Fred buys flags from a manufacturer for f dollars each and then sells the flags in his store for a 26%markup.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

the markup is 1.26 (the amount added is .26)

1.26x (when x is the price Fred buys them for from the manufacturer)

1.26(40)

$50.40 is the retail price

50.4-40

$10.40 is the markup

Step-by-step explanation:

The 26% markup means that he is selling the flags 26% above the cost.

So, the cost would represent 100%, which is 1, and 26% of markup in decimal number is 0.26.

The price including the markup would be 1.26 as decimal or 126% as percentage.

The problem states that the cost is unknown, so we represent that with a variable x. The retail price would be 1.26x, which is 126% per flag.

Finally, if Fred paid $40 per flag, the actual retail price would be:

1.26($40)=$50.40.

With $10.40 of markup.

Agent Bond is standing on a bridge, 13.5 m above the road below, and his pursuers are getting too close for comfort. He spots a
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eek!  Let's give this a go. Things we know:

acceleration of Bond in free fall is -9.8 m/s/s

velocity of the truck is 25 m/s

displacement Bond will travel when he jumps is -10 m

What we are looking for is the time it will take him to hit the top of the truck, knowing that the truck can travel from one pole to the next in 1 second.

Our displacement equation is

Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²

Filling in we have

-10=25t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2

Simplifying we get

-10=25t-4.9t^2

This is a quadratic that needs to be solved however you personally solve quadratics.  When you do that, you find that the times it will take Bond to drop that displacement is either -.37 seconds or 5.47 seconds.  Many things in physics can be negative, like velocity and acceleration, but time NEVER will be.  So it takes Bond 5.5 seconds to drop to the roof of the moving truck.  That means that he needs to jump when the truck is between the 5th and the 6th poles away from him.

Good luck with this!

Cheers!

Let f(x) = 1/x . Find the number b such that the average rate of change of f on the interval [2, b] is − 1/8
vekshin1

Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the function f(x)=1/x. We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).

f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2

So, we have the point (2, 1/2)

At point b, f(b) = 1/b.

Let's plug this into the slope formula:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{.5-\frac{1}{b} }{2-b}  =-1/8

Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).

\frac{.5b-1}{2b-b^2} =\frac{-1}{8}

Now, cross multiply.

4b-8=b^2-2b

b^2-6b+8=0

Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.

=(b-4)(b-2)=0

Thus, b=4 or b=2.

However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.

A kangaroo hops 2 kilometers in 3 minutes. At this rate:
nikitadnepr [17]
It takes 7 minutes and 30 seconds to travel 5 kilometers because first you divide 3 and 2 to figure out how many minutes is 1 kilometer and you get 1.5 then you multiply 5 and 1.5 to get the minutes of 5 kilometers. Also the kangaroo travels 1.3 kilometers in 2 minutes
