Series Discount This is a continuation of Exercise 11. Sometimes manufacturers give more than one discount instead of a single trade discount – for example, in trading with large-volume retailers. Such a series discount is quoted as a sequence of discounts, taken one after another. Suppose a manufacturer normally gives a trade discount of
a. Suppose an item has a suggested retail price of
b. Suppose an item has suggested retail price of
c. What single trade discount would give the same cost price as a series of
d. Explain why we could have calculated the same answer as in part b by multiplying
Trade Discount Often retailers sell merchandise at a suggested retail price determined by the manufacturer. The trade discount is the percentage discount given to the retailer by the manufacturer. The resulting price is the retailers’ net cost and so is called the cost price. For example, if the suggested retail price is
a. If an item has a suggested retail price of
b. If item has a cost price of

- math 62arrow_forwardMake up two polynomial functions, f(x) and g(x). • f(x) should be of degree 3 or higher. g(x) should be of degree 4 or higher. • Find f(3) in each of the three ways: substitution, remainder theorem (synthetic division), and long division. You should get the same answer three times for f(3). Find g(-2) once using your choice of the three methods.arrow_forwardere are many real-world situations that exhibit exponential and logarithmic nctions. • Describe two real world scenarios, one exponential and one logarithmic. Do not identify yet whether your scenarios are logarithmic or exponential.arrow_forward
- stacie is a resident at a medical facility you work at. You are asked to chart the amount of solid food that she consumes.For the noon meal today, she ate 1/2 of a 3 ounce serving of meatloaf, 3/4 of her 3 ounce serving of mashed potatoes, and 1/3 of her 2 ounce serving of green beans. Show in decimal form how many ounces of solid food that Stacie consumedarrow_forwardI've been struggling with this because of how close the numbers are together!! I would really appreciate if someone could help me❤️arrow_forwardMatrix MЄ R4×4, as specified below, is an orthogonal matrix - thus, it fulfills MTM = I. M (ELES),- m2,1. We know also that all the six unknowns mr,c are non-negative with the exception of Your first task is to find the values of all the six unknowns. Think first, which of the mr,c you should find first. Next, consider a vector v = (-6, 0, 0, 8) T. What's the length of v, i.e., |v|? Using M as transformation matrix, map v onto w by w = Mv provide w with its numeric values. What's the length of w, especially when comparing it to the length of v? Finally, consider another vector p = ( 0, 0, 8, 6) T. What's the angle between v (from above) and p? Using M as transformation matrix, map p onto q by q = Mp - provide q with its numeric values. What's the angle between w and q, especially when comparing it to the angle between v and p?arrow_forward
