Answer:
6.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
We first begin by solving for the original price of the cell phone.
if 2400 = 125%
x = 100%
By cross multplying, we get
125x = 2400 * 100
x = 240000/125
x = 1920rs
To find the profit percentage on the new sale price, we repeat another set of equations
100% = 1920
x = 2040
1920x = 2040 * 100
x = 204000/1920
x = 106.25%
His new profit percentage is 6.25%
Well, let's look at the answer choices.
A) If you want to fond the total cost of two sweaters you would add, not divide. So this isn't it.
B) To find out how much older someone is you would subtract. So this isn't it either.
C) To find out how many desks are needed you would multiply, since you know you need 3 rows of desks with 7 students each (3 x 7). Again, not it.
D) To find out how many pencils each student would get, you'd divide. You would divide 56 by 9. So your answer is D.
The answer is 0.04 (I hope). Here is an explanation:
