Suppose that you are a manager of a clothing store and have just purchased 100 shirts for $15 each. After a month of selling the shirts at the regular price, you plan to have a sale giving 30% of the original selling price. However ,you want to make a profit of $6 on each shirt at the sale price. What should you price the shirts at initially to ensure this?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: He should set the original price at $27.30

Answer 2

Answer: When you say "Plan to have a sale giving 30% of the original selling price", I suppose it's taking away 30%? So taking away 30% is like $15 - $4.5 = $10.50
Adding $6 more is $16.50.
If you're saying the manager is selling the price 30% of $15 then the price is $4.50 Plus the $6, it should be $10.50

So the answer should either be $16.50 or $10.50
Hope this helps! :)

Woman is an adult

1. We compute how many adults
$180 * (3)/(5) = (180*3)/(5) = (540)/(5) = 108$

2 1/4 of adults are women

108 * 1/4 = 28

Using the distributive property to find the product (y – 4)(y2 + 4y + 16) results in a polynomial of the form y3 + 4y2 + ay – 4y2 – ay – 64. What is the value of a in the polynomial?

Answers

( y - 4 ) ( y² + 4 y + 16 ) = y³ + 4 y² + 16 y - 4 y² - 16 y - 64
The result is a polynomial of the form:
y³ + 4 y² + a y - 4 y² - a y + 64;
Answer: a = 16

If h(2) = 3 and h'(2) = -7, find d/dx(h(x)/x) x = 2.

Answers

Answer: -17/4

Work Shown

$\frac{d}{d\text{x}}\left(\frac{h(\text{x})}{\text{x}}\right) = \frac{\frac{d}{d\text{x}}(h(\text{x}))*\text{x}-h(\text{x})*\frac{d}{d\text{x}}(\text{x})}{\text{x}^2} \ \text{ .... quotient rule}\n\n\frac{d}{d\text{x}}\left(\frac{h(\text{x})}{\text{x}}\right) = \frac{h'(\text{x})*\text{x} - h(\text{x})}{\text{x}^2}\n\n$

Evaluate that at x = 2.

$\frac{h'(\text{x})*\text{x} - h(\text{x})}{\text{x}^2}\n\n=(h'(2)*2 - h(2))/(2^2)\n\n=(-7*2 - 3)/(2^2)\n\n=-(17)/(4)\n\n$

Therefore,

$\frac{d}{d\text{x}}\left(\frac{h(\text{x})}{\text{x}}\right)=-(17)/(4) \ \text{ when h(2) = 3, h'(2) = -7, and x = 2}\n\n$

You earn $420 per week. You pay social security taxes of 7.65%, federal taxes of 22%, and state taxes of 5.95%. What is your take home pay?

Answers

If you would like to know what is your take home pay, you can calculate this using the following steps:

social security taxes: $420 - 7.65% * $420 = 420 - 7.65/100 * 420 = $387.87
federal taxes: $387.87 - 22% * $387.87 = 387.87 - 22/100 * 387.87 = $302.54
state taxes: $302.54 - 5.95% * $302.54 = 302.54 - 5.95/100 * 302.54 = $284.54

Your take home pay would be $284.54.

The height of water shooting from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = -4x2 + 24x - 29 where x is the distance from the spout in feet. Complete the square to determine the maximum height of the path of the water. -4(x - 3)2 - 29; The maximum height of the water is 3 feet.
-4(x - 3)2 - 29; The maximum height of the water is 29feet.
-4(x - 3)2 + 7; The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.
-4(x - 3)2 + 7; The maximum height of the water is 3 feet.

Answers

yo don't need max height
yo use 'find vertex' equestion

since leading term is negative, this equation has a max

the vertex is the max
in the form
y=ax^2+bx+c
vertex=-b/2a

-4x^2+24x-29
a=-4
b=24

vertex=-24/(2*-4)=-24/-8=3

max height is 3 feet
dunno wat the compete square is

I can do that fo ou though
move -29 off to side and undistriute -4
-4(x^2-6x)-29
complete the square, take 1/2 of -6 an square it andadd 0
-4(x^2-6x+9-9)-29
complete square
-4((x-3)^2-9)-29
move the 9 out by distributing the -9 to the -4
36
-4(x-3)^2+36-29
-4(x-3)^2+7

answer is 3rd option

Answer: The correct answer for this question is option...

(C) −4(x − 3)2 + 7; The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.
