A trader purchased 1,000 books at the rate of $5.40 per book and spent $200 towards transportation. If he wants to earn a profit of 12.5%, at what price should he sell each book?
( with explanation )

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one book =  $5.40

cost of 1000 books = 1000* Cost of one book  =  $5.40*1000 = $5400

Transportation cost for all the books = $200

Thus, total cost for all the books = cost of 1000 books + Transportation cost for all the books  = $5400 + $200 = $5600.

Given , trader wants to earn a profit of 12.5%

thus, we find 12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader

12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader = 12.5/100 *  $5600. = $700

Thus, total profit for 1000 books will be $700

we know that

selling price = cost price + profit

therefore, in the given problem

selling price for 1000 books =  total cost for 1000 books + total profit

substituting the value as calculated above

selling price for 1000 books = $5600 + $700 = $6300

To find selling price for one book, lets divide LHS and RHS by 1000

selling price for 1000/100 books = $6300/1000 = $6.3

Thus, trader should sell each book at $6.3 to earn a profit of 12.5%.

A rectangle has a length 2x+1 and width x+3.
Write an expression that shows the area of
the rectangle. Be sure to simplify your
ansver.

Answers

Answer:

3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the area we do length times width so to find the area of this rectangle we do 2x + 1 * x + 3

for this equation we have an order of operations problem we have to multiply 1 * x first so the answer becomes 3x + 3 because after the order of operstions the equation becomes 2x + 1x + 3

we then combine like terms / the x's

2x + 1x = 3x

then add 3

3x + 3

Answer:

                  x = 1/6 =0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    3*x+4-(9*x+3)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

1.1      Solve  :    -6x+1 = 0  

Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation :  

                     -6x = -1

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  6x = 1

Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

                    x = 1/6 = 0.167

One solution :

                  x = 1/6 = 0.167

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 9x from both sides.

3x+4−9x=9x+3−9x

−6x+4=3

Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−6x+4−4=3−4

−6x=−1

Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.

−6x                  -1

-------      =     ----------

-6                    -6

x=1/6

Answers

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, since 12 is multiplied by (-4)^-1 every time, and the definition of geometric sequence is that  the first term has to be multiplied by a certain other constant number (referred to as common ratio (r)). The formula for a geometric sequence is An=A1R^(n-1)

a triangle has one side of length 12 and another of length 7 which of the following are possible lengths of the third side ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first rule is that 2 of the sides must be bigger than the third.

4 and 7 makes 11 which is not bigger than 12, so A is not an answer.

5 + 7 = 12 That does not exceed 12, so the second one is not an answer

12 12 and 7 works perfectly. It makes an isosceles triangle. Any two of the three sides added together is larger than the third side.

If you put 19 20 or 21 into what you think might make a triangle, you would be incorrect. 12 and 7 makes 19. 19 is too large because 12 and 7 will lie flat on 19. No triangle works.

So only 12 works.

In short, 5<x<19 will create a triangle. Anything outside that inequality will not.

Answer:

7 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

using triangle inequality theorem

if triangle has side a,b, and c, then all of them will trus if fulfill this inequality

a+b > c

a+c > b

b+c > a

now take a = 7 and b = 12

so the number c which can make triangle with a and b is

How many water do you need to mix with 200ml of shampoo? How many water should you mix with 500ml of shampoo? If the correct amount of water is mixed with 400ml of shampoo will the mixture fit in a 2500ml container?

Answers

Answer:

200 mL shampoo - 1050 ml water

500 mL shampoo - 2625 mL water

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 400 ml shampoo , should be mixed 2500 - 400 = 2100 mL of water.

2) 400 mL shampoo - 2100 mL water

    200 mL shampoo -  x mL water

x = 200*2100/400 = 1050 mL water

3) 400 mL shampoo - 2100 mL water

   500 mL shampoo - x  mL water

  x = 500*2100/400 = 2625 mL water

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the
given line and has an x-intercept of 6?
y=-3x+8
O y=-3x + 6
O y=-x-8
O y=x-6

Answers

Answer:

y=x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is found replacing y = 0, as follows:

Function: y = -3x + 8

x-intercept:

0 = -3x + 8  

3x = 8

x = 8/3

Function: y = -3x + 6

x-intercept:

0 = -3x + 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3 = 2

Function: y = -x - 8  

x-intercept:

0 = -x - 8  

x = -8

Function: y = x - 6

x-intercept:

0 = x - 6

x = 6

The last option is the only one in which x-intercept is x = 6.
