Let 
be the most the manager can pay the suppliers.
Then, we know from the information given in the question that the manager needs a 30% markup based on cost.
Therefore, the guiding equation will be:
because $10 is the most people will pay for a neck warmer.
Thus, the above equation will become:
Thus, the most a manager can pay the suppliers for neck warmers and still keep the selling price at $10 is $7.69
Answer:
I think last year, the company's profit was 2.3 million $
Step-by-step explanation:
5.8 - 1.2 = 4.6
4.6 divided by 2 = 2.3
Answer:
x = -7 2/3, y = 1 1/3 and z = 5 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4y+3z=6 ..... 1
x-2y+z=-5 ...... 2
-x-3y-2z=-7 .......3
Add equations 2 and 3 to eliminate x:
-5y - z = -12 .....4
Multiply equation 2 by - 2:
-2x + 4y - 2z = 10
Add this to equation 1:
8y + z = 16 ........ 5
Now add equation 4 to equation 5:
3y = 4
y = 4/3 = 1 1/3.
Now find z by substituting for y in equation 4:
-5(4/3) - z = -12
z = 12 - 20/3
z = 36/3 - 20/3 = 16/3 = 5 1/3.
Finally, we find x by substituting for y and z in equation 1:
2x + 4*4/3 + 3*16/3 = 6
2x = 6 - 16/3 - 16
2x = 18/3 - 16/3 - 48/3 = -46/3
x = 23/3 = 7 2/3.
Answer:
A. 3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number equal x.
Set up the first half of the equation.
The sum of three times the number and 8 more than the number can be written as:
3x + (x+8)
Sum means that you add the components.
Set up the second half of the equation.
The difference between -22 and twice the number can be written as:
-22 - 2x
Difference means subtraction, and because -22 is written first, that is the number that you subtract <em>from</em>.
If you set the halves of the equation equal, you get:
3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Therefore, the answer is A.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall a linear function, is a line on a graph made up of an infinite amount of points which satisfy the relationship. That means at x=3 there is a specific point on the line with an output. The value of a function at x=3 asks, what is the output y value for the input x value?
To find it, we locate 3 on the x-axis. We draw a vertical line directly to the line following the grid line. We mark the point on the line. We then draw a horizontal line directly to the y-axis following the grid line. The point we hit on the y-axis is the value of the function.
Here it is 4.
