A store prices tapes by raising the wholesale price 50% and adding 25 cents .What must a tape's wholesale price be if the tape s

Andre45 [30]

Let's call the store value as s and the wholesale price as w. A store prices tapes by raising the wholesale price 50%(0.5 in decimals) and adding 25 cents, writing this as an equation, we have

$s(w)=w+0.5w+0.25$

If we invert the equation we're going to find the the wholesale price as a function of the store price.

$\begin{gathered} s=w+0.5w+0.25 \\ s=1.5w+0.25 \\ s-0.25=1.5w \\ w(s)=\frac{s-0.25}{1.5} \end{gathered}$

Now, to find the wholesale price if the sales price is $1.99, we just need to evaluate s = 1.99 on the function we created.

$w(1.99)=\frac{1.99-0.25}{1.5}=1.16$

The wholesale price is $1.16.

To reflect over the y axis, the formula is (-x, y). For W, which currently is (-6, -4), the -6 becomes -(-6), which is the same as 6, so the answer is (6, -4).

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

73.68%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of increase subtract 33-19 to get 14.

The percent increase is the amount of increase/initial length * 100

So 14/19*100 = 73.684...

Rounding to the nearest hundredth = 73.68%
