An online furniture store sells chairs for $200 each and tables for $600 each. Every day, the store can ship a maximum of 32 pie
wolverine [178]

Answer:

If the minimum 13 chair were sold , then the minimum number of Table sold is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of each chair = $ 200

The cost of each table = $ 600

The total number of furniture sold per day = 32

The minimum amount of selling per day = $ 12000

Let the total number of chair = C

The total number of table = T

So , according to question

C + T = 32         .......1

200 C + 600 T = 12000         .......2

Solving eq 1 and 2

200 C + 600 T = 12000

200 × ( C + T ) = 32 × 200

I.e 200 C + 200 T = 6400

or, ( 200 C + 600 T ) - ( 200 C + 200 T ) = 12,000 - 6400

Or, 400 T =  5600

∴  T = \frac{5600}{400}

I.e T = 14

Put The value of T in eq 2

So, 200 C + 600 × 14 = 12000

or , 200 C + 8400 = 12,000

Or, 200 C = 12000 - 8400

Or, 200 C = 3600

∴   C = \frac{3600}{200}

I.e C = 18

The number of chair sold is 18

If the number of chair sold is 13 ,

Then the min number of table sold = 200 × 18 + 600 T = 12000

i.e 600 T = 12000 - 3600

or, 600 T = 8400

∴   T = \frac{8400}{600}

I.e T = 14

Hence if the minimum 13 chair were sold , then the minimum number of Table sold is 14 . Answer

Emma borrowed $300 to repair her car. the finance (interest) charge on the loan was $20, and the term on the loan was 14 days. w
Murrr4er [49]
Given:
loan amount = 300
finance charge = 20
term = 14 days.

To solve for APR.
<span>1. Divide the finance charge by the loan amount.
20/300 = 0.0667

2. Multiply the result by 365. 
0.0667 x 365 = 24.35

3. Divide the result by the term of the loan.
24.35/14 = 1.74 (APR in decimal format)
<span>
4. Multiply the result by 100.
1.74 x 100 = 174% APR</span></span>

Report Error Suppose $P(x)$ is a polynomial of smallest possible degree such that: $\bullet$ $P(x)$ has rational coefficients $\
motikmotik

Answer:

We want a polynomial of smallest degree with rational coefficients with zeros in \sqrt{7}, 1 - \sqrt{6} and -3. The last root gives us the factor (x+3). Hence, our polynomial is

P(x) =(x+3)q(x)

where q is a polynomial with rational coefficients and roots \sqrt{7} and 1 - \sqrt{6}. The root \sqrt{7} gives us a factor x-\sqrt{7}, but in order to obtain rational coefficients we must consider the factor x^2-7.

An analogue idea works with 1 - \sqrt{6}. For convenience write  x - 1 + \sqrt{6} = ( x - 1) + \sqrt{6}. This gives the factor (x-1)^2-6. Hence,

P(x) = (x+3)(x^2-7)((x-1)^2-6)=x^5+x^4-18x^3-22x^2+77x+105

Notice that P(-1)=24. So, in order to satisfy the last condition we divide by 3 the whole polynomial, without altering its roots. Finally, the wanted polynomial is

P(x) =(1/3)x^5+(1/3)x^4-6x^3-(22/3)x^2+(77/3)x+35

Step-by-step explanation:

We must have present that any polynomial it's determined by its roots up to a constant factor. But here we have irrational ones, in order to eliminate the irrational coefficients that a factor of the type x-\sqrt7 will introduce in the expression, we need to multiply by its conjugate x+\sqrt7. Hence, we will obtain x^2-7 that have rational coefficients. Finally, the last condition is given with the intention to fix the constant factor. Usually it is enough to evaluate in the point and obtain the necessary factor.

EVELYN HAD 9 DOLLS, BUT SHE LOST 1/3RD OF THEM AT DAYCARE. HOW MANY TOTAL DOLLS WOULD EVELYN HAVE HAD IF SHE HAD NOT LOST THEM?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Total Dolls would Evelyn have had if she had not lost them = 9 Dolls

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Total dolls Evelyn had = 9

Total dolls lost = \frac{1}{3}× 9 = 3

So, Now

Evelyn had total dools after lost = 9 - 3 = 6

If she had not lost te dolls , then she had 3 dolls more

∴ we get

If she had not lost any dolls , Evelyn had total dolls = 6 + 3 = 9

So, The answer would be :

Total Dolls would Evelyn have had if she had not lost them = 9 Dolls
