The Shoe Outlet bought boots for $60 and marks up the boots 55% on the selling price. What is the selling price of the boots?

Answers

Answer 1

If the markup is of the 55%, then the selling price will be the 155% of the original price, this means that the selling price is:

S = $93.

What is the selling price of the boots?

If the original price is P, and the markup is given by a percentage X, then the selling price of the product will be:

S = P*(1 + X/100%).

In this case, the original price is $60 and the mark up is of 55%, then we have:

P = $60

X = 55%.

S = $60*(1 + 55%/100%) = $60*(1 + 0.55) = $93

The selling price is $93.

Facts about Quadratic equations;

When considering,

[tex]b^2\text{ - 4ac}[/tex]

If you get a positive number, the quadratic will have two unique solutions. If you get 0, the quadratic will have exactly one solution, a double root. If you get a negative number, the quadratic will have no real solutions, just two imaginary ones.

Looking at all the four options, I have examined all and the only one found to be negative is the second option. Let's consider it together

a = 9, b = -25 and c = 30

(b x b ) - 4 x a x c

(-25 x -25) - 4 (9) (30)

625 - 1080

- 455

-455 < 0

Since the discriminant is less than this quadratic equation is expected to have no real solution.

You can as well try the other three options one is zero and the remaining two are greater than zero.

The dose of a drug is critical. Too small a dose may be treat a patient effectively, A nurse must give a patient 40mg of a drug for each kilogram of the patient’s mass. If the patient weighs 165lbs how many milligrams of the drug should be given?

Answers

EXPLANATION

We need to multiply the number of needed milligrams by the weight of the patient, but first turning the weight in lbs into kilograms,

[tex]?Kilograms=165lbs*\frac{0.453}{1lb}=74.745Kg[/tex]

Now, multiplying the obtained weight by the number of miligrams, give us the dose:

[tex]Dose=40\frac{mg}{Kg}*74.745Kg=2989.8mg[/tex]

In conclusion, the nurse should give 2989 mg of the drug.

Answers

We first determine the value of AB & CD:

AB (0, 7)

CD (0, -4)

We will calculate first if they are perpendicular:

[tex](0,7)\cdot(0,-4)=0\cdot0+(7)(-4)=-28\ne0[/tex]

From this, we know AB and CD are not perpendicular.

Now, in order to know if they are parallel, we will do as follows:

From this, we will have:

In a factory, the profit, P, varies directly with the inventory, I. If the factory has a profit of $60,000 when their inventory is 1,500 units, find the profit for an inventory of 50 units.

Answers

The factory has a profit of $60 000when their inventory is 1, 500 units

Let x be the profit for an inventory of 50 units

$60 000 = 1,500 units

X = 50 units

cross-multiply

1500X = $60 000 x 50

1500X =3,000,000

Divide both-side of the equation by 1500

1500X/1500 = 3,000,000/1500

x= $2000

The factory has a profit of $2000 for an inventory of 50 units

In 2009, there were 6.1 million females enrolled in degree granting institutions of higher education. over the next several years this number increased at a rate of 400,000 per year. estimate the number of females enrolled in 2024. y = ______ millionthe equation of the line that models this information is;y = 0.4t + 6.1Determine what year 12.9 million females will be enrolled.

Answers

Notice that

400,000 = 0.4 million

That's why the equation that models that information has the factor 0.4, since it expresses the result in millions of females.

Now, we need to notice that t, in the expression 0.4t + 6.1, is the number of years passed since 2009. So, in the year 2024, we have:

t = 2024 - 2009 = 15

Therefore, the number of females enrolled in 2024 can be estimated to be:

y = (0.4 * 15 + 6.1) million

y = (6 + 6.1) million

y = 12.1 million

Now, to determine the year when 12.9 million females will be enrolled, we first need to find t corresponding to y = 12.9, and then add it to the year 2009.

y = 0.4t + 6.1​

12.9 = 0.4t + 6.1

12.9 - 6.1 = 0.4t

6.8 = 0.4t

t = 6.8/0.4

t = 68/4

t = 17

Therefore, the year when it happens will be:

2009 + 17 = 2026

An income tax is a charge levied against people or organizations in relation to the income or profits they make. In most cases, income tax is calculated as the sum of the tax rate and the amount of taxable income. The type of taxpayer and the type of income are two factors that can affect the tax rate. Individuals (or family units) and corporations are subject to income taxes. The basis for calculating individual income tax is the income received. Since the burden is presumably on the individuals who pay it, it is typically categorized as a direct tax. Income taxes are assessed against both businesses and people based on their profits. Taxable income can be earned from a variety of sources, including earnings, salaries, dividends, interest, royalties, and rent.

x: mean = 33

s: standard deviation = 2

n = 31

Algebra / Graphs and Functions / Equations of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

We have the line:

[tex]y=7x-1.[/tex]

We must find the equation:

0. of the perpendicular line,

,

1. and the parallel line,

to the given line that passes through the point (-2, 3).

1) Perpendicular line

The equation of the perpendicular line has the form:

[tex]y=m_p\cdot(x-x_0)+y_0.[/tex]

Where mₚ is the slope, and (x₀, y₀) = (-2, 3).

From the equation of the given line, we see that its slope is m = 7. The slope of the perpendicular line mₚ is given by the equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\cdot m_p=-1, \\ 7\cdot m_p=-1, \\ m_p=-\frac{1}{7}. \end{gathered}[/tex]

Replacing mₚ = -1/7 and (x₀, y₀) = (-2, 3) in the equation of the perpendicular line, we get:

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{7}\cdot(x-(-2))+3=-\frac{1}{7}\cdot(x+2)+3=-\frac{1}{7}\cdot x-\frac{2}{7}+3=-\frac{1}{7}\cdot x+\frac{19}{7}.[/tex]

2) Parallel line

The equation of the perpendicular line has the form:

[tex]y=m_p\cdot(x-x_0)+y_0.[/tex]

Where mₚ is the slope, and (x₀, y₀) = (-2, 3).

From the equation of the given line, we see that its slope is m = 7. The parallel line has the same slope as the given line, so we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m_p=m, \\ m_p=7. \end{gathered}[/tex]

Replacing mₚ = 7 and (x₀, y₀) = (-2, 3) in the equation of the parallel line, we get:

[tex]y=7\cdot(x-(-2))+3=7\cdot(x+2)+3=7x+14+3=7x+17.[/tex]
