Answer:
Let the retail cost be x and the wholesale cost be y
Step-by-step explanation:
x = y + 0.50y
x = 1.50y
Therefore the retail cost is 1.50 times the wholesale cost.
Answer:
Large books = 11
Small books = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 5y = 107
7x = 107 - 5y
x = 107/7 - 5y/7
5x + 7y = 97
5 (107/7 - 5y/7) + 7y = 97
535/7 - 25y/7 + 7y = 97
535/7 + 24y/7 = 97
535 + 24y = 679
24y = 679 - 535
y = 144/24 = 6: So x =
7x + 5(6) = 107
7x = 107-30
x = 77-7 = 11
Quotient. A/B=C C is the quotient.
