50,000 / 2500 = 20....he bought them for 20 bucks a piece. So if he wants to sell them at 15% profit, he would sell them for 20 + 0.15(20) = $ 23 bucks.

A 15% profit of 50,000 dollars is  0.15(50,000) = 7500. Plus the 50 grand spent totals 57500. So they want to make a $ 7500 profit. Selling 2500 lamps at $ 23 per lamp (2500 x 23 = 57500) makes them their profit.

I should just shut up now...answer is $ 23 per lamp

Kaitlyn creates an architectural blueprint of a rectangular dining room.The area of the actual dining room is 900 times as large
8090 [49]
We need to make a scale between blueprint and actual size. The trick in this question is to understand that the scale for the areas and the scale for the lengths are different.
Scale for area is given in the question as
1 unit on blueprint = 900 units in actual.
As the dining room is given to be rectangular we can find the scale for lengths by taking square root of scale for area.

√1 unit on blueprint = √900 units in actual
Therefore, scale for length= 1:30

Thus, by using the scale we can calculate actual length corresponding to 4 inches on blueprint by multiplying 4 with scale
4 inches×1/30=120inches

Answer = 120 inches
