5000*0.03+0.05x=275
Solve for x
X=2500
The answer is b
The constant of proportionality is 5/9
y= kx where k is the constant of proportionality
y = 5/9 x
k = 5/9
Answer:
378.5 or just 378
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by. When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)
The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.
Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.
If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:
y = 1.5(19) + 350
y = 378.5
Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>(a) $7.04
(b) 704/1599
(c) 0.44
(d) 14
(e) $98.56
(a) How much profit does Lucy earn when she sells a necklace?
Since the problem states that her profit is the sale price minus the cost of materials and labor, we have the following equation.
P = $15.99 - $3.38 - $5.57
P = $12.61 - $5.57
P = $7.04
So her profit is $7.04 per necklace.
(b) Write a fraction of the profit per sale price of the necklace. Record your answer as a fraction using whole numbers.
The raw fraction is 7.04/15.99, to get rid of the decimal point, multiply top and bottom by 100, getting 704/1599.
The prime factors of 704 are 2,2,2,2,2,2,11 and the prime factors of 1599 are 3,13,41. Since neither 704, nor 1599 share any common factors, the fraction can't be reduced and the final answer is 704/1599.
(c) What decimal of every dollar of the sale price of the necklace is profit using the fraction from Part (b)?
Pardon the lack of formatting
704/1599 = 0.4403
Rounded to the nearest hundredth gives 0.44
(d) Lucy collected $223.86 selling necklaces at a craft fair. How many necklaces did Lucy sell? Show your work.
This question is asking for total cost. So divide the $223.86 by the sale price of $15.99.
$223.86 / $15.99 = 14
14 necklaces were sold.
(e) How much profit did she earn from the number of necklaces she sold? Show your work.
Since we know from (a) that she has $7.04 profit per necklace, just multiply the amount of profit by the number sold. So
$7.04 * 14 = $98.56</span>
