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.

What is the value of the 11th term in the following geometric sequence? -5, -10, -20, -40

yaroslaw [1]

You are multiplying 2 to each term each time.

-40 is the 4th term

-40 x 2 = -80

-80 x 2 = - 160

-160 x 2 = -320

-320 x 2 = -640

-640 x 2 = -1280

-1280 x 2 = -2560

-2560 x 2 = -5120

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-5120 is your 11th term.

It costs $5.08 for 4 pounds of gummy candy in bulk. How much would it cost to buy 17 pounds?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

$21.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically how I did it was to multiply 5.08 by 4, because that would be the cost of 16 bags and then I divided 5.08 by 4 to see how much one bag would cost. One bag costs 1.27. After I've got the answer, I added 1.27 to 20.32 and got $21.59.

Which expression should you simplify to find the 90% confidence interval,

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

$0.45 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{36}}=0.2870.45 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{36}}=0.613$

we can conclude at 95% of confidence that the true proportion of interest for this case is between 0.287 and 0.613

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated proportion of interest is $\hat p=0.45$

We need to find a critical value for the confidence interval using the normla standard distributon. For this case we have 95% of confidence, then the significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ .
