Okay. So, to find the percent change, we have to do change/original. In this case, it would be 12/15, because 15 and 27 are apart by 12. 12/15 is 0.8. Multiply that by 100 and you get 80. There was an 80% markup of the chair sold to the antique dealer.

Answer:  The required percent markup is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Carlos purchased an antique chair for $15 and later he sold it this year for $27 to an antique dealer.

We are to find the percent markup of the chair.

The markup price of the chair is given by

m_p=\$(27-15)=\$12.

Since Carlos purchased the chair for $15, so the markup percent is given by

\dfrac{m_p}{15}\times100\%\\\\\\=\dfrac{12}{15}\times100\%\\\\\\=\dfrac{4}{5}\times100\%\\\\=80\%.

Thus, the required percent markup is 80%.

A rectangular box which is open at the top can be made from an12-by-18-inch piece of metal by cutting a square from each corner
algol [13]

Answer:

h=2.35in, l=13.3in and w=7.3in

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must start by drawing a diagram that will represent the prolem. (Look at attached picture)

From the diagram we can see that the length ad the width of the box are found by  using the following expressions:

L=18-2x

W= 12-2x

H=x

next, we can make use of the volume formula of a rectangular prism, which is the following:

V=WLH

so we can substitute the expressions we got before on the formula:

V=x(12-2x)(18-2x)

and for ease of calculation, we can multiply the terms, so we get:

V=x(216-24x-36x+4x^{2})

V=x(4x^{2}-60x+216)

V=4x^{3}-60x^{2}+216x

So now we can find the derivative of the volume:

V'=12x^{2}-120x+216

and set it equal to zero, so we get:

12x^{2}-120x+216=0

and now we can solve. We can start by factoring the left side of the equation, so we get:

12(x^{2}-10x+18)=0

which yields:

x^{2}-10x+18=0

This one can only be solved by using the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{-b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

so we substitute the corresponding values:

x=\frac{-(-10)\pm \sqrt{-(-10)^{2}-4(1)(18)}}{2(1)}

which yields:

x=7.65in or x=2.35in

we keep the 2.35in only, because the 7.65in returns an impossible box, since that would make the width a negative width.

So the 2.35in height would give us the greatest box. Now we can use it to find the height, the width and the length of the box.

Height=x=2.35

W=12-2x=12-2*2.35=7.3in

L=18-2x=18-2(2.35)=13.3in

Glen Cove has a population of 7,200, which is decreasing at a
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

11 years

Step-by-step explanation:

7200  -  80x  =  5000  +  120x
-5000 + 80x    -5000 + 80x
           2200 = 200x
                  11 = x
