Alvin rose owns a fruit and vegetable stand. he knows that he cannot sell all his produce at full price. some of his produce will be markdowns, and he will throw out some produce. alvin must put a high enough price on the produce to cover markdowns and rotted produce and still make his desired profit. alvin bought 300 pounds of tomatoes at 14 cents per pound. he expects a 5% spoilage and marks up tomatoes 60% on cost. what price per pound should alvin charge for the tomatoes? (round to the nearest cent and include a $).

where is the image?

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 0.000652422

but if you ment to ask what is 6131 divided by 4, it is 1532.75.

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
