If we take that 1.10 is the 100%
then we add 35% to that,
how much is that?
well \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
price&\%\\

1.10&100\\
x&100+35
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1.10}{x}=\cfrac{100}{100+35}

solve for "x"

Answer:

each praline should be sold for $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Aunt Sally's cost on making each pralines = $1.10

Making cost of 45 pralines = 45 × 1.10 = $49.5

Let total selling price of all pralines = s

Markup is 35% of selling price then,

s = 49.50 + 0.35s

s - 0.35s = 49.50

0.65s = 49.50

s = 49.50 ÷ 0.65

s = $76.15

It is given that 15% pralines gets spoiled  

The remaining number of pralines = (45 - ( 15% of 45))

= 45 - (0.15 × 45)

= 45 - 6.75 = 38.25

that means 38.25 pralines will be used to cover total sale of  $76.15

We have to calculate each pralines price so

76.15 ÷ 38.25 = 1.99 ≈ $2.00

To check

Total sale = 76.15

Total cost = 49.50

Margin = 26.65

26.65/76.15 × 100 = 34.996 ≈ 35% of sale

Answer:

B. 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

This question asks us to find (-2), or f(x) when x is equal to -2.

We know that f(x)=5^x. We also know that we are trying to find f(-2). Therefore, we must substitute -2 in for x.

f(x)=5^x

x= -2

f(-2)= 5^-2

Negative exponents follow the rule:

x^-b= 1/x^b

Rewrite the exponent according to this rule.

5^-2=1/5^2

f(-2)= 1/5^2

Evaluate the exponent in the denominator.

5^2=5*5=25

f(-2)=1/25

f(-2) is equal to 1/25, therefore B is the correct answer.

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is:
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

given a data set of 33 unique whole number observation,its five number sumary is [16, 29, 40 ,54, 67]

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-th percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is a value such that p% of the data is less than that value. The quartiles of a data set are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles. (The 25th percentile is usually called the first quartile, the 50th percentile is usually called the median, and the 75th percentile is usually called the third quartile.)

The formula for finding the location (or position) of the (approximate) pth percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is  

L p=(n+1).p/100

For example, in the data set  [2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18]

the (approximate) 60th percentile is located at position  

L 60=(9+1).60/100=6

that is, the sixth data point (the value 12) is at the (approximate) 60th percentile.(Actually, only 55.6% of the data is below a 12.)

Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step
Lilit [14]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is attached.

In order to solve this exercise, it is necessary to remember the following property:

The Multiplication property of Equality states that:

If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c

In this case, the equation that Jada had is the folllowing:

-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{x}{108}

Jada needed to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value.

The correct procedure to solve for for "x" is to multiply both sides of the equation by 108. Then, you get:

(108)(-\frac{4}{9})=(\frac{x}{108})(108)\\\\-48=x

As you can notice in the picture, Jada did not multiply both sides of the equation by 108, but multiplied the left side by -\frac{4}{9}<em>  </em>and the right side by -\frac{9}{4}.

Therefore,you can conclude that Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.

Your new flashlight uses a parabolic mirror which can be modeled by the equation (x – 2)² = 5(y + 1), where x and y are measured
Ksju [112]
The given equation is
(x - 2)² = 5(y + 1).

The given equation for the parabola is in the standard form
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
where
h = 2
4p = 5,    so that  p = 5/4
k = -1

The vertex is at 
(h,k) or (2, -1)

The focus is located at
(h, k + p) or (2, -1 + 5/4) = (2, 1/4)

We should place the bulb at p = 5/4 from the vertex.

Answer: 1 1/4 or 1.25 cm

If the farmer has 234 feet of fencing, what are the dimensions of the region which enclose the maximal area?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: 58 ft × 58 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the region = x feet

And, the width of the region = y feet

Since, the perimeter of the region = 234 feet ( Given )

⇒ 2(x+y) = 234

⇒ x+y = 117

⇒ y = 117 - x

Again the area of the region, A = xy

⇒ A(x) = x(117-x)

⇒ A(x) = 117x - x^2

By differentiating the above equation with respect to x,

⇒ A'(x) = 117 - 2x  

For maxima or minima,

A'(x) = 0

\implies 117 - 2x = 0

\implies -2x = -117

\implies x = 58.5

Again differentiating equation A'(x) with respect to x,

We get, A''(x) = -2

Hence, For x = 58.5 A''(x) = negative

⇒ For x = 58.5 feet the area A(x) is maximum,

⇒ The length of the region having maximum area = x = 58.5 feet

And, the width of the region having maximum area = y = 117-x= 117 - 58.5=58.5 feet,

⇒ The dimension of the region having the maximum area = 58.5 ft × 58.5 ft
