Step-by-step explanation:
2 3/4 = 11/4 (there are 4/4 in 1, so 2 have 8/4, and then plus 3/4 = 11/4).
1 4/7 = 11/7 (7/7 in 1 plus 4/7 = 11/7)
so, we actuality have
11/4 ÷ 11/7 = 11/4 × 7/11 = (7×11)/(4×11) = 7/4 = 1 3/4
Answer:
$1.77
Step-by-step explanation:
40% off = 60% of original price
60% = .6
.6 * .99 = 0.594
0.594 = $0.59
0.59 * 3 = 1.77
3 bags = 1.77
$1.77
To find the profit as a percentage:
profit as a percent = (price sold - purchase price) / (purchase price)
profit as a percent = (5.25 - 2.50 ) / (2.50)
profit as a percent = 2.75 / 2.50
profit as a percent = 1.1
then we will multiply 1.1 by 100 to get a percentage
profit as a percent = 110%
