A box of spaghetti at the grocery store is purchased for $1.60 wholesale and is marked up by 60 percent. Then, the store marks down the item by 20 percent. A customer wants to buy three boxes of spaghetti. How much will the customer pay, including paying 8 percent sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is $8.29

Step-by-step explanation:

1.60 marked up by 60% in decimal form is .60

multiply that .60 by 1.60 and you get .64

you add .64 to 1.60 and you get 2.56

you multiply 2.56 by 3 and you get 7.68

you have a 8% sales tax so you multiply 0.08 by 7.68

you will get .61 you add that to 7.68 to get $8.29

Answer 2

Answer:

$6.64

Step-by-step explanation:

When the price of an item is marked up by a percentage, the new price (after markup) is result when the product of the percentage and the original price added  to the original price.

The price after markdown is similar to the mark up except that the product of the percentage and the original price is subtracted from the original price.

Hence when a box of spaghetti at the grocery store is purchased for $1.60 wholesale and is marked up by 60 percent, the new price

=60% * $1.60 + $1.60

$2.56

If the store marks down the item by 20 percent, then the new price becomes

= $2.56 - 20% * $2.56

= $2.048

If a customer wants to buy 3, the price

= $2.048 * 3

= $6.144

Including 8% tax, the price becomes

=$6.144 + 8% * $6.144

= $6.63552

To the nearest cent

= $6.64

The other job is at a restaurant and pays $12 an hour. Which job has a higher hourly rate?

Answers

Answer:

van : 12 miles per gallon

cabinets: 3 cabinets a day

retail job for $500

Step-by-step explanation:

van: 240 miles/20 gallons = 12 miles per gallon

cabinets: 24/8= 3

jobs: $500 for 40 hours and $12 times 40 hours gets you $480

first job pays $20 bucks more

Answer with explanation:

Ques 1)

A van travels 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas.

This means that 20 gallons of gas is used to travel 240 miles.

This means that:

1 gallon of gas is used to travel  :

              [tex]\dfrac{240}{20}=12\ miles[/tex]

Hence, it travels 12 miles per gallon.

Ques 2)

Carlos installed 24 wooden cabinets in 8 days.

i.e. in 8 days he install 24 cabinets

This means in 1 day he will install

[tex]\dfrac{24}{8}=3\ cabinets[/tex]

On the average, he will  install 3 cabinets each day.

Ques 3)

100 sheets cost $ 2.50

This means that cost of 1 sheet is: $ 0.0250

( since,   [tex]\dfrac{2.50}{100}=0.0250[/tex] )

150 sheets at $3.50

This means that cost of 1 sheet is: $ 0.0233

( since,  [tex]\dfrac{3.50}{150}=0.02333[/tex] )

This means that the cost per sheet is cheaper in the buy:

    150 sheets at $3.50.

Ques 4)

Pack A has 36 cookies for $5.90.

This means that cost of 1 cookie is: $ 0.16388 )

(  since,  [tex]\dfrac{5.90}{36}=0.16388[/tex] )

and  Pack B has 24 cookies for $4.10.

This means that cost of 1 cookie is: $ 0.170833

( since, [tex]\dfrac{4.10}{24}=0.170833[/tex] )

The cost per cookie is cheaper in Pack A.

Hence, the pack which has cheaper cookies is: Pack A.

Ques 5)

One is in retail and pays $500 for a 40-hour work week.

This means that the payment for 1 hour is: $ 12.5

( since, [tex]\dfrac{500}{40}=12.5[/tex] )

The other job is at a restaurant and pays $12 an hour.

This means that the job which has a higher hourly rate is:

In retail which pays $500 for a 40-hour work week.      

( since 12.5>12  )

how much of the circle is shaded? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
1/4 & 2/7

Answers

Based on the information given, it can be concluded that 35% of the circle is shaded, which is equivalent to the fraction 7/20.

What area of the circle is shaded?

To understand what area of the circle is shaded, let's first calculate how much is not shaded:

First area: 1/4 = 0.25

Second area: 2/5 = 0.4

Total of the area that is not shaded: 0.65

The total area shaded: 1 -0.65 = 0.35

This means that the total shaded is 0.35. Now, let's convert 0.35 to a fraction:

[tex]\frac{35}{100} = \frac{7}{20}[/tex]

Based on this, the shaded area is 7/20

using a scale, or rate, of 1/4 inch per foot, calculate the rooms dimensions for your drawing

Answers

Answer: 81 in. (6.75 ft.) by 60 in. (5 ft.)

