If a ring costs a jeweler $1500, at what price should it be sold to yield a profit of 50% on the selling price?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$2250

Step-by-step explanation:

selling the ring at 100% of $1500 would equal 1500 and yield no profit

therefore, you must sell the ring at 150% (where 100% covers the cost and the additional 50% provides the profit) of 1500

1.5 x 1500 = 2250

Kiran's father is 65 years old. He is 8 years older than three
times Kiran's age. Find Kiran's age?​

Answers

Answer:

let kiran's age be x

kiran's father's age is 65

acc.to ques

kiran's father is 8 years older than 3 times kiran's age ....which gives us the equation as follows

8+3x =65

therefore

3x =65-8

3x =57

x =57/3

x= 19 ans

so kiran's age is 19 years.

Answer:

kiran is 19 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

kiran's father age = 65

let kiran's age be x

kiran's father is 8 years older than three times kiran's age means 8 + 3x

so according to the question equation is

65 =  8 + 3x

65 - 8 = 3x

57/3 = x

19 = x

therefore kiran's age is 19 years.

Kelly is going two work two part-time jobs during the school year. When she works for her dad, she will make $8.00 per hour. When she works at a day care center, she will make $14.00 per hour. To pay her car payment, Kelly needs to make at least $84.00 a week and can work no more than 10 hours total per week. Write an inequality to represent the difference combinations of hours working for her dad,X, and hours working for the daycare center,Y, Kelly can work if she wants to earn at least $84 per week

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours Kelly works for her dad per week and y represent the number of hours Kelly works in the daycare center per week.

Since she wants to make $84 per week, hence:

8x + 14y ≥ 84     (1)

Also, she can work a maximum of 10 hours per week, hence:

x + y ≤ 10           (2)

Hey,

We know that the circumfrence is the perimetert of a full circle. If we want to find the perimeter of a semicircle all we have to do is find the circumfrence and then divide it by 2 since we want to know the perimeter of half the circle.

Circumfrence is equal to 2πr. Where r is the radius and since we know the radius we an solve for the circumfrence.

2(π)(1km)=2kmπ.

The problem tells us to use 3.14 for pi so let's multiply 2 by 3.14.

What pattern can you use to find other terms of the sequence given below? 14, 6, -2, -10, -18, … Add _________ to the previous term to find the next term

Answers

Answer:

Add -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second term and subtract the first term

6-14 = -8

Check with the third and second terms

-2 -6 = -8

We are subtracting 8 from each side

(or adding -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

14, 6, -2, -10 , -18

ok so if you are starting at 14 then you would be add -8

14-8=6

6-8=-2

so on and so on..

But if you are starting from -18 then you would add 8

-18, -10,-2, 6, 14

-18+8=-10

-10+8=-2 so on and so on

so either one of those depending on which number your starting with

C. a = 6/3,6 = 12,C= 612
D. a=6x3,6 = 12-/3,c=ba/2

Answers

Answer:

C. a = 6√3, b = 12, c = 6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find b using the cos. The cos is the adjacent side if the angle divided by the hypotenuse. We know the value of the adjacent side and we know that cos(60°) = 1/2 = 0.5:

cos(60°) = 6/b

0.5 = 6/b

b = 6/0.5

b = 12

Now we can find a using the Pythagorean theorem:

b² = 6² + a²

12² = 6² + a²

144 = 36 + a²

a² = 144 - 36

a² = 108

a = √108

a = 6√3

And now we can find c using cos again:

cos(45°) = c/b

√2/2 = c/12

c = 12•√2/2

c = 6√2

Write an equation for the line that contains (-15, -8) and is parallel to the
graph -3x + 5y = -8

Answers

Answer:

y=3/5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the equation -3x+5y=-8 and we want to find the equation of the line that is parallel to -3x+5y=-8 and contains the point (-15,-8)

parallel lines have the same slopes, but different y intercepts.

So let's first find the slope of -3x+5y=-8

We can do this by converting the equation from standard form (ax+by=c where a, b, and c are free coefficients (numbers)) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

add 3x to both sides

5y=3x-8

divide by 5 on both sides

y=3/5x-8/5

3/5 is in the place of where m is, so that means that 3/5 is the slope of the line

we can write the equation of the new line in slope-intercept form.

Here it is so far:

y=3/5x+b

we need to find b

Because the line will pass through the point (-15,-8), we can use it to solve for b

substitute -15 as x and -8 as y

-8=3/5(-15)+b

multiply

-8=-9+b

add 9 to both sides

1=b

substitute 1 as b into the equation

y=3/5x+1

There's the equation of the line :)

Originally a rectangle has dimensions 12in by 8in. if the same amount increases on both sides, the area is doubled find the new dimensions

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the increase in the size of the length and breath be 'x'.

The area of the rectangle = 12in × 8in

=96 in²

From the question,

(12+x)(8+x)=96×2 in²

or, 96+12x+8x+x²= 192

or, x²+20x+96-192=0

or, x²+20x-96=0

or, x²+24x-4x-96=0

or, x(x+24)-4(x+24)=0

or, (x-4)(x+24)=0

Either, Or,

x-4=0 x+24=0

Therefore, or, x= –24 (Which is impossible)

x=4

So the new dimensions are 12+4=16 inch and 8+4=12 inch.

(write and solve an algebraic equation to find the measure of each angle based on the given description.)
***11. Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 24° more than the
measure of the other angle.

Answers

Answer:

The angles are 78° and 102°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one angle is y and the other number if y + 24.

The sum of the angles of the linear pair is 180°.

So, according to the question

y + y + 24 = 180

2 y = 180 - 24

2 y = 156

y = 78°

So, one angle is 78° and the other is 78° + 24° = 102°.

The graph represents the piecewise function:
f(x)= { __, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1; __, if 3 ≤ x ≤ 5 }

Answers

Answer:

4, x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first piece of this function goes from -1 to 1. Since that part of the function is a horizontal line at y=4, and has no slope, this first part is just 4.

The second piece of this function goes from 3 to 5. This piece does have a slope that you can either solve or just from reading the graph will give you a slope of 1. Since one of the points is (3, 2), we can figure out that the y-intercept is -1. (You can also just extend the line across the y-axis). When putting this equation together we get x-1 being the second part.

The solution is:

The graph represents the piecewise function:

f(x)= { 4, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1;

         (x - 1), if 3 ≤ x ≤ 5 }

What is graph?

In mathematics, the graph of a function f is the set of ordered pairs, where {\displaystyle f(x)=y.} In the common case where x and f(x) are real numbers, these pairs are Cartesian coordinates of points in two-dimensional space and thus form a subset of this plane.

here, we have,

The first piece of this function goes from -1 to 1.

Since that part of the function is a horizontal line at y=4, and has no slope, this first part is just 4.

so, we have,

The second piece of this function goes from 3 to 5.

This piece does have a slope that you can either solve or just from reading the graph will give you a slope of 1.

Since one of the points is (3, 2), we can figure out that the y-intercept is -1. (You can also just extend the line across the y-axis).

When putting this equation together we get x-1 being the second part.

Hence, The solution is:
