<u>Solution-</u>
The amount of money that Cheryl has = $56
The cost of each notebook = $1.60
n = the maximum number of notebooks she can buy with her money
Then cost of n notebooks will be,
As Cheryl has $56, so she can spend any amount less than or equal to $56. She can not spend more than $56, as she does not have more than that.
Hence, the inequality becomes,

First, plot the points in a graph to see the general trend. The independent variable is time. I used MS Excel to plot the points in a graph, as shown in the attached picture.
1. The relationship is linear as shown in the general trend.
2. The relationship presents that as time increases, the number of apartments cleaned also increases. The two variables are directly proportional.
3. The rate of change represents the slope of the line. Choose any two points and find the slope.
m = (6-3)/(2-1) = 3 apartments cleaned/hour

Answer:
The final amount if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase is 807.52.
Step-by-step explanation:
General Formula
<em>A way to solve this problem is as follows</em>:
The general formula for this is taking into account that:
The <em>starting point</em> is number 784.
The most important key is the solution for this answer is that:
Where <em>x</em> is a number that we need to find. Then
[1]
Is 784 increased or decreased after all?
We also need to evaluate the following: if a quantity decreases a percentage, and then increases in another percentage, what is the final percentage? In this case, we have first that 784 decreases by 1% and then increases by 4%. As a result 784 will +4% - 1% = +3%, that is, 784 will increase in 3%.
Finding the result
If 784 increases by 3%, we have:
Which is equal to
Solving for <em>x</em>, we first multiply by 784 to both sides of the previous formula:
Remember that if we add, subtract, multiply, divide... to both sides of the equation, we do not "alter" this equation.
Subtracting 784 to both sides:
Multiplying by -1 to both sides:
We have to remember that:
Then
Therefore, using formula [1], an increase of 3% is
Since an increase of 3% is 23.52, we have to add this to the starting point 784, and finally the amount is 784 + 23.52 = 807.52.
As a result, the final amount if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase is 807.52.
In a more <em>terse way</em> of solving this problem, we can say that:
Increase of 4% = 784 * 0.04 = 31.36.
Decrease of 1% = 784 * 0.01 = 7.84.
Difference = 31.36 - 7.84 = 23.52.
Then, we need to add this value to 784, and 784 + 23.52 = 807.52 (the same result).
Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.
Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.
Let us say original price was $x.
Now price after markup is $2.
So we can make an equation like:
original price + markup price = price after markup
x + 60% of x =2
dividing both sides by 1.6
x= 1.25
So original price was 1.25 dollars.
