profit = Profit percent × Cost price

= 20% × $1.25

= 20/100 × $1.25

= 0.2 × $1.25

= $0.25

Selling price = Cost price + Profit

Selling price = $1.25 + $0.25

Selling price = $1.50

They should charge $1.50 for the watermelons

A rugby team played six games.

Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

mean score means the sum of all 6 scores divided by the number of games : 6.

sum6 = 15×6 = 90

(sum6 + x)/7 = 16

sum6 + x = 16×7 = 112

90 + x = 112

x = 22

they scored 22 points in the 7th game.

What is the sum of the polynomials?

Nadya [2.5K]

For this case we have the following polynomials:

$-x ^ 2 + 9\\-3x ^ 2 - 11x + 4$

Adding the polynomials we have:

$(-x ^ 2 + 9) + (-3x ^ 2 - 11x + 4)$

Rewriting we have:

$x ^ 2 (-1-3) - 11x + (9 + 4)$

Therefore, the result of the sum is:

$-4x ^ 2 - 11x + 13$

Answer:

the sum of the polynomials is:

$-4x ^ 2 - 11x + 13$

Need answer to this math problem

Elis [28]

The slope of this line is the difference of the y values divided by the difference of the x values. Solving this give 4/-3. Then, you already know the b in y = mx+b, which is 2, because you already have the value (0, 2). So, the answer is y = $-\frac{4}{3}$ x + 2
