The percentage of LED bulbs is calculated as (360,000 / 450,000) * 100% = 80%.
Express the inventory with b = 2000 + (30 - 28)t, where the initial inventory is 2000 books, it receives 30 books and sells 28 each month, so the net change is +2 books per month.
To find the time taken, divide the distance by the speed: time = 108 km / 18 km/h = 6 hours.
The equation of the line is y = 5x + 10. A line with slope 5 passing through point (0, 10) can be represented as y = mx + b. Here, m (the slope) is 5, and b (y-intercept) is 10.
The positive solution to the equation is x = 0. Solving 3|1 − x| + 6|1 − x| = 27 gives 9|1 − x| = 27, simplifying to |1 − x| = 3. The solutions are x = 1 ± 3, hence x = 4 or x = -2. The positive solution is x = 4.
The graphs of y = x + 2 and y = 2x intersect at one point in the xy-plane. By setting x + 2 = 2x, we solve for x to find x = 2, giving the intersection point (2, 4).
The corresponding angle in the second triangle also measures 50° because similar triangles have equal corresponding angles.
The half-life affects the function by determining the rate at which the substance decreases to half. For a substance with a half-life of 5 years, the function can be expressed as R(t) = 100 * (1/2)^(t/5), where 100 grams is the initial amount.
Substitution or graphical methods can solve the system. By substituting or plotting the equations y = x^2 - 4 and y = -6x - 13, a common solution found is the ordered pair (-3, 5).
The manager uses the equation Total Budget = Price per Desk * Number of Desks * (1 + Tax Rate). Given the budget of $5,000 and sales tax of 9%, and needing to purchase 25 desks, calculate backwards: $5,000 = Price * 25 * 1.09 gives a price around $182.09 per desk before tax.
