Answer:

$125,000.12 last year

$375,000.36 this year

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year, her profits were x.

This year, the profits are three times greater, so they are 3x.

Altogether for both years, the profits are x + 3x = 4x.

The profits for both years combined are $500,000.48

4x = 500,000.48

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 500,000.48/4

x = 125,000.12

The profits last year were $125,000.12

This year, the profits were 3x = 3(125,000.12) = 375,000.36, or $375,000.36

The amount of profit, p, you earn by selling knives, k, can be determined by: p=200k-500 a) Determine the constraints on profit
Natalka [10]
We are given with the formula
p = 200k - 500
a) The constraint for this formula is obtained from the idea that the profit must be positive
200k - 500 > 0 
k > 500/200
k > 2.5
b) To make 14000 profit
 14000 = 200k - 500
k = 72.5 or 73 knives must be sold

Assume that TUV=WXY which of the following congruence statements are correct
Damm [24]

Answer:

A and E are correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two triangle congruent.

If two triangles are congruent then their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

In ΔTUV ≅ ΔWXY

Now we write all the congruent sides and angles

  • ∠T=∠W
  • ∠U=∠X
  • ∠V=∠Y
  • TU≅WX
  • UV≅XY
  • TV≅WY

Now we see all the given option.

∠Y=∠V  (TRUE, Congruent part of congruence triangles)

∠W=∠T  (TRUE, Congruent part of congruence triangles)

Thus, A and E are correct option.

It is known that a cable with a​ cross-sectional area of 0.300.30 sq in. has a capacity to hold 2500 lb. If the capacity of the
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.84 square in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the capacity of the cable is proportional to its​ cross-sectional area. If a cable that is 0.3 sq in can hold 2500 lb then per square inch it can hold

2500 / 0.3 = 8333.33 lb/in

To old 7000 lb it the cross-sectional area would need to be

7000 / 8333.33 = 0.84 square in
