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

Do both of them for 50 points
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1) 5.44, 2) 3.9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) a/b + 2b - a^2 when a = 1.4 and b = 0.2

plug in the values:

1.4/0.2 + 2(0.2) - (1.4)^2 = 7 + 0.4 - 1.96 = 5.44

2) a[b-2c]^3 - d/e when a = 2, b = -0.75, c = -1, d = 0, e = -12 5/7 (rewritten to -89/7 = 12.71)

again, plug in the values:

2[-0.75-2(-1)]^3 - 0/12.71 = 2[1.25]^3 - 0 = 2[1.95] = 3.9
