A Merchant Instructs His Agent To Buy 1,000 Micro Tip Pens And Sell Them At 15% Above The Purchase Price.
Answer 2

The price of the pen is "12", and the cost price of 1000 pens is "12000".

Calculating the price of the pen:

Assume the number of Pens[tex]= x[/tex]

commission price of 1000 Pens[tex]=1000 x[/tex]

The selling price of Pens:

  [tex]=\frac{1000\times 115x}{100}\\\\ ={10\times 115 x}{}\\\\= 1150x[/tex]

Commission price on Purchase:

[tex]= \frac{1000\times 1 x}{100}\\\\= \frac{10\times 1 x}{1}\\\\= 10x[/tex]

commission price on sales:

[tex]=\frac{1150x \times 3}{100}\\\\=\frac{115 x \times 3}{10}\\\\=\frac{345 x }{10}\\\\=34.5\ x[/tex]

Calculating the total commission:

[tex]\to 10x+34.5x=44.5x=534\\\\\to 44.5x=534\\\\\to x = \frac{534}{ 44.5}=12[/tex]

Therefore, the agent buys a pen at 12 rupees and the cost price of 1,000 pens is 12000.

8. A substance has a half life of 2.347 minutes.
a. If the initial amount of the substance was 110.4 grams, how many half-lives will have passed
before the substance decays to 6.9 grams.
b. What is the total time of the decay?

Answers

Answer:

a.) 4 half lives have passed

b) 9.388 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for exponential growth / decay is given as:

[tex]A=A_0b^{\frac{t}{c}}[/tex]

Where [tex]A[/tex] is the final population

[tex]A_0[/tex] is the initial population

[tex]b[/tex] is the growth factor

[tex]c[/tex] is the time taken for the growth 'b'

[tex]t[/tex] is the amount of time

Here, we are given that:

[tex]A[/tex] = 6. 9 grams

[tex]A_0[/tex] = 110.4 grams

[tex]b = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]c = 2.347[/tex] min

To find:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay.

b.) Total time in the decay.

Solution:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay is nothing but equal to [tex]\frac{t}{c}[/tex].

Putting the values in the formula, we get:

[tex]6.9=110.4\times \frac{1}2^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 6.9=110.4\times 0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 0.0625=0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{c} =4[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

4 half lives have passed.

b.) Total time of decay. We have to find the value of [tex]t[/tex] here.

From answer of part a.):

[tex]\dfrac{t}{c} =4\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2.347} =4\\\Rightarrow t =\bold{9.388\ min}[/tex]

Answer:  56 degrees

===================================================

Work Shown:

For any triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180

(4x-12) + (6x-17) + (2x+5) = 180

(4x+6x+2x) + (-12-17+5) = 180

12x - 24 = 180

12x = 180+24 ..... adding 24 to both sides

12x = 204

x = 204/12 ..... dividing both sides by 12

x = 17

We can use this x value to find the three angles

4x-12 = 4*17-12 = 56

6x-17 = 6*17-17 = 85

2x+5 = 2*17+5 = 39

As a check,

56+85+39 = 180

which confirms we have the right x value.

We see that 56 is the middle angle, so this is the second largest angle.

The 7th-grade class took a survey on their favorite ice cream. 58 people said they prefer vanilla, while 28 people said they prefer chocolate. Write a ratio comparing chocolate to vanilla. (Write it in a :b form)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a : b = 14 : 29[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]Vanilla = 58[/tex]

[tex]Chocolate = 28[/tex]

Required

Represent as ratio

Let chocolate be represented with a and vanilla be represented with b

So, we have:

[tex]a : b[/tex]

[tex]a : b = 28 : 58[/tex]

Divide ratio by 2

[tex]a : b = 14 : 29[/tex]

Hence, the required ratio is [tex]14:29[/tex]

Una parte de 25 000 dólares se invierte al 10% de interés, otra parte al 12 % y el resto al 16%. El ingreso anual total de las tres inversiones es de 3200 dólares. Además, el ingreso de la inversión al 16% es igual al ingreso de las otras dos inversiones combinadas. ¿Cuánto se invirtió a cada tasa de interés?

Answers

Answer:

$5000 at 10%, $10000 at 12% and 10000 at 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

One part of $ 25,000 is invested at 10% interest, another part at 12%, and the rest at 16%. The total annual income from the three investments is $ 3,200. Also, the income from the investment at 16% is equal to the income from the other two investments combined. How much was invested at each interest rate?

==================

Let the parts be x, y and z

As per given we get below system of equations:

x + y + z = 250000.1x + 0.12y + 0.16z = 32000.1x + 0.2y = 0.16z

Substitute 0.1x + 0.2y in the second equation:

0.16z + 0.16z = 32000.32z = 3200z = 3200/0.32z = 10000

Now we have:

x + y + 10000 = 25000 ⇒ x + y = 15000

and

0.1x + 0.12y + 0.16*10000 = 3200 ⇒ 0.1x + 0.12y = 1600

Multiply the second equation and then subtract the first one:

10(0.1x + 0.12y) = 10(1600) ⇒ x + 1.2y = 16000x + 1.2y - (x + y) = 16000 - 150000.2y = 1000y = 10000

Then

x = 15000 - 10000 = 5000

So the parts are:

$5000 at 10%, $10000 at 12% and 10000 at 16%

There are 60 new houses being built in a neighborhood. Last month, 1/4 of them were sold. This month, 1/5 of the remaining houses were sold. How many houses are left to be sold.

Answers

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of new houses  = 60

Number of houses sold last month = (1/4) of 60

                                                          [tex]= \frac{1}{4}*60[/tex]

                                                          = 15

Remaining houses  = 60 - 15 = 45

Number of houses sold this month = (1/5) of 45

                                                          [tex]=\frac{1}{5}*45\\\\= 9[/tex]

Number of houses that are left = 45 - 9 = 36

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector to the line segment is passing through the midpoint of the line segment. Coordinates of midpoint are ( [tex]\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2}[/tex] )

Formula of slope is m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals. So, if AB ⊥ CD , then [tex]m_{AB}[/tex] × [tex]m_{CD}[/tex] = - 1

y - [tex]y_{1}[/tex] = m ( x - [tex]x_{1}[/tex] )  

~~~~~~~~~~~

(- 8, 5)

(4, 1)

m = ( 5 - 1) / ( - 8 - 4) = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Opposite reciprocal to ( - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ) is 3

Coordinates of midpoint are ( - 2 , 3 )

y - 3 = 3 ( x + 2 )

y = 3x + 9

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 7) and is PARALLEL to the line y = -4x + 1.​

Answers

Answer:

The equation is [tex]y=x-9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want a line parallel to the line in the problem it will have the same slope. The equation given in the problem is already in slope intercept form so we can take the slope for the new equation directly from this equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:  [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept value.  

[tex]y=1x-2[/tex]

Therefore the slope is  

[tex]m=1[/tex]

We can now use the point-slope formula to write the equation of the parallel line:

The point-slope formula states:  

[tex](y-y1)=m(x-x1)[/tex]

Where  m  is the slope and  [tex](x1,y1)[/tex] is a point the line passes through.  

Substituting the information from the problem gives:

[tex](y- (-7)=1(x-2)[/tex]

[tex](y+7)=1(x-2)[/tex]

Or, we can solve for  y  to put the equation in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y+7=x-2[/tex]

[tex]y+7-7=x-2-7[/tex]

[tex]y+0=x-9[/tex]

[tex]y=x-9[/tex]
