A 15% percent markup means that the typewriter cost was increased by 15%, or 0.15 by moving the decimal 2 places to the left. If the original price was x, and 15% of it is 0.15*x, we can add them up to get 1.15*x=129.95. Dividing both sides by 1.15, we get x=113 dollars

Sale price=129.95
Mark up=15%
x=at cost price to ABC
Set up proportion:
129.95 x
--------- = ---------- (Got 1 from 100% which is the cost to ABC and 1.15 from 100%
1.15 1 +15% which is the cost to customer then changed to
decimal form.) Cross multiply
129.95=1.15x
129.95/1.15=1.15x/1.15
113=x
Cost to ABC is $113

If LR = 12 and PR = 4, find LP. Explain.
Softa [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

LP = 8 because LR + PR = LP according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and 8 + 4 = 12 using substitution

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

From this problem, we know that:

LR = 12

PR = 4

So here we have a Line segment. Recall that a line segment has two endpoints, places where they end or stop and they are named after their endpoints, so the line segment here is LR whose measure is 12. Then, according to Segment Addition Postulate it is true that:

LP + PR = LR

By substituting LR = 12 and PR = 4, we have:

LP + 4 = 12

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

LP + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

LP + 0 = 8

Finally:

LP = 8

What is the maximum area for a rectangle whose perimeter is 48 meters?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

12m²

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle, with length L and width W,

the perimeter is given as

Perimeter,

P = (2 x Length)  + (2 x Width)

P = 2L + 2W

It is given that the perimeter is 48, hence

48 = 2L + 2W   (divide both sides by 2)

24 = L + W

or

L = 24 - W -----> eq 1

Also realize that the Area of a Rectangle is given by

A = L x W  -----> eq 2

Substituting eq 1 into eq 2,

A = (24 - W) x W

A = -W² + 24W

Recall that for a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, the maxima or minima is given by y(max) =  -b/2a

In this case, b = 24 and a = -1

-b/2a = -24/[ 2(-1) ] = 12

Hence for A to be maximum A(max) = 12m² (Answer)

What is the slope-intercept form for (1,6) and (2,5)
patriot [66]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-6=-1(x-1) \\\\\\ y-6=-x+1\implies y=-x+7

Find the missing length indicated​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

The three triangles are similar.

144/y = y/81

y^2 = 144 * 81

y = 12 * 9

y = 108

81^ + 108^2 = x^2

x^2 = 18225

x = 135
