Simple, finding markdown, use these two formulas.
Markdown=Original-New
and
Percent Markdown= Markdown Amount/Original*100
So,
Markdown=612-450
M=162
Markdown%= 162/612*100
M%=0.2647*100
M%=26.5 (rounded)
Thus, there was a 26.5% decrease.
I think its 0.156 because / means division
Answer:
Almond: $7/4 per pound
Jelly Bean: $ 11/4 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
A: almond
J: jelly bean
3A + 5J = 19 .... multiply 9 each side
27A + 45J = 171 .....(1)
9A + 7J = 35 .....multiply 3 each side
27A + 21J = 105 ....(2)
(1) - (2) 24J = 66
J = 66/24 = 11/4
3A + 5 x 11/4 = 19
3A = 21 / 4
A = 7/4
