Marcus purchased 80 shares of stock in a computer company at $74.19 per share and Taylor purchased 65 shares of stock in a diffe

rent computer company for $85.21 per share. After holding the stock for two years, Marcus sold his for a total of $6,404.57, and Taylor sold hers for a total of $6,192.83. Which person had a higher ROI and by how much?

Answer: Taylor, by 3.9 pp ($184.81)

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcus: Invested 80 x 74.19 = 5935.20

Taylor: Invested 65 x 85.21 = 5538.65

After 2 y

Marcus: Sold for 6404.57

Taylor: Sold for 6192.83

Net profit

Marcus: 6404.57 - 5935.20 = 469.37

Taylor: 6192.83 - 5538.65 = 654.18

ROI

Marcus: 469.37/5935.20 * 100 = 7.91%

Taylor: 654.18/5538.65 * 100 = 11.81%

Taylor had a higher ROI by 3.9 percentage points (11.81 - 7.91)

This pencil cup is made out of plastic. It is 5 inches tall and has a radius of 1.75 inches. How many square inches of plastic w
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

To make the cup 64.57 square inches of plastic were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cup has the format of a cylinder with a open top. The surface area of the cup is given by the area of it's base (a circle) and the area of it's walls, wich can be seen as rectangle where the width is the length of the circle at the base and the height is the height of the cylinder. So we have:

area of the base = pi*r^2 = 3.14*(1.75)^2 = 3.14*3.0625 = 9.616 square inches

area of the walls = 2*pi*r*h = 2*3.14*(1.75)*5 = 54.95 square inches

surface area of the cup = area of the base + area of the walls = 9.616 + 54.95

surface area of the cup = 64.57 square inches

To make the cup 64.57 square inches of plastic were used.

Javier writes an integer on a piece of paper. The absolute value of his number is less than 4. Which is true of the possible val
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expression |x| < 4 where x is unknown. To her the possible values of x, we must undeterstand that the absolute value of a number returns both positive and negative value.

Hence |x| can either return +x or -x

If x is positive, the inequality expression will be x<4.

If the value of x is negative, then -x<4

From -x<4

Multiply both sides by minus sign will change the sense of the inequality sign.

-(-x) > -4

x>-4

If x is greater than -4, then -4<x.

Combining both inequality will give;

-4 < x and x<4

-4<x<4

Hence the possible values of Javier's number are integers between -4 and 4.

The values are -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

Jacqueline earned a commission of $200 for one week at work. her commission rate is 12% of the merchandise she sells. how much m
guajiro [1.7K]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

m: original quantity of merchandise sold (in $)

We then have the following idea:

(original amount) (percent) = new amount

The new amount is the amount that Jacqueline earns for 12% of the commission on sales.

We have then:

m (0.12) = 200

Clearing m we have:

m =\frac{200}{0.12}\\m = 1666.7

  Answer:

The equation that solves the problem is:

m (0.12) = 200

The amount she sold is:

m = 1666.7

The line with the equation 4/5x +1/3y=1 is graphed one the xy-plane. What is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept of the line?
leva [86]

Answer:

x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept looks like (x, 0); the coordinate 0 indicates that the point lies on the x-axis.  If we start with 4/5x + 1/3 y= 1 and let y = 0, we will get an equation for the x-intercept:

(4/5)x + (1/3)(0) =1

Then 4/5x = 1, and (5/4)(4/5)x = (1)(4/5).

Thus, x = 4/5, and the x-intercept is (4/5, 0).

James folds a piece of paper in half several times,each time unfolding the paper to count how many equal parts he sees. After fo
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

The needed function is y = 2 ^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the piece of paper James decides to fold is a SQUARE.

Now, let us assume:

n : the number of times the paper is folded.

y : The number of parts obtained after folds.

Now, if the paper if folded ONCE ⇒  n = 1

Also, when the pap er is folded once, the parts obtained are TWO equal parts.

⇒  for n = 1 , y = 2       ..... (1)

Similarly, if the paper if folded TWICE  ⇒  n = 2

Also, when the paper is folded twice, the parts obtained are FOUR equal parts.

⇒  for n = 2 , y = 4       ..... (2)

⇒y  = 2^2  =  2^n

Continuing the same way, if the paper is folded SEVEN times  ⇒  n = 7

So, y = 2^ n = 2^7 = 128

⇒  There are total 128 equal parts.

Lastly,  if the paper is folded ELEVEN  times  ⇒  n = 11

So, y = 2^ n = 2^{11} = 2048

⇒  There are total 2048 equal parts.

Hence, there will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

And the needed function is y = 2 ^n
