Answer: #444

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the original selling price of the article.

When sold for #372 the profit was 24%. Assume the original price is x.

372 = x + 24% * x

372 = 1.24x

x = 372 / 1.24

= #300

If he wanted to make a profit of 48% he should have sold for:

= Original price + (original price * 48%)

= 300 + (300 * 48%)

= #444

I need help on this???

Aliun [14]

Use the geometric mean for right triangles here. Like this $\frac{9}{y}= \frac{y}{7}$ . Cross multiply to get $y^{2}=63$ , and $y= \sqrt{63}$ . That simplifies down to $y= \sqrt{9*7}$ . Pull out the 9 as a perfect square of 3 and you're left with $y=3 \sqrt{7}$ , first choice above.

the perimeter of a rectangular painting is 356 centimeters. if the length of the painting is 96 centimeters, what is its width.

sladkih [1.3K]

P = 2(l + w)
p = 356
l = 96

356 = 2(96 + w)
356 = 192 + 2w
356 - 192 = 2w
164 = 2w
164/2 = w
82 = w

check....
p = 2(l + w)
356 = 2(96 + 82)
356 = 2(178)
356 = 356 (correct)

so the width (w) = 82 cm

Which is a y-intercept of the continuous function in the table? х – 4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 f(x) -10 0 0 – 4 -6 0 2 O (0,6) O (-2, 0) O (

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x:-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1

f(x):-10,0,0,-4,-6,0

from the table we can see when x=0, y=-6

Therefore the y-intercept will be (0,-6)
