A recent physical inventory at a department store reports a merchandise value of $875,435. The merchandise book value was $907,3

40. The merchandise sales were $1,988,345. What is the shrinkage as a percentage of sales? (Shrinkage is the difference between the book value and the merchandise value from a physical inventory.)

Answer:

The shrinkage as a percentage of sales is 1.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the percentage of the sales that can be contributed to shrinkage, we first need to find the amount of shrinkage between the book value ($907,340) and the physical inventory ($875,435).  The difference between these two values is $31,905.  With this value of shrinkage, I then divide by the total amount in sales, which is $1,988,345.  This would give me an overall percentage of 1.6%, which represents the shrinkage as a percentage of sales.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION ITS URGENT!!!
Alex Ar [27]

Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in (2u)^{3}.  This will become 2^{3} u^{3}, and 2^{3} =8.  Now, the expression is:

\frac{2u^{3} v^{2} }{8u^{3} * u^{2} }.


We can now simplify the bottom to read: 8u^{5} because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents.  The expression now looks like:

\frac{2u^{3} v^{2} }{8u^{5} }


The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:

\frac{u^{3} v^{2} }{4u^{5} }


Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom.  When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents.  However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent.  The final answer is:

\frac{v^{2} }{4u^{2} }


Hope this makes sense!!
