A sporting goods store bought a ski set at a cost of ​$432. ​Later, the ski set was marked down 10​% from its selling price and then marked down another 20​%. The total markdown is the greatest possible markdown without the store losing money. Find the original selling price.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The original selling price of the ski set is $600

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost price of the ski set = $432

The first percentage mark down of the ski set = 10% from its selling price

The first percentage mark down of the ski set = 20% from its selling price

Let x represent the original selling price of the ski set at the sporting goods store, we are given;

80/100 × (90/100 × x) = The cost price of the ski set

Therefore, we have;

80/100 × (90/100 × x) = 432

0.72 × x = 432

x = 432/0.72 = 600

Therefore, the original selling price of the ski set, x = $600

The answer is x= -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-4)=12x

=3x-12=12x

=3x-3x-12=12x-3x

-12=9x

To find x divide both sides by 9.

What is the slope of this line: y=10

Answers

The slope of this line is 0. If you graph the line y=10, for any x value, the y-value remains 10 (denoted because x is equal to 0 in the actual equation shown, which means that x will not be shown in the equation). The graph would basically just be a straight horizontal line, neither curving up or down.

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

15s + t = 5

4s = 3t + 34

Step 2: Rewrite

15s + t = 5

Subtract t on both sides:                    15s = -t + 5Multiply both sides by 3:                    45s = -3t + 15

Step 3: Redefine Systems

45s = -3t + 15

4s = 3t + 34

Step 4: Solve for s

Elimination

Combine equations:                    49s = 49Divide 49 on both sides:             s = 1

Step 5: Solve for t

Define equation:                     15s + t = 5Substitute in s:                         15(1) + t = 5Multiply:                                   15 + t = 5Isolate t:                                   t = -10

Answer:

Explanation is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Here ya go

Step 1

15s+t=5,4s=3t+34  Question

Step 2

4s=3t+34  Substitute  -15s+5

4s=3(-15s+5)+34

s=1

Step 3

t=-15s+5  Substitute 1 for s

t=(-15)(1)+5

t=-10

answer

s=1

t=-10

Equation 2 is the only one possible to be linear. All of the other answers have an exponents. For instance, say you have y=x^3. For 1, it is 1*1*1. (1,1). For 2, it is 2*2*2. (2,8). For 3, 3*3*3. (3,27) It escalates into a curve and is non-linear.

How do these results about area and perimeter of similar quadrilaterals compare with similar situations for triangles?

Answers

Answer:

Let's see

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are same ∆1 and ∆2

They have same height and breath

Now ∆1= ∆2

=> ar(∆1)= ar(∆2)

The same is for quadrilaterals

the ratio of the perimeters of similar figures is equal to their scale factor and that the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of their scale factor.

Adding cos x:

Write a function for the geometric sequence where the first term is 11 and the common ratio is 4. please help This is due today and I don't understand it I will give brainliest

Answers

Given:

In a geometric sequence,

First term = 11

Common ratio = 4

To find:

The function for the geometric sequence.

Solution:

We have,

First term: a = 11

Common ratio: r = 4

We know that, nth term of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Putting a=11 and r=4, we get

[tex]a_n=(11)(4)^{n-1}[/tex]

The function notation is

[tex]f(n)=(11)(4)^{n-1}[/tex]

Therefore, the function for the geometric sequence is [tex]f(n)=(11)(4)^{n-1}[/tex], where n is a positive integer.

Tim has a large collection of books. The number of paperback books he has is 3 times less then 4 times the amount of hardcover books. How many hardcover books does Tim have?

Answers

Complete Question:

Tim has a large collection of books. The number of paperback books he owns is three less than four times the number of hard cover books, in total Tim had 447 books, How many hard cover books does Tim own ?

Answer:

Tim has 90 hard cover books

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the paper books as P and the hard covers as H

The total number of books can be represented as:

[tex]P + H = 447[/tex]

From the first statement, we have:

P = 3 less than 4 times H

This means:

[tex]P = 4H - 3[/tex]

Required

Solve for H

Substitute 4H - 3 for P in [tex]P + H = 447[/tex]

[tex]4H - 3 + H = 447[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]4H + H = 447 + 3[/tex]

[tex]5H = 450[/tex]

Solve for H

[tex]H = \frac{450}{5}[/tex]

[tex]H = 90[/tex]

Hence:

Tim has 90 hard cover books

Answers

Answer:

The solutions to the system of equations are:

[tex]x=\frac{325}{9},\:y=\frac{65}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of the equations

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2x-y=65\\ 5y=x\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

isolate 'x' for 2x-y

[tex]2x-y=65[/tex]

Add y to both sides

[tex]2x-y+y=65+y[/tex]

[tex]2x=65+y[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{65}{2}+\frac{y}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{65+y}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=\frac{65+y}{2}[/tex]

isolate 'y' for  [tex]5y=\frac{65+y}{2}[/tex]

[tex]5y=\frac{65+y}{2}[/tex]

[tex]10y=65+y[/tex]

subtract y from both sides

[tex]10y-y=65+y-y[/tex]

[tex]9y=65[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9

[tex]\frac{9y}{9}=\frac{65}{9}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{65}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}x=\frac{65+y}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=\frac{65}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{65+\frac{65}{9}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{325}{9}[/tex]

The solutions to the system of equations are:
