A store owner buys a case of 144 pens for $28.80. He sells the pens for $0.40 each. The owner claims that they marked the pens up by 50% before selling them. Prove that the owner calculated their markup correctly. If they did not, how much of a markup actually occurred?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The owner buys 144 pens for $28.80 i.e. each pen costs

[tex]\dfrac{28.80}{144}=\$0.2[/tex]

owner sells the pen at $0.4 i.e. price marked up by

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.4-0.2}{0.2}\times 100=100\%[/tex]

So, the claim of the owner is incorrect

The actual increase in the price to get 50% markup

[tex]\Rightarrow 0.2\times (1+0.5)=\$0.3[/tex]

First rider takes 12 minutes to complete a round.Second rider takes 18 minutes to complete a round.

[tex] \huge \mathsf \blue{To\: Find}[/tex]

After how many minutes will they meet

again at the starting point?

Take the LCM of 12 and 18

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

Thus, the LCM of 12 and 18 is 36.

So they will meet after 36 minutes again at the starting point.

Answer:

Find the LCM of 12 & 18 .

12 = 2×2×3

18 = 3×3 ×2

So , LCM of ( 12 , 18 ) = 2×3×2 = 36

Your Ans is 36

Therefore he meet after 36 minutes at starting point..!!

Hello There!

The area of a triangle can be found using this formula

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} (a+b)h[/tex]

where a and b = bases and h = height

The trapezoid shown has the following dimensions

top base = 9cm

bottom base = 14 cm

height = 12 cm

slant height = 13 cm

using this information, we plug in the values into the formula

So [tex]A = \frac{1}{2} (9+14)12[/tex]

the equation we created matches the 2nd equation therefore the second one is your answer

the second one is right

Answer:

<1  and <6 = 98

<2 and <3 = 139

<4 and <5 = 123

Step-by-step explanation:

82 + 9x - 6 + 6x - 1 = 180

15x + 75 = 180

15x = 105

x = 7

<1:

x + 82 = 180

x = 98

<2:

6x - 1 = 6(7) - 1 = 41

x + 41 = 180

x = 139

<3 = <2 because of vertical angle thm so <3 = 139

<5:

9x - 6 = 9(7) - 6 = 57

x + 57 = 180

x = 123

<4 = 5 because of vertical angle thm

<6 = <1 because of vertical angle thm

The ratio of the length to the width to the height of an open rectangular tank is 10: 5: 8. The height is 18 feet longer than the width. What is the volume of the tank

Answers

Answer:

hi

Step-by-step explanation:

how are you

Answer:  A: L: W: H = 10: 5: 8

Step-by-step explanation:  The height of the tank is 18 feet longer than the width

H = 8 parts, W = 5 parts => 8 – 5 parts = 18 feet i.e. 3 parts = 18, 1 part = 6 feet

Hence, L = 10 * 6 = 60 feet

W = 5 * 6 = 30 feet

H = 8 * 6 = 48 feet

Volume = 60 * 30 * 48 = 86400 ft³

Surface Area = 2 * (30 * 60 + 48 * 60 + 30 * 48) =12240 ft²

how do i find the surface area and volume of this shape?

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h

π = 3.14

radius, r = diameter/2

= 25/2 = 12.5 m

Height, h = 23m

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h

= 1/3 * 3.14 * 12.5² * 23

= 1/3 * 3.14 * 156.25 * 23

= 11,284.375 / 3

So there is a square and 4 triangles.

You first, find the area of the square.

You then get: 35 x 48 = 1,680

Then you need to add the triangles.

Because we have 2 triangles on each side the area formula of a triangle in which is 1/2 times by the base and height can be solved by just B * H.

Doing that you can get: 48 * 7 = 336

Because you have 2 triangles, the final area results in:

1,680 + 336 * 2 = 2,352

Solve the system of equations by substitution. * -8x + 2y = 4 y = 4x + 2 ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x + 2y = 4

y = 4x + 2

Put the value of y into the first equation

-8x + 2(4x + 2) = 4                 Remove the brackets

-8x + 8x + 4 = 4                    The 8xs cancel out.

If a triangle has a side length of 5 inches and another side length of 7 inches, which of the
following choices for the third side length will make a triangle?
a. 1 inch
b. 2 inches
c. 6 inches
d. 13 inches

Answers

Answer:

d. 13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When we need to solve the side length and length of triangles, we need to remember one thing.

Coming to a right triangle, there are two short sides and one long side, and the two short sides need to add up to something less than the one long side.

Therefore, since we know our two short sides, add them :

7in. + 5in.

= 12in.

Looking at the answers, we can point out that d. is greater than 12 inches, therefore making it the correct answer.

Dónde;

Nosotras tenemos

[tex]2^x + \dfrac{1}{2^x} = 3[/tex]

[tex]2^{2\cdot x} +1 = 3 \cdot 2^x[/tex]

[tex]2^{2\cdot x} - 3 \cdot 2^x +1 = 0[/tex]

Deje que 'a' represente 2ˣ, tenemos;

a² - 3·a + 1 = 0

a = (3 ± √(3² - 4 × 1 × 1))/2 = (3 ± √5)/2

∴ a = 2ˣ = (3 ± √5)/2

((3 ± √5)/2)^2 - 3×(3 ± √5)/2 + 1

x = ln(3 ± √5)/2/(ln(2))

4ˣ + 4⁻ˣ = 4^(ln((3 ± √5)/2)/(ln(2))) + 4^(-(ln((3 ± √5)/2)/(ln(2)))) = 7

∴ 4ˣ + 4⁻ˣ = 7.
