Answer:the college bookstore paid

$57.86 for the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price that the college bookstore paid the publisher to get the book.

The college bookstore marks up the price by 40%. It means that the value of the mark up would be .40/100 × x = 0.4 × x = 0.4x

Therefore, the selling price of the book at the college bookstore would be

x + 0.4x = 1.4x

If the selling price of a book is $ 81.00, it means that

1.4x = 81

x = 81/1.4 = $57.86

"sam's furniture was destroyed by a fire. the furniture cost $1200 when it was purchased, but similar new furniture now costs $1
oee [108]
Deprecated means the price is decreased, so if something is deprecated by 50% (which just means 1/2 is taken away) its original price is just cut in half. so half of 1200 (1200 divided by 2) is 600. i think the answer is 600 :-)

A compact disc player costs £50 plus 17 1/2% Vat. Calculate the total cost of the compact disc player
Shtirlitz [24]
With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75

Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75

The total price, including VAT, is £58.75
