The price of a computer was marked up by 50% and then marked down by 50%.

Answer:

James is wrong because if you increase something's price by 50%, and decrease it by 50% of the new price, it will be lower than the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the computer's price is around $1,000.

Since we have to mark it up by 50%, we have to turn this into a decimal and multiply that decimal by the original price. Then add the product to the original price

0.5 x 1,000 = 500

500 + 1,000 = 1,500

The marked up price of the computer is $1,500, then reduce it by 50%, do the same process as the first step but don't add it to the original price this time.

0.5 x 1,500 = 750

The computer's final price is $750

Answer:

percent change = 25% (drop)

Step-by-step explanation:

James reasoning is incorrect

Let the original price of the computer = $1000

If the computer was marked up by 50% then 1000 x 1.5 = $1500

If the computer was then marked down by 50% then 1500 x 0.5 = $750

Percent change = [ (difference between final value and initial value) ÷ initial value] x 100

= [ (1000 - 750) ÷ 1000 ] x 100

= 25% (drop)

Given r(x) = x square +2x -1 and s(x) = x-1 what is the value of r(s(3))
Amanda [17]

Answer:

r(s(3))=7

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

r(x)=x^{2} +2x-1

s(x)=x-1

we know that

The function composition is equal to

(r ∘ s )(x) = r(s(x))

In the function r(x) substitute the variable x by the function s(x)

so

r(s(x))=(x-1)^{2} +2(x-1)-1

For x=3

substitute the value of x=3 in the function composition

r(s(3))=(3-1)^{2} +2(3-1)-1

r(s(3))=(2)^{2} +2(2)-1

r(s(3))=4+4-1

r(s(3))=7

Chapter : EXPONENTS AND POWERS<br> Can anyone give me answer for this please
Aneli [31]

The value of given expression is: 3

<h3>What is exponents and powers?</h3>

Exponent refers to the number of times a number is used in a multiplication. Power can be defined as a number being multiplied by itself a specific number of times.

9*(15)³/45 * 5^{-2}/9

= 3²* 3³*5³/5² * 3² * 3² * 5

= 3^{2+3-4} * 5^{3-3}

= 3*1

=3
