I found that Joe has 28 red pepper plants and 8 green pepper plants.

to find this, I first set up a proportion:
7/2 = (20+x)/x

then you cross multiply giving you:
7x = 40 + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:
5x = 40

solve for x:
x = 8 (which is the amount of green pepper plants)

to find how many red pepper plants he has, plug in x for (20 + x) giving you 28 red pepper plants

Hope I helped :)

A retailer buys a coat in bulk at a unit price of $45. The coat is marked up to 28% to sell in the store. What is the price of t
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

57.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coat is marked up 28%, then the cost is increased by 28% to produce the selling price.

SP = 45 + 28/100 * 45

SP = Selling Price

SP = 45 + 28*45 / 100

SP = 45 + 1260 / 100

SP = 45 + 12.60

SP = 57.60

Answer: The selling price is 57.60
