An item, x, is marked up 40% and now costs $49.99
40% is 0.40
1 times any number will be the same number so we'll use that to add on the original price to the amount of increase
(1+0.40)x=49.99
x=49.99/1.4
x=35.71 so D is the answer
        
             
        
        
        
The left  figure  that  is  2.5 is  taken   as   numerator while  the  right  figure   that  is 3.15 is  take  as  denominator.
therefore the  fraction  is
                2.5/3.15
  the multiply  by   a  100  to  remove  the  decimals  to  give
           250/315
 in  simplest  form the  fraction  is  divided  by  5 to give
            50/63

Answer:
36.8 or 37 yards of fabric
Step-by-step explanation:
23 yards of fabric = five dresses
23 divided by five equals four point six
four point six multiplied by eight dress equals 36.8
23 yds of fabric = 5 dresses
23÷5=4.6
If you need to know how many yards of fabric, then you'd do:
4.6×8 
4.6 is the amount of each yards 5 dresses are in and so if you times that by how many dresses you need now, you'll get:
36.8 yards of fabric
To round, it'd be 37 yards of fabric
