Answer:

Markup of _66.67_ % or $ _33,92_ per pair of boots

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the markup per pair of boots, we need to find the sales price BEFORE tax.

That can be done simply with a cross-multiplication (106.25 represents total price with 6.25% tax, and 100 represent amount of sales before tax)

\frac{90.10}{106.25} = \frac{x}{100}

if we isolate x we have x = (90.10 * 100) / 106.25 = $84.80

We can then easily calculate the markup amount, since the boots were sold $84.80 and Marissa paid $50.88, that means her markup amount is $33.92.

Now, let's calculate the markup percentage by see how much $33.92 represents compared to the initial price of $50.88:

$33.92 / $50.88 = 66.67%

RSB [31]

Answer:

\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2} = m}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

\dfrac{3}{4} = m + \dfrac{1}{4}

<u>Step-1: Subtract 1/4 both sides</u>

\dfrac{3}{4} = m + \dfrac{1}{4}

\dfrac{3}{4} - \dfrac{1}{4} = m

\dfrac{2}{4}  = \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2} = m}
