Answer:

The store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount the clothing store pay for Jean be X

Let the amount the clothing store sells Jean be Y = X ×1.15

The profit (P) made is the difference between amount the clothing store sells Jean and the amount paid for Jean = Y - X = 1.15X - X

Profit (P)  = 0.15X

X =  P/0.15 = 6.67P

Therefore, the store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans

skad [1K]

Answer:

3876

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Fraternity members = 20

They are to attend 5 different parties in groups of 4

Meaning a group = 4 persons

Atleast one brother will attend exactly one of the parties. (the brothers are indistinguishable).

Then, exactly one brother at a party (20 - 1) = 19, since they are indistinguishable.

Group members are in 4's

19C4

From: nCr = n! /(n-r)! r!

19C4 = 19! / (19 - 4)! 4!

= 19! / 15! 4!

= (19 * 18 * 17 * 16) / (4 * 3 * 2)

= 93024 / 24

= 3876

Find the functions y-intercept algebraically
grigory [225]
To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y. If the equation is written in the slope-intercept form, plug in the slope and the x and y coordinates for a point on the line to solve y. Hope this helped! :)

Artyom0805 [142]
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 2/9 ------> 3/5
 x ---------> 1
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (1 / (3/5)) * (2/9)
 Rewriting we have:
 x = (5/3) * (2/9)
 x = 10/27
 Answer:
 
he irons 10/27 of his shirt every minute
