Answer:

Cost price of each cup = 1500/6 = 250

Selling price of each cup = 1650/5 = 330

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of cups = 1500

Profit = 10%

Selling price of cups = ?

Profit and loss percentage are calculated based on cost price and the formula to calculate profit is mentioned as under:

Profit percentage (%) = Profit x 100/Cost price

10 = Profit x 100/1500

⇒ Profit = 10 x 1500/100

⇒ Profit = 150

The formula for finding selling price is mentioned as under:

Selling Price = Profit + Cost Price.

Selling Price = 150 + 1500

⇒ Selling Price = 1650.

Since one of the six cups was broken that means the seller earned profit based on only 5 cups, it implies that selling price of each cup will be 1650/5 = 330.

Elijah and Jonathan play on the same soccer team. They have played 3 of their 15,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Only Elijah's model is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given in the question tells us they have 12 games left on their soccer team. Each one of them tried to simulate the fact by creating some model which look like a balance between quantities.

Elijah placed 3 cubes of value 1 and a cube of value x on one side of a balance. On the other side, he placed 15 cubes of value 1. He was obviously modeling the fact that 15 cubes (games due to play in our case) should be equal to 3 cubes (games already played) plus the x numbers left to play

This model if perfect, since the only way to equilibrate the balance is setting x to 12, the games left to play

Jonathan used a table with 3 x's in a row and a 15 in the second row, trying to model the same situation. To our interpretation, this table doesn't show the number of games left to play. If we equate 3x = 15, we get x=5 which has nothing to do with the situation explained in the question, so this model is not correct.

The builder receives a 20% contractor's discount, plus and additional 3% for paying in full within 30 days. Tax on building mate
erastova [34]

Answer:

$1340.49

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image

Subtotal Cost of Purchased Items

= (20  \times 16.69)+(2 \times 20.78)+(2  \times 15.58)+(6  \times 21.38)\\+(118  \times 6.60)+(500  \times 0.22)+(10  \times 8.44)+(1  \times 150)\\\\=\$1658

Since the builder receives a 20% contractor's discount, plus and additional 3% for paying in full within 30 days.

Discount = 23% of $1658 = 0.23 X 1658 =$381.34

Total (Less Discount) = 1658-381.34 = $1276.66

Tax on building materials is 5%.

Therefore:

Tax = 5% of $1276.66=0.05 X 1276.66

Tax=$63.83

Therefore, the total bill:

=$1276.66+63.83

Grand Total =$1340.49

The hourly wage increases each employee receives each year depends on the number of years of service. Every three years of servi
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

________{0.50 if x < 3

________{1.00 if 3 ≤ x < 6

f(x) = ____{1.50 if 6 ≤ x < 9

________{2.00 if 9 ≤ x < 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information above :

Less than Employees = $0.5 increase per hour

Atleast 3 but less than 6 years employees = $1.00 increase per hour

Atleast 6 but less than 9 years employees = $1.50 increase per hour

Atleast 9 but less than 12 years employees = $2.00 increase per hour

The information above can be written as a piecewise function :

________{0.50 if x < 3

________{1.00 if 3 ≤ x < 6

f(x) = ____{1.50 if 6 ≤ x < 9

________{2.00 if 9 ≤ x < 12

The constraints is represented in the piecewise function above with x being the number of years since employee has been in service.
