Calculate the difference between purchase and sales costs:

$52,000 - $42,000 = $10,000

Calculate what fraction of $52,000 is $10,000:

\dfrac{\$10,000}{\$52,000}=\dfrac{10}{52}=\dfrac{5}{26}

Transform it to the percent:

\dfrac{5}{26}=\dfrac{5}{26}\cdot100\%=\dfrac{500}{26}\%\approx19\%

<h3>Answer: A. 19%</h3>

<h3>Answer: 0.563 (choice C)</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

E = event space

E = set of outcomes we want to happen

E = rolling a multiple of 4 or rolling an odd prime number

E = {4,8,12,16     3,5,7,11,13}

n(E) = number of items in set E

n(E) = 9, (four multiples of 16+five ways to roll odd prime number)

-----

S = sample space

S = set of all possible outcomes (whether we want them to happen or not)

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16}

n(S) = number of items in set S

n(S) = 16

-----

P(E) = probability of event space occurring

P(E) = probability of rolling a multiple of 4 or rolling an odd prime number

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

P(E) = 9/16

P(E) = 0.5625

P(E) = 0.563

evablogger [386]

Answer:26

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=1.25^x-2/5-10

Take log of both sides

So Y+10=1.25^x-2/5

So log to base 10 of the two sides of the equation is

Log(Y+10)=X-2/5log1.25.

To make X the subject, divide both sides by log1.25.

Log(Y+10)/log1.25=X-2/5.

Recall that Y was given to be 115

It becomes log(115 +10)/Log1.25=x-0.4

21.64=x-0.4

X=25.6
