Step-by-step explanation:

the original retail price was 120% of the manufacturer price (100% manufacturer price + 20% markup).

now, the whole retail price is reduced by 12%.

that means we have to subtract 12% from the 120%.

but careful, we cannot just do 120-12=108.

that is simply because these 120% are now for this calculation the new basic amount and therefore 100%.

we actually need to calculate and subtract 12% of 120 to get the new percentage over the manufacturer price.

we do this by multiplying 120 by (100-12)/100 = 88/100 = 0.88 :

120 × 0.88 = 105.6%

so, the new retail price is now only 5.6% over the manufacturer price.

11/12 - 7/8 in fraction pls help

hjlf

Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 11 by 8, and get 88.Then we multiply 7 by 12, and get 84.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 8 = 96.

So now our fractions look like this:

88 /96 -84 /96

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

88 − 84 = 4

So the answer is:

4 /96

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

4 /96 ÷ 2 =2 /48

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

2 /48 ÷ 2 =1 /24

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

No good. 2 is larger than 1. So we're done reducing. There you have it! The final answer is:

11 /12 -7 /8=1 /24

Answer:

$A_{total} = 16\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the area of the top rectangle

We can tell that the total shape seems like two rectangles glued together. We can separate the top rectangle and determine the area of it and then determine the area of the bottom rectangle and combine them. Lets first solve the left rectangle.

$A=l*w$
