Let the cost of the hair dryer equal x.
The net cost plus a 40% markup equals 42, set up an equation and solve forex.
1.4x = 42
Divide both sides by 1.4
X = 42 / 1.4
X = 30
The net cost was £30
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By the triangle sum theorem, the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°. Therefore, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°. Using the Substitution property
(6x)° + 90° + (x+6)° = 180°
To solve for x, first combine the terms to get (7x + 96) = 180°
Using the Subtraction property of equality,
7x = 84.
Then using the division property of equality x = 12.
To find the measure of angle A,
Use the subtraction property to get m∠A = 6(12)°.
Finally simplifying the expression gets m∠A = 72°.
Since we don't know the length of the trip, we can't find an exact answer.
However, we can write an expression for it. First, we let, T, represent the total number of miles for the trip.
Now, just divide T by 33. So our expression is T/33.
If you know the total miles of the trip, just divide it by 33 and you will have the answer.
The total would be $2.73.
