Answer:

The marked price of the item is $9.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of an item is $6.95.

The retailer wants a markup of 33%.

The markup amount is

$6.95\times \frac{33}{100}=2.2935$

The marked pries is the addition of original cost and markup value.

$\text{Marked price}=6.95+2.2935=9.2435\approx 9.24$

Therefore the marked price of the item is $9.24.

Answer:

D. $512,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if the balance doubles every 5 years, then dividing 40 by 5 gives us the number of times the money will double, which is 8. We can then turn this into the equation $2000(2^{8})$ . $2^8$ can be simplified to 256. Multiply that by 2000 and we get our answer, 512000. Hope this helps!
