Answer:
Cost of small box = $13
Cost of large box = $18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of small box of candy = $s
And the cost of large candy box = $b
Beth sold 9 small and 10 large boxes of candies for $297.
9s + 10b = 297 -----(1)
Sarah sold 8 small and 5 large boxes of candies for $194.
8s + 5b = 194 -------(2)
Multiply equation (2) by 2 then subtract equation (1) from (2).
2(8s + 5b) - (9s + 10b) = (2×194) - 297
16s + 10b - 9s - 10b = 388 - 297
7s = 91 ⇒ s = $13
From equation (2),
(8×13) + 5b = 194
104 + 5b = 194
5b = 90
b = $18
We have 8/27 + 25/9 = 24/81 + 225/81 = 249/81 = 3.07;
the last one is the correct answer
how I did this is i did 8.5-7=1.5
Answer:
The average cost of each tie is $56.350
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a men tie buyer plans to promote a $39.99 tie. Consequently, the buyer purchases 450 ties
So, Cost of 450 ties = 
An order for 100 ties that cost $20.00 each
Cost of 100 ties = 
Total cost price = 17995.5+2000 = 19995.5
Let the selling price of 1 tie be x
Total ties = 450+100 = 550
So, SP of 550 ties =550x
Now we are given that markup is 55%
So, Profit % = 55%
So, 
Substitute the values





Hence The average cost of each tie is $56.350
