A dealer bought 3 gross buttons at $.38 a dozen. He sold the buttons at 5 cents each. How much was his profit per gross?(12 dozen equals one gross)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

Answer 2

3 x 12 = 36

.5 x 36 = 18.0

36 divided by .38 is about 94.7

18 - 94.7 = -76.7

ANSWER:

about -76.7

Answers

Answer:

$ 800

Step-by-step explanation:

number of books sold = 50

money earned = $ 890.00

profit = $ 90.00

Then the price of 50 books will be (money earned) - (profit)

= 890 - 90

= 800

What is the solution to this system of equations?
5x + 2y = 29
x + 4y= 13

Answers

Answer:

x = 4.5

y = 3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Use elimination

5x + 2y = 29

x + 4y = 13 (-5)

4y(-5) = 13(-5)

2y = 29

-20y = -65

y = 3.25

Sub it back into the equation

5x + 6.50 = 29

5x = 22.5

x = 4.5

Answers

Answer:

1.734

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A local trucking company fitted a regression to relate the travel time (days) of its shipments as a function of the distance traveled (miles).

The fitted regression is Time = −7.126 + .0214 Distance

Based on a sample size n = 20

And an Estimated standard error of the slope = 0.0053

the critical value for a right-tailed test to see if the slope is positive, using ∝ = 0.05 can be computed as follows:

Let's determine the degree of freedom df = n - 1

the degree of freedom df = 20 - 2

the degree of freedom df =  18

At the level of significance ∝ = 0.05 and degree of freedom df =  18

For a right tailed test t, the critical value from the t table is :

You first multiply the six with the equation in the parentheses making it:

4n-6n + 12= -24 + 7n

You then subtract 4n from -6n changing it to:

-2n + 12 = -24 + 7n after that you switch the 12 and 7n so that the equation can be

-2n -7n = -24 - 12

After that combine the numbers together:

PLS HELP!! Consider the exponential functions f, g, and h, defined as shown. Determine which function or functions have each key feature. Drag the tiles to the correct boxes. Not all tiles will be used.

Answers

Answer:

1) increases on all interval of x = only g(x)

2) approaches an integer as x approaches -∞ = only f(x)

3) y-intercept at (0, 4) = only g(x)

4) x-intercept at (1, 0) = f(x) and h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The functions that increases on all interval of x are;

f(x) = -2(3)ˣ + 6 decreases on all interval of x

The function g(x) which is 4 × 4ˣ  increases on all interval of x

The function h(x) is observed to be decreasing as x increases, therefore, the only function that increases on all interval of x = g(x)

2) The function that approaches an integer as x approaches -∞ = -2(3)ˣ + 6

-2(3)ˣ + 6 approaches 6 as x approaches -∞ which is only f(x)

3) The functions that have a y-intercept at (0, 4) is only g(x)

4) The function that have a x-intercept at (1, 0) are f(x) and h(x).

The size of a television screen is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm.
Write down the upper bound of the size of the television screen.

Answers

Answer:

The upper bound is 97.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper bound is given as the value that is larger than or equal to all values in a data set, for example, in the data set, {3, 6, 16, 23, 25}, an upper bound  is 25, however, where the accuracy of the data is given, the upper bound can be found by the following relation

Where the number is given to the nearest 100, add and subtract  half of hundred to obtain the upper bound and lower bound respectively

For the question, given that the size of the television is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm, we add add half of 5 cm to get the upper bound as follows;

Upper bound = 95 cm + 5/2 cm = 97.5 cm

The upper bound = 97.5 cm.

The sum that we have is 85 +99

We want to express it as the product of a whole number thar is greater than 1 and a sum of two whole numbers.

Notice that: 85 = 84+1

● 85 + 99 = 84 + 1 + 99 = 84 + 100

84 and 100 are even numbers so we can factor using 2.

● 84 + 100 = 2(42 +50)

2 is greater than one and 42+50 is the sum of two whole numbers so all the conditions are satisfied.

