Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:consecutive integers are represented by x, x+1 ,  so for this problem the greater one is represented by x + 1.

Now you need to translate the problem.  the greater is  seven less than 1/3 the smaller

--->  x + 1 = (1/3)*x - 7 --->  now solve for x (the smaller) and x+1  (the greater)

***hint:  to get rid of fractions in an equation you can always multiply EVERYTHING by the denominator , 3 in this case

A discount store takes 50% off of the retail price of a desk. For the store's holiday sale, it takes an additional 20% off of al
Serhud [2]

We are given the retail price of desk as $320. The store takes 50% off of the retail price of desk, then its price would become half of the original.

So its new price would be $160.

Now it says that it takes an additional 20% off of all furniture on store's holiday sale. So we need to cut off 20% from new price $160.

Holiday discount = 20% of $160 = 0.2 × 160 = 32.

Final selling price would be = $160 - $32 = $128.

So $128 is the final answer.

A gift shop sells 140 wind chimes per month at $90 each. The owners estimate that for each $5 increase in price, they will sell
guapka [62]

Answer: $95

Step-by-step explanation:

Te new price will be 90 + 5x, if the price increases "x" times

The number of wind chimes sold per month will become 140 - 7x

\begin{aligned}&\text {Revenue, } \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{x})=(90+5 \mathrm{x})(140-7 \mathrm{x}) \\&R^{\prime}(x)=5(140-7 x)-7(90+5 x) \\&R^{\prime}(x)=700-35 x-630-35 x \\&R^{\prime}(x)=70-70 x=0 \\&70 x=70 \\&x=1\end{aligned}

Therefore, if the price becomes (90 + 5(1)) = $95 per wind chime, then the revenue will be maximum
