Answer:
x = 13 ; x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest related equation to get is simply solving for x:
a) x + 5 = 18
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 5 from both sides:
x + 5 (-5) = 18 (-5)
x = 18 - 5
x = 13*
b) 66x = 330
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 66 from both sides of the equation:
(66x)/66 = (330)/66
x = 330/66
x = 5*
*Note: An equation simply is a expression that has an equal sign. This means that as long as there is an equal sign, it counts as an equation.

We know that:
The markup is the price added to the cost price of goods...
To find the markup, we must multiply the percent increase by the original price (before markup).
So:
10,000 x 5% (or 0.05) = ?
10,000 (You do not have to follow my way of multiplying, do what is comfortable for u)
x 5 (Ignore the decimals then we move it after we get the answer)
----------
50,000 move the decimal back 2 places so it is 500
The final answer is:
The markup amount is $500...
8/0.61=13.114… then round if needed
