Answer:

$467.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let's represent one of the unknown quantities.

We will let:

x= the dealer's cost for the refrigerator (before the markup is added).

Step 2

Let's represent other unknown quantities in terms of xx.

There are no other unknown quantities, so we can skip this step.

Step 3

Now we write an equation in xx that models the conditions.

The dealer's cost plus the 25% markup is the selling price, 584$:\ x + 0.25x = 584x + 0.25x = 584.

Step 4

x + 0.25x = 584  

x(1+0.25)= 584

1.25x=584

<u>125x</u>  <u>= </u>  <u>584</u>

1.25   =   1.25

​

x=467.20

We solve the equation and answer the question.

We find that the dealer's cost before adding markup was $467.20.

Step 5

Finally we check the proposed solution in the original wording of the problem.  The dealer's cost before adding the markup, 467.20$, plus the 25% markup, should equal the final price given in the original wording. 584$. This verifies that the dealer cost before adding the markup was 467.20$. So the answer is $467.20.

Hope this helps you!

When a class took a math test, 15% of the class failed, 25% made some mistakes (but didn???t fail), and 24 students got perfect
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Okay so we have to figure out what percentage passed first let’s add all the percentages

25%+15%= 40%

Now subtract that from 100%

100%-40%= 60%

So 60% of the class passed

Now let’s use x to represent the total number of people on the class

x•0.6= 24

Now solve for x

x= 40

There are 40 people in the class we figure this out my converting 60% to 0.6 and multiplying it by 40 and getting 24 which is correct
