Since dollars and cents are typically written as decimals, you often need to work with decimals. Knowing how to add and subtract decimal numbers is essential when you deposit money to (and withdraw money from) your bank account; perform an incorrect calculation, and you may be costing yourself some cash.

You own an electronics store with a merchandise book value of $245,000. You conduct a physical inventory and find the value to b
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

0.22% shrinkage as a percent of sales.

To calculate shrinkage you subtract the physical inventory value from the book value.

245,000-237,000 = 800

The shrinkage was $800. To find the shrinkage as a percent of sales take the shrinkage value and divide it by the sales value to get shrinkage as a percentage of sales.

800 / 360,000 = 0.0022....

Multiply Decimal by 100 to get the percentage

100 * 0.0022.... = 0.22%

Solve the equations <br> 3x + 5y = 21 <br> -20x + 5y <br> show your work
Digiron [165]

Answer:

x=21/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3x+5y=21−20x+5y

Add 20x to both sides:

3x+5y+20x=−20x+5y+21+20x

23x+5y=5y+21

Subtract 5y to both sides:

23x+5y+−5y=5y+21+−5y

23x=21

Divide both sides by 23:

x=21/23

Westkost [7]

how much did they sale? you can not complete the answer without a sale amount.  because you are asking that they made $1,200 plus 3% of sale, but you do not have the amount they sold so it just $1,200+3% of the sale , but no number for how much they sale, but for advice i would get the total amount they sale and divide by 100 then times it by 3 then try to fill in the void on how they went from 1,200 to 2500. You need to tell us the amount they sold and then the we can answer your question, but without you will not get your answer, so your question is incomplete.
