Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:

\sf 55.25\cdot 87\%

Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):

\sf 55.25\cdot 0.87

Multiply:

\sf\approx 48

This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:

\sf 48+55.25\approx\boxed{\sf \$ 103}

If you flip two coins 96 times what is the best prediction for the number of times they would both land on tails
emmainna [20.7K]
Flipping two coins gives four possibilities: HH, HT, TH, TT

So P(TT)=1/4

So we'd expect a quarter of the trials to be two tails.

\frac 1 4 \times 96 = 24 trials expected to be two tails.

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (2, 3) and the system of equations?
mel-nik [20]

substitute the ordered pair (2, 3 )  into the 2 equations

(3 × 2 ) + (4 × 3 ) = 6 + 12 = 18 → True

(2 × 2 ) - (2 × 3 ) = 4 - 6 = - 2 → False

Hence the ordered pair (2, 3 ) is not a solution to the system of linear equations.

When (2, 3 ) is substituted into the first equation, the equation is true.

When (2, 3 ) is substituted into the second equation, the equation is false.

0.10 x 37.7 explain please
kodGreya [7K]

Answer: The answer is 3.77.

Explanation: Since 0.10 is 10 times smaller than 1, we know that if we divide 37.7 by 10, we will get the same answer as 0.10 x 37.7.

Please help me !!!!!
kupik [55]

Whenever you want to write the equation of a parallel line through some point (h, k), you can ...

  • remove any added constant in the original given equation
  • replace x with (x-h)
  • replace y with (y-k)
  • rearrange the resulting equation to the form required by the problem.

Using this formula here, we get

... 2(y +5) = 3(x -2)

Your answer form requires you solve this for y.

... 2y + 10 = 3x -6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 2y = 3x -16 . . . . . . . . subtract the constant on the left (10)

... y = (3/2)x -8 . . . . . . divide by 2
