Brandon bought hot peppers to sell in the market.
he bought 8 bags with 60 pepper in each.
he paid $0.25 for one pepper.
when brandon reached in the market he discovered
that 12 1/2% of the peppers were squashed and could not be sold.
at what price he must sell the remaining peppers if he wishes to make a profit of $90.00

Step-by-step explanation:

so he bought 8 bags of peppers with 60 peppers in each bag...

8 * 60 = 480 peppers

he paid 0.25 for each pepperso he paid 0.25 * 480 = $ 120

so his expenses = $ 120

so out of his 480 peppers, 12 1/2% (or 12.5%) could not be sold.

12.5% of 480 = 0.125(480) = 60...so 60 could not be sold, leaving him with (480 - 60) = 420 peppers

profit = revenue - expenses

let x = cost of the peppers

420x - 120 = 90

420x = 90 + 120

420x = 210

x = 210/420

x = 0.50 < he would have to sell the remaining peppers at $ 0.50 each

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)
