Answer:

Equation representing the retail price y of apple pies in terms of the original cost x  is      y = 1.78 x

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost of apple pie = x

The mark up percentage = 78%

The retail price of the apple pie = y

Now, the mark up is always applied on the original price.

⇒78%  of x  = \frac{78}{100} \times x = 0.78x

So, the marked up amount of pie = 0.78 x

Also, the Total Retail price = Original Price + Marked up Price

                                             = x+ 0.78 x = (1+ 0.78)x  =  1.78 x

or, y = 1.78 x

Hence,equation representing the retail price y of apple pies in terms of the original cost x  is y = 1.78 x

Answer:

x=y/1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know the original value then you would multiply by 1.78 to calculate the price after markup. Thus if you know the price after markup you divide by 1.78 to find the original value.

y=markup price

x=original price

y=1.78x

Divide both sides by 1.78

y/1.78=x

x=y/1.78

Find the diameter of a circle with circumference of 15.70
Elanso [62]

Find the diameter of a circle with circumference of 15.70

Solution: We are given:

The circumference of a circle =15.70

We are required to find the diameter of the circle based on given circumference.

We know that:

Diameter = \frac{circumference}{\pi}  

                      =\frac{15.70}{3.1416}      \because \pi \approx 3.1416

                      =5.00 rounded to two decimal places

Therefore, the diameter of the circle with circumference 15.70 is 5
