Answer: The original cost was $27,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he paid for a delivery van = $35,620

Rate of markup = 30%

We need to find the cost.

Let the cost of delivery van would be 'x'.

So, Amount of markup would be

$\dfrac{30}{100}\times x\\\\=0.3x$

Amount after mark up would be

$x+0.3x\\\\=1.3x$

According to question, it becomes,

$1.3x=35620\\\\x=\dfrac{35620}{1.3}\\\\x=27,400$

Hence, the original cost was $27,400.

Find Percentage of the selling price:

100% + 30% = 130%

<u>Find 100% (Cost Price):</u>

130% = $35 620

1 % = $274

100% = $274 x 100 = $27 400

Answer: The cost of the delivery van is <u>$27400</u>

Susie’s Sweet Shop sells chocolate boxes that contain three types of chocolate truffles: solid chocolate truffles, cream center

olganol [36]

Let us make a list of all the details we have

We are given

The cost of each solid chocolate truffle = s

The cost of each cream centre chocolate truffle = c

The cos to each chocolate truffle with nuts = n

The first type of sweet box that contains 5 each of the three types of chocolate truffle costs $41.25

That is 5s+5c+5n = 41.25 (cost of each type of truffle multiplied by their respective costs and all added together)

The second type of sweet box that contains 10 solid chocolate trufles, 5 cream centre truffles and 10 chocolate truffles with nuts cost $68.75

That is 10s+5c+10n = $68.75

The third type of sweet box that contains 24 truffles evenly divided that is 12 each of solid chocolate truffle and chocolate truffle with nuts cost $66.00

That is 12s+12n=$66.00

Hence option C is the right set of equations that will help us solve the values of each chocolate truffle.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 –

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an algebraic polynomial of degree 5.

$g(x) = 3x^5-2x^4+9x^3-x^2+12\\$

Here leading term is p=3 and constant term is q =12

Factors of p are ±1,±2,±3

Factors of q are $\frac{±1,±2,±3,±4,±6,±12} \\$

Possible forms of p/q will be the same for any other polynomial of degree 5 with leading term =3 and constant term = 12

Hence any other polynomial

$g(x) = 3x^5+ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+12$

will have same possible zeroes of p/q, when a,b,c are rational.

Hence any polynomial of this type would have the same possible rational roots.

The average time an individual reads online national news reports is 49 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is 16 minutes and

Olin [163]

Answer:

0.118 is the probability someone will spend no more than 30 minutes reading online national news reports.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 49 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 16 minutes

We are given that the distribution of time an individual reads is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(no more than 30 minutes)

$P( x \leq 610) = P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{30 - 49}{16}) = P(z \leq -1.1875)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x \leq 30) = 0.118 = 11.8\%$

0.118 is the probability someone will spend no more than 30 minutes reading online national news reports.
