Answer:

$1080

Data given:

selling price (SP): $1209.60

percentage profit: 12%

To calculate out percentage profit

profit% = gain/cost price × 100

gain = selling price - cost price

hence we have:

(1209.60 - cost price)/cost price ×100 = 12

when we cross multiply

we have 12costprice = (1209.60×100)-(100×cost price)

12CP=120960-100CP

collect like terms

12CP+100CP = 120960

112CP=120960

divide both sides by the coefficient of CP

CP = $1080

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 2 1/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

It will travel

33 \frac{1}{4}  \: miles

in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using proportions.

\frac{ 2\frac{1}{2} \: miles}{ 3\frac{1}{3} \: minutes}  =  \frac{x}{45 \: minutes} \\  \\  \frac{ 3\frac{1}{3} x}{ 3\frac{1}{3} }  =   \frac{ 112\frac{1}{2} }{ 3\frac{1}{3} }    \\  \\  x = 33\frac{3}{4}

(b) Paul uses the function y = 8x + 40 to model the situation. What score does the model predict for 3 h of homework? WILL MARK
Bess [88]
Assuming that x is the amount of hours spent doing homework:

Plug in 3 for x

y = 8(3)+40, y=64

That means that since a y value is the test score (because that's what the y-axis is labeled), your predicted test score is a 64.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (6,4).
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The slope of the line is \frac{1}{-4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope:

\frac{5-4}{2-6}

Then we simplify:

\frac{1}{-4}

The slope of the line is \frac{1}{-4}.
