marked down by 50%. The second is marked down by 30% with an additional 20% off. Find the sale price of each washing
machine. Use pencil and paper. Explain why Kareem should buy the first washing machine rather than the second if the
machines are the same except for the selling price.
The sale price of the first washing machine is $
(Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$240the sale price on the first machine is lower

Step-by-step explanation:

Two washing machines are offered at $480, with one marked down 50% and the other marked down 30% and another 20% off. You want to know why the first machine has a better price, and what that price is.

First machine

The price after a 50% markdown is ...

  $480 × (1 -50%) = $480 × 0.50 = $240 . . . first machine sale price

Second machine

The price after a 30% markdown is ...

  $480 × (1 -30%) = $480 × 0.70

After the additional 20% markdown, the price is ...

  ($480×0.70) × (1 -20%) = $480 × 0.70 × 0.80

  = $480 × 0.56 ≈ $269

Better deal

The first machine is a better deal, because The 50% markdown is off the original price.

The 30% markdown on the second machine is off the original price, but the additional 20% is off the reduced price. Hence the total markdown is not as great as on the first machine.

What is common ratio?

The distance between each number in a geometric series is known as the common ratio. The ratio between two consecutive numbers, or a number divided by the number before it in the sequence, is known as the common ratio since it is the same for all numbers or common.

Given that the expression f(x) = abˣ

Here, b is the common ratio.

Now to find the common ratio b;

To check for first and second term, 3240 / 2160 = 1.5

To check for second term and third term, 4860 / 3240 = 1.5

To check for third term and forth term, 7290 / 4860 = 1.5

To check for forth and fifth term, 10935 / 7290 = 1.5

Therefore the common ratio b is 1.5.

now to find a,

let x =0 and f(x) = 2160

Then, 2160 = a (1.5)°

a = 2160

Therefore, the equation which model the relationship between the weeks and the viewers is;

If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 4 cm²/min, find the rate at which the diameter
decreases when the diameter is 39 cm.

Answers

The surface area of a snowball can be represented by the formula:

A = 4πr^2

where A is the surface area, r is the radius of the snowball, and π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14.

If the surface area of the snowball decreases at a rate of 4 cm²/min, we can represent this as a derivative:

dA/dt = -4

where dA/dt is the rate of change of the surface area with respect to time, and t is the time in minutes.

The radius of the snowball is equal to half the diameter, so we can represent the radius as:

r = d/2

where d is the diameter of the snowball.

Substituting this expression for r into the formula for the surface area and differentiating with respect to time, we get:

dA/dt = 8π(d/2)dr/dt

Setting this expression equal to -4 and solving for dr/dt, we get:

dr/dt = -4 / (8π)

= -0.5 / π

When the diameter of the snowball is 39 cm, the rate at which the diameter decreases is:

dr/dt = -0.5 / π

= -0.15915494309189533576888376337251

Therefore, the rate at which the diameter of the snowball decreases when the diameter is 39 cm is approximately -0.159 cm/min.

Graph the line with -intercept -4 and slope 6
Can you mark the points

Answers

The graph of the given line with y-intercept -4 and slope 6 is given below.

What is slope intercept form?

One of the most popular ways to represent the equation of a line is in the slope intercept form of a straight line. When the slope of the straight line and the y-intercept are known, the slope-intercept formula can be used to determine the equation of a line ( the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis).

For a straight line with slope "m" and y-intercept "b," the slope-intercept form equation is:

y = mx + b.

Given, y-intercept (b) = -4

slope (m) = 6

Then, the equation of the graph will be

y = 6x - 4

and June 8, $113.3. How much will he pay in overdraft fees?

Answers

Answer: The total amount of overdraft fees that Lewis will pay is {$1149.28}.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Lewis will pay in overdraft fees, we need to calculate the total amount of his overdrafts. We can do this by subtracting the sum of his checks from his account balance on June 5. This gives us:

overdraft = 932.77 - (791.29 + 340.50 + 208.35 + 428.61 + 113.3)

         = 932.77 - 2082.05

         = -1149.28

Since the bank charges a $31-per-check overdraft protection fee, Lewis will have to pay $31 for each check that he overdraws his account. Since he overdraws his account by $1149.28 in total, he will have to pay $31 * (1149.28 / 31) = $1149.28 in overdraft fees.

