Answer:

so the price for 1 mug was $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

initial price will be  P

Then the lower price is

x - 1.75

If 5 mugs cost $28.20 then we have to write an equation in order to find the price for 1 mug.

(P - 1.75)*5 = 28.20

P - 1.75 = 28.20/5

P - 1.75 = 5.64

P = 1.75 + 5.64

P = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

Hope that helps... :)

Answer:

  • $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x

<u>Then the reduced price is </u>

  • x - 1.75

<u>If 5 mugs cost $28.20, we have equation:</u>

  • (x - 1.75)*5 = 28.20
  • x - 1.75 = 28.20/5
  • x - 1.75 = 5.64
  • x = 1.75 + 5.64
  • x = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

Nathan has a collection of 220 baseball cards. He lets his brother 1/4 of his collection and sells 20% of his collection to the
tatyana61 [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

The baseball cards remain in Nathan’s collection is 106 cards

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total number of cards Nathan has= 220

Number of cards he let his brother have = 1/4 of his collection

=\frac{1}{4} \times 220 = 55 cards

Number of cards he sells = 20% of his collection

=\frac{20}{100} \times 220

=44 cards

No of cards he gives to his friends=15 cards

Remaining cards = total number of cards – (no of cards he gave to his brother+ cards he sold+ cards he gave to this friends)

= 220 – ( 55+44+15)

=220-114

=106 cards

baseball cards remain in Nathan’s collection is 106 cards

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).
Vesna [10]
Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation.  We already have an x and y value.  The derivative is found this way:  y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2} so  y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}.  The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation.  Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}.  So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3.  Use these values to solve for b.  1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b  so b = 2.  The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2
