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%

ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, as shown below: Circle O is shown with a quadrilateral ABCD inscribed inside it.
kogti [31]

Answer:

B. (x + 16) + (6x − 4) = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cyclic Quadrilateral Theorem states that for a quadrilateral in a circle, the opposite angles will equal 180 degrees. So therefore you can conclude:

∠A + ∠C = 180° which would be (x + 16) + (6x - 4) = 180°

∠B + ∠D =180° which would be x + (2x - 16) = 180°

Answer:

P = 25 + (15)n

Total amount paid by David = $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fixed cost of renting chain saw =  $25

Variable cost of renting chain saw =  $15 per hour

Time taken = 5 hour

Find;

Total amount paid by David

Computation:

Assume;

Total amount paid by David = P

Time taken = n

So,

P = 25 + (15)n

P = 25 + (15)(5)

P = 25 + 75

P = 100

Total amount paid by David = $100