Therefore, the total amount of overdraft fees that Lewis will pay is {$1149.28}.

The equation of the quadratic function is (c) f(x) = a(x + 3)² - 2

How to determine the equation of the quadratic function?

From the question, we have the table of values that can be used in our computation:

A quadratic equation is represented as

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Where

Vertex = (h, k)

From the graph, we have the vertex to be

(h, k) = (-3, -2)

Substitute (h, k) = (-3, -2) in f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

So, we have

f(x) = a(x + 3)² - 2

Also, from the graph, we have the point (0, 7)

This means that

a(0 + 3)² - 2 = 7

So, we have

9a = 9

Divide both sides by 9

a = 1

Substitute a = 1 in f(x) = a(x + 3)² - 2

f(x) = a(x + 3)² - 2

b. Find the 30th percentile of the total time taken by 52 customers.

Answers

The probability that the total time taken by a random sample of 52 customers is less than 180 minutes is 0.02%.

μ=Population mean=4

σ=Population standard deviation=2

n=Sample size=50

The sampling distribution of the sum S is roughly normal if the sample size is big (30 or more), according to the central limit theorem.

The central limit theorem tells us that the sampling distribution of the sum S is about normal because the sample size of 50 is at least 30.

The sum S's sample distribution has a mean and standard deviation of n and n, respectively.

The z-score is the value decreased by the mean, divided by the standard deviation

z = ( x -μS ) / √σS

= 150 - 50(4) / √ 50(2)

= 3.54

Using the appendix's normal probability table, get the relevant probability,

P(S < 150 ) = P(Z< -3.54)

= 0.0002

A function is an assertion, concept, or principle that establishes an association between two variables. Functions may be found throughout mathematics and are essential for the development of significant links.

The function written in factored form is given below.

f(x) = (−x + 4) (2x + 2)

For the factor (−x + 4), we have

−x + 4 = 0

x = 4

For the factor (2x + 2), we have

2x + 2 = 0

2x = −2

x = −1

The intersection of the curve with the x-axis will be at (−1, 0) and (4, 0) for each factor.

An animal shelter has 8 puppies. If the puppies are 32% of the total dog and cat population, how many dogs and cats are in the animal shelter?

Answers

well, the total amount is really "x", which oddly enough is the 100%, but we also know that 32% of that is 8, hmmmm

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 8& 32 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{8}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{32} \\\\\\ \cfrac{ x }{ 8 } ~~=~~ \cfrac{ 25 }{ 8 }\implies 8x=200\implies x=\cfrac{200}{8}\implies x=25[/tex]

The populations of 2 cities grow according to the exponential functions. Pi(t) = 120 e 0.011 t P2(t)= 125 e 0.007 t Where, P₁ and P2 are the populations (in thousands) of cities A and B respectively. t is the time in years such that t is positive and t = 0 corresponds to the year 2004. When were the populations of the two cities equal and what were their populations? ​

Answers

Hello,

I hope you and your family are doing well!

To find when the populations of the two cities are equal, we can set P1(t) = P2(t) and solve for t:

120 e 0.011 t = 125 e 0.007 t

Dividing both sides by e 0.007 t:

120 = 125 * (e 0.011 t / e 0.007 t)

Using the property that e^(a+b) = e^a * e^b, we have:

120 = 125 * e^(0.011 t - 0.007 t)

120 = 125 * e^(0.004 t)

Dividing both sides by 125:

1.2 = e^(0.004 t)

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln 1.2 = ln e^(0.004 t)

ln 1.2 = 0.004 t

t = ln 1.2 / 0.004

t = approximately 8.44 years

Therefore, the populations of the two cities were equal approximately 8.44 years after 2004, or in the year 2012. To find the population of the two cities at this point in time, we can substitute t = 8.44 into either of the exponential functions:

P1(8.44) = 120 e 0.011 * 8.44 = approximately 123.88 thousand

P2(8.44) = 125 e 0.007 * 8.44 = approximately 123.88 thousand

Therefore, the populations of the two cities were equal to approximately 123.88 thousand when they were equal.
