a total profit of $78. Using the equation 8 (x + 2.75) = 78, Rita determined that she needs to sell each necklace for $7 to make a total profit of $78. Which error did Rita make?
Although she has the correct equation, she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
Although she has the correct solution, she should have used the equation 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78.
The equation should be 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
The equation should be StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $75.25.

Answer:

  The equation should be 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contribution margin of each necklace is the difference between its selling price (x) and its cost (2.75). Then the total profit from 8 necklaces would be ...

  8(x -2.75)

If Rita wants that profit to be $78, then she needs to solve the equation ...

  8(x -2.75) = 78 . . . . correct equation

The solution is ...

  x -2.75 = 9.75 . . . . divide by 8

  x = 12.50 . . . . . . . . add 2.75

She needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.

A. A car is marked down by 20%. It normally sells for $20,000. What is the sale
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

A=16000  B=16400

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  You multiply 20,000 by .2 or 20%, because you are trying to find a part of the 20,000.

2. You get 4,000 dollars, that is 20% of 20,000. To find the sale price, you take the 20% away from 20,000, which would be 16,000 dollars. That would be your answer for the first part.

3. the sales tax is 2.5% of the sale price. Again, you multiply 16,000 dollars, your sales price, by .025 or 2.5%.

4. you would get 400 dollars. You add the 2.5% or 400 dollars because you have to pay the tax as well as the price. You would get 16,400 dollars.

Write the formula for the parabola that has x- intercepts (3,0) and (8,0), and y- intercept (0,−2)
alexira [117]

Answer:x^2-5x=-12(y+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Parabola has x-intercept has (3,0) and (8,0)

and Y-intercept as (0,-2)

Now the general equation of parabola is

y=ax^2+bx+c\quad \ldots(i)

Substitute  (0,-2) in (i) we get

-2=c

Now substitute (3,0) in equation (i)

0=a(3)^2+3b-2\quad \ldots(ii)

Now substitute (8,0) in equation (i)

0=a(8)^2+8b-2\quad \ldots(iii)

Solving (ii) and (iii) we get

a=\frac{-1}{12}\ \text{and}\ b=\frac{5}{12}

therefore

y=\frac{-x^2}{12}+\frac{5x}{12}-2

12y=-x^2+5x-24

The simplification of the polynomial expression will give 3x² - 20x + 8.

<h3>How to illustrate the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial expression is given as:

(5x² + 13x4) (17x² + 7x - 19) + (5x-7)(3x + 1)

= 5x² + 13x - 4 - 17x² - 7x + 19 + 15x² + 5x - 21x - 7

Then collect like terms

= 5x² + 15x² - 17x² + (13x - 7x + 5x - 21x) - 4 - 7 + 19

= 3x² - 20x + 8.
