Answer:

  $1600

Step-by-step explanation:

The $800 that the customer paid is 50% of the retail price, so the retail price is twice that amount:

  $800/0.50 = $1600

The selling price of the mattress before the discount was $1600.

__

Additional comment

The wholesale price was $1600/2.25 = $711.11

Austin made 5 quarts of his special from-scratch cupcake mix. He was able to make 32 identical cupcakes using 3.5 quarts of his
storchak [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find how much mix is required to make 52 cupcakes.

  quarts/cupcakes = 3.5/32 = x/52

Multiplying by 52, we find ...

  x = 52(3.5/32) = 5.6875 . . . quarts needed for 52 cupcakes

This is more mix than Austin made. He does not have enough left for 20 more cupcakes.

What is the equation that represents the line?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-3+6}{2+2} = \frac{3}{4}, thus

y = \frac{3}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either ot the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (2, - 3), then

- 3 = \frac{3}{2} + c ⇒ c = - 3 - \frac{3}{2} = - \frac{9}{2}

y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{9}{2} ← equation of line
