Smoothie stand at utah’s wasatch county’s demolition derby sells bananas. if john bought 55 lbs. of bananas at $.24 per pound expecting 10% to spoil, how should he price his bananas to achieve 59% on selling price?

$0.2332 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

John's smoothie stand sells bananas. John bought 55 pounds of bananas at $0.24 per pound  expecting 10% to spoil.

The amount was spent in purchasing bananas = 55 × 0.24 = $13.20

A mark-up of 59% means multiply the amount spent by 1.59.

$13.20 × 1.59 = $20.988

After selling the bananas he want to have $20.988

Since 10% of the 55 lbs of bananas are expected to spoil. This implies, 90% of bananas can be sold.

100 × 0.9 = 90

Now divide the total price ( 20.988 ) by the number of good bananas (90 lbs)

to get the price per pound they should charge.

= 0.2332

John should charge about $0.2332 per pound.

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

use google you idiot omg you're so annoying
