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

qaws [65]
I think you divide 24 by 8 which = 3 and then times 3•3 which equals 9 so I think that 9 students out of 24 ride the bus