First, convert 27 ft. and 20 ft. to inches to make it easier to work with. This would convert like this:

27 ft. x 12 in. = 324 in.

20 ft. x 12 in. = 240 in.

This also means that the scale converts to 1/4 in. = 12 in.

Now, take your 324 in. and 240 in. and apply them to the scale.

For every 12 in. (1 ft.) in the non-scale room dimensions, there will be one 1/4 in. on the scale. That would apply like this:

324 in. (27 ft.) x

1/4 in. =81 in. [or 6.75 ft.]

240 in. (20 ft.) x

1/4 in. = 60 in. [or 5 ft.]

Given the rectangle ABCD, AB has a slope of 2/3, what is the slope of BC?

Answers

If ABCD is the rectangle, then AB and BC are perpendicular.

Let m₁ and m₂ - slopes of perpendicular lines. Therefore

m₁m₂ = -1 → m₂ = -1/m₁.

We have m₁ = 2/3 then m₂ = -1/(2/3) = -3/2.

Answer: The slope of BC is -3/2.

The slope of BC is -3/2.

What is the Point-slope form?

The equation of the straight line has its slope and given point.

If we have a non-vertical line that passes through any point(x1, y1) has gradient m. then general point (x, y) must satisfy the equation

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

We are given ABCD is the rectangle, then AB and BC are perpendicular.

Let m₁ and m₂ are slopes of perpendicular lines. Therefore.

m₁m₂ = -1

m₂ = -1/m₁.

We have m₁ = 2/3 then;

m₂ = -1/(2/3) = -3/2.

Hence, The slope of BC is -3/2.

So here are the rules with change by percentage (m = percentage in decimal form, n = original, and r = new):

distibutive property

Answers

Answer:

Everything should simplify down to -9a-3 (your answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is basically multiplying the outside number into the inside parenthesis ().  Basically #(a)--->#a        or   #(a+b)---> #a+#b

Since you're not ask to solve for anything but simplify, just multiply 3 to -3a and -1.....

so 3*-3a is -9a and 3*-1 is -3      and you have 3(-3a-1)= -9a-3

Final answer:

The distributive property is a mathematical property that allows us to distribute multiplication over addition or subtraction. It helps simplify expressions and perform calculations more efficiently in algebra and arithmetic.

Explanation:

The distributive property is a mathematical property that allows us to distribute multiplication over addition or subtraction. It states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the expression a * (b + c) is equal to a * b + a * c. This property helps us simplify expressions and perform calculations more efficiently.

For example, if we have the expression 3 * (2 + x), we can use the distributive property to simplify it to 3 * 2 + 3 * x, which becomes 6 + 3x. This allows us to break down the calculations into smaller steps and avoid errors.

The distributive property is one of the fundamental properties of multiplication and is widely used in algebra and arithmetic.

A pizza delivery worker purchased a used motor scooter that had been driven 12,100 miles. He drives the motor scooter only on days he is working, during which he drives an average of 50 miles per day. After d days of pizza delivery, the motor scooter has been driven a total of 25,000 miles. Which of the following equations best models this situation?

Answers

Final answer:

The equation that best models the situation of the pizza delivery worker's scooter mileage is 50d = 12,900, where d represents the number of days worked.

Explanation:

The question asks us to find out which equation best models the situation where a pizza delivery worker drives a certain number of miles after d days of pizza delivery. To start, the worker bought a scooter with 12,100 miles on it. Each day of work he adds 50 miles to the total. After d days of delivery, the total miles driven on the scooter equals 25,000. We are looking for an equation that represents this scenario.

The total mileage on the motor scooter after d days can be calculated by the initial mileage plus the product of the number of days and the average miles driven per day. Mathematically, this is represented by:

12,100 miles + 50 miles/day × d days = 25,000 miles

To find the equation that models this situation, we subtract 12,100 from both sides to isolate the term with d on one side:

50d = 25,000 - 12,100

So, the equation that models this situation is:

50d = 12,900
