Ashley runs a hardware store. she has decided to apply a markdown of 15% to one item in order to draw customers into the store, and she will apply a markup of 10% to three different items, which she hopes the customers will purchase after purchasing the marked-down item. she has chosen four candidates for this process: a power drill with an initial price of $51.49, a ceiling fan with an initial price of $64.79, a miniature circular saw with an initial price of $45.99, and a screwdriver set with an initial price of $37.39. after applying the changes, the total cost of purchasing one of each item is $3.77 more than it was before applying the changes. which item was marked down?

a.
power drill
b.
ceiling fan
c.
circular saw
d.
screwdriver set

correct answer is option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

so Ashley has markdown one item by 15%

and mark up other items by 10% to get $3.77

assuming she marked ceiling fan mark down by 15%

if each  item is sold

  =  0.85 ×  $64.79 +1.1 × $51.49 +1.1 ×  $45.99 + 1.1 × $37.39

  = $203.4285

profit

= $203.4285 - $64.79 -$51.49 - $45.99 -$37.39

=$3.7685   ≅$3.77

hence ceiling fan price will be draw down by 15%

hence correct answer is option b.

you answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
