If the total number of marbles is 102, Mark has 20 marbles while Don has 82 marbles.

To answer this word problem, read and understand first the problem.

"Don has 2 more than 4 times the number of marbles Mark has."

Out of this statement, we can come up with the expression,

Don = 2 + (4 x Mark)     (equation 1)

Next, the total number of marbles they have is 102.

Don + Mark = 102     (equation 2)

From this expression, if we subtract the number of marbles Mark has from the total number, we can get the number of marbles Don has.

Don = 102 - Mark    (equation 3)

Equating the 1st and 3rd equation,

Don = 2 + (4 x Mark) = 102 - Mark

2 + (4 x Mark) = 102 - Mark

let x = Mark's

2 + (4x) = 102 - x

4x + x = 102 - 2

5x = 100

x = 20

Mark has 20 marbles.

Meanwhile, use either the 1st or 3rd equation to know the number of marbles Don has.

Don = 102 - Mark    (equation 3)

Don = 102 - 20

Don = 82

I think this is asking what power when the first number given is raised to it will equal the number within the parentheses. So, for example, the answer to the first question would be 5 because 2^5 = 32. 10^3 = 1000, so the answer is 3, and so on.

The clownfish kay wanted to buy for $12 last week has been marked up 8%. What is the new price of the fish?
Crank
The markup is 8%, meaning it costs 8% more.
The starting price is 100%.
Therefore, the markup is 108% of $12.
If we multiply 12 by 108% (1.08), we will get our answer of $12.96
