Answer:

24.58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial cost = $240

Final cost = $299

We need to find the percentage in his profit of the cost price.

Profit = Final cost - Initial cost

= $299 - $240

= $59

Percentage,

\%=\dfrac{59}{240}\times100\\\\=24.58\%

So, the required percentage is equal to 24.58%.

How would you go about finding the solution to this system of three equations in three variables? Be specific. For example, you
kupik [55]
I:2x – y + z = 7
II:x + 2y – 5z = -1
III:x – y = 6

you can first use III and substitute x or y to eliminate it in I and II (in this case x):
III: x=6+y
-> substitute x in I and II:
I': 2*(6+y)-y+z=7
12+2y-y+z=7
y+z=-5

II':(6+y)+2y-5z=-1
3y+6-5z=-1
3y-5z=-7

then you can subtract II' from 3*I' to eliminate y:
3*I'=3y+3z=-15

3*I'-II':
3y+3z-(3y-5z)=-15-(-7)
8z=-8
z=-1

insert z in II' to calculate y:
3y-5z=-7
3y+5=-7
3y=-12
y=-4

insert y into III to calculate x:
x-(-4)=6
x+4=6
x=2

so the solution is
x=2
y=-4
z=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=4, y=2. The given statement says ...

... -4 < -2 . . . . . a true statement.

Now, let's look at the answer choices.

... a. -4 < -2 . . . . true

... b. 2(4) < 2(2) . . . . false

... c. 4 +2 < 2 +2 . . . . false

Log(1+y) - log(1-y) = log x in 2 decimal places, express y in terms of x
GaryK [48]

Answer: y = \frac{x-1}{x+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

log(1+y) - log(1-y) = log x \\log\frac{1+y}{1-y} =log x\\x = \frac{1+y}{1-y}\\x(1-y)=1+y\\x-xy=1+y\\x-1 = xy+y\\y(x+1)=x-1\\y=\frac{x-1}{x+1}
