S=c+mc
s-c=mc
(s-c)/c=m
m=(s-c)/c

Answer:

$m=\frac{s-c}{c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$s=c+mc$

Now, to find the expression for $m$ , we just have to isolate it. First, we have to move the term $c$ to the other side of the equation, and then to move the coefficient $c$ , which is gonna pass to the other side dividing.

$s=c+mc\\s-c=mc\\\frac{s-c}{c}=m\\m=\frac{s-c}{c}$

Therefore, the percent markup is defined as the difference between the selling price and cost, divided by that cost.

A store sells flower arrangements at a cost of $28 each. Which statements are true regarding the price of the arrangements? Chec

Maru [420]

Let's check each case to determine the solution to the problem.

we know that

The cost of each flower arrangements is $\$28$

Statements

<u>case A)</u> If the price is marked down by $10$ percent, the new price will be $\$25.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $10$ percent

then

the new price will be

$10\%= \frac{10}{100} =0.10$

$(1-0.10)*\$28=0.90*\$28 \\= \$25.20$

$\$25.20=\$25.20$

therefore

The statement case A) is True

<u>case B)</u> If the price is marked down by $25$ percent, the new price will be $\$21$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $25$ percent

then

the new price will be

$25\%= \frac{25}{100} =0.25$

$(1-0.25)*\$28=0.75*\$28 \\= \$21$

$\$21=\$21$

therefore

The statement case B) is True

<u>case C)</u> If the price is marked down by $50$ percent, the new price will be $\$19$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $50$ percent

then

the new price will be

$50\%= \frac{50}{100} =0.50$

$(1-0.50)*\$28=0.50*\$28 \\= \$14$

$\$14 \neq \$19$

therefore

The statement case C) is False

<u>case D)</u> If the price is marked down by $35$ percent, the new price will be $\$18.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $35$ percent

then

the new price will be

$35\%= \frac{35}{100} =0.35$

$(1-0.35)*\$28=0.65*\$28 \\= \$18.20$

$\$18.20=\$18.20$

therefore

The statement case D) is True

<u>case E)</u> If the price is marked down by $40$ percent, the new price will be $\$29.80$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $40$ percent

then

the new price will be

$40\%= \frac{40}{100} =0.40$

$(1-0.40)*\$28=0.60*\$28 \\= \$16.80$

$\$16.80 \neq \$29.80$

therefore

The statement case E) is False

Auto-Check Motors charged Mr. Jones $84.00 for an automotive part plus $68.00 per hour that a mechanic worked to install the par

avanturin [10]

You're going to want to take the total, which is $353.00 and subtract the initial cost, which is $84.00, the number now should be $269. Using that total divide it by $68.00, there you should find your answer of about 4 hours. The precise answer is 3.99588235. But you would round that to 4 hours.

Solve the equation, and check the solutions 2(√x+3)=6.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(\sqrt{x}+3)=6$

Expanding the left hand side we get

$\Rightarrow 2\sqrt{x}+6=6$

Taking 6 from left hand side to right hand side

$\Rightarrow 2\sqrt{x}=6-6\\\Rightarrow 2\sqrt{x}=0$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{x}=\frac{0}{2}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{x}=0\\\Rightarrow x=0$

So, x = 0
