A car seller buys a car from a manufacturer for $10,000. He increases the cost by 5 percent. What is the markup amount?

1 answer:

3 0

We know that:

The markup is the price added to the cost price of goods...

To find the markup, we must multiply the percent increase by the original price (before markup).

So:

10,000 x 5% (or 0.05) = ?

10,000 (You do not have to follow my way of multiplying, do what is comfortable for u)
x 5 (Ignore the decimals then we move it after we get the answer)
----------
50,000 move the decimal back 2 places so it is 500

The final answer is:

The markup amount is $500...

Traveling math word problem - thank you! :)

Anni [7]

We are given:

car and train leave at the same time

average velocity of car = 50 miles/hour

average velocity of train = 70 miles/hour

train arrives 2 hours early

Assuming variables and making equations!

let the time taken by the train = t hours

since the car arrived late, it took more time as compared to the train

time taken by the car = t + 2 hours

since the distance from Pasadena to Sacramento doesn't change, both the vehicles covered the same distance, d

Distance travelled by the car:

d = 50 $\frac{miles}{hour}$ * (t+2) hours [distance = velocity * time]

d = 50(t+2) miles

rewriting in terms of t

$t = \frac{d-100}{50}$

Distance travelled by the train:

d = 70 $\frac{miles}{hour}$ * t hours

d = 70t miles

rewriting in terms of t

$t = \frac{d}{70}$

now we have two expressions for t, both of which are equal because t is just the time taken by the train

Finding the distance:

$t = \frac{d-100}{50}$

$t = \frac{d}{70}$

because t is the same:

$\frac{d-100}{50} = \frac{d}{70}$

$\frac{d-100}{5} = \frac{d}{7}$

7(d - 100) = 5(d)

7d - 700 = 5d

(7d - 5d) - 700 = 0 [subtracting 5d from both sides]

2d = 700 [adding 700 on both sides]

d = 350 miles [dividing both sides by 2]

The distance between Pasadena and Sacramento is 350 miles!

Can someone please help me with math.

Answer:

5. B) 55

6. D) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the properties of a triangle is that the sum of angles in a triangle will always equal (180) degrees. One can apply this here, form an equation and solve for (x). Remember, a box around an angle indicates that the measure of the angle is (90) degrees.

90 + x + 35 = 180

Simplify,

125 + x = 180

Inverse operations,

x = 55

This triangle is a right triangle, as mention earlier, a box around an angle indicates that the angle measure is (90) degrees. One of the criteria of a triangle to be considered a right triangle is that it must contain a (90) degree angle. One of the properties of a right triangle is that it follows the Pythagorean theorem, the Pythagorean theorem states the following,

$a^2+b^2=c^2$
