The markup is 1.26 (the amount added is .26)

1.26x (when x is the price Fred buys them for from the manufacturer)

1.26(40)
$50.40 is the retail price


50.4-40 
$10.40 is the markup

Answer:

The 26% markup means that he is selling the flags 26% above the cost.

So, the cost would represent 100%, which is 1, and 26% of markup in decimal number is 0.26.

The price including the markup would be 1.26 as decimal or 126% as percentage.

The problem states that the cost is unknown, so we represent that with a variable <em>x. </em>The retail price would be 1.26x, which is 126% per flag.

Finally, if Fred paid $40 per flag, the actual retail price would be:

1.26($40)=$50.40.

With $10.40 of markup.

Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Then she donates $2 to clean wate
borishaifa [10]

We have been given that Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Also, she donates $2 to clean water projects per tax return she files.

Further we know that Sterre charged $7,245 and made a donation of $1,242 this year for the tax returns she filed.

Let x be the number of free income tax returns and y be the number of $35 income tax returns.

Therefore, we can set up:

0\times x+35\times y=7245\Rightarrow 35y=7245\Rightarrow y=\frac{7245}{35}=207

Since she donates $2 for each return that she files, therefore, we can set up:

2(x+y)=1242\Rightarrow x+y=621\Rightarrow x+207=621\Rightarrow x=414

Therefore,

Sterre filed 414 tax returns for free and filed 207 tax returns for $35.

Carl and Bob can demolish a building in 6 days, Anne and Bob can do it in 3, Anne and Carl in 5. How many days does it take all
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

  • 59/20 days or 2.95  days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Carl do the job in c days, Anne- in a, and Bob in b days

Then the portion of job they can do is 1/c, 1/a and 1/b

<u>As per given we have below equations:</u>

  • 1/c + 1/b= 1/6
  • 1/a + 1/b = 1/3
  • 1/a + 1/c = 1/5

<u>Sum of all 3 equations gives us:</u>

  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/5
  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 5/30 + 10/30 + 6/30
  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 21/30
  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 7/10
  • 1/a + 1/b + 1/c = 7/20

It means all three together can complete 7/20 of the job in one day

<u>The rest of the job is done by Anne and Bob:</u>

  • 1 - 7/20 = 13/20

<u>As Anne and Bob can do 1/3 of the job in one day, they need time to complete the rest:</u>

  • 13/20:1/3 = 39/20

<u>Add 1 day to this to find overall time:</u>

  • 1 + 39 /20 = 59/20 days or 2.95  days