They came back at the same time.

So Charlie has to wait 6 months before going and Dasha nine months.

Dasha will be alone home for 3 months so she doesn't need to hire someone.

Here is what happens:

● Both Dasha and Charlie are home.

● After 6 months Charlie go and Dasha is at home

● after 3 months Dasha goes also and Charlie is home

● after 3 months charlie go and Dasha is home

● after 3 months both are home.

● aftet 3 months they both go

A prisoner is trapped in a cell containing 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunnelthat returns him to his cell after 2 days’ travel. The second leads to a tunnel thatreturns him to his cell after 4 day’s travel. The third door leads to freedom after 1day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors 1,2,and 3with respective probabilities 0.5,0.3, and 0.2, what is the expected number of daysuntil the prisoner reaches freedom?

Answers

Answer:

2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom=E(x)=?

E(x)=x*p(x)

Where x is the number of days and p(x) is the probability associated with them.

X    1    2    3

P(x) 0.5 0.3 0.2

E(x)=1*0.5+2*0.3+3*0.2

E(x)=0.5+0.6+0.6

E(x)=1.7.

Thus, the expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom are 2 days.

AB and AC both are radius of circle C1 so both are equal ie AB = AC .

AB and BC both are radius of circle C 2 so both are equal ie AB = BC .

Jared and Zach are practicing their free throws. Jared attempted x shots and made 75% of them. Zach attempted 10 more shots than Jared did and made 80% of them. Together, they made a total of 101 shots. Which equation represents this situation?

Answers

0.75x+0.8(x + 10) = 101

Answer:

0.75x+0.8(x+10)=101

Step-by-step explanation:

Jared attempted x shots and made 75% of them, or 0.75x. Zach attempted 10 more shots than Jared did, which is represented as x + 10. He made 80% of them, or 0.8(x + 10). Together, they made 101 shots. So, add the two expressions and set the sum equal to 101:

0.75x + 0.8(x + 10) = 101.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve x2 = -4x + 3

Answers

Answer:

x1 = 0.64575

x2 = -4.64574

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We want to rearrange the equation so all the variables are on one side

0 = -x² - 4x + 3

Step 2: We take out -1 in the first 2 terms so a = 1

0 = -(x² + 4x) + 3

Step 3: Force a square, take the 'b' value and divide it by 2 and square the result. Add it and subtract it from the inside of the brackets

b = 4

4/2 = 2

2² = 4

0 = -(x² + 4x + 4 - 4) + 3

Step 4: Move the -4 out remembering to apply the -

= -(x² + 4x + 4) + 4 + 3

Step 5: We notice is inside the brackets is a perfect square

0 = -(x + 2)² + 7

Therefore the vertex form of the equation is

y = -(x + 2)² + 7

Step 6: We want to solve the equation (find the x intercepts) so we set y to 0 and solve for x

0 = -(x + 2)² + 7

-7 = -(x + 2)²

7 = (x + 2)²

[tex] \sqrt{7 } = x + 2 [/tex]

[tex]x = \sqrt{7} - 2[/tex]

Esmereldas family went out to dinner paying 20% tip at the end of the meal. Their credit card was charged $51.00. What was the amount on the bill without the tip

Answers

Answer:

42.50

Step-by-step explanation:

bill + tip = total bill

The tip is based on the bill

tip = bill * 20%

tip = bill * .20

Replace in the original equation

bill + .20 bill = total bill

Combine like terms

1.20 bill = total bill

The total bill was 51 dollars

1.20 bill = 51

Divide each side by 1.20

1.20 bill / 1.2 = 51/ 1.2

bill =42.50

Answer:

$42.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total was $51 with the tip, and you know the tip was 20%, you can set up an equation and solve:

0.2x+x=51

1.2x=51

x=42.5

Therefore, the bill (w/o tip) was $42.50
