Marissa's Fashions purchases designer boots from a manufacturer for $50.88 per pair. Marissa then adds a certain amount to the p

rice of the boots as a markup when she sells them in the store. The total cost for a customer buying the boots at the store is $90.10. This includes a 6.25% sales tax that is added after the markup.
The percent of markup before tax is about ___________________
%, which is a markup of $___________
per pair of boots.

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%

7- a. What is the radius of the circle with center (3,10) that passes through (12,12)?
loris [4]

Answer: a. Radius of circle = \sqrt{85}

b. The equation of this circle : (x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Center of the circle = (3,10)

Circle is passing through (12,12).

a. To find the radius we apply distance formula (∵ Radius is the distance from center to any point ion the circle.)

Radius of circle = \sqrt{(12-3)^2+(12-10)^2}

Radius of circle = \sqrt{(9)^2+(2)^2}=\sqrt{81+4}=\sqrt{85}

i.e. Radius of circle = \sqrt{85}

b. Equation of a circle = (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 , where (h,k)=Center and r=radius of the circle.

Put the values of (h,k)= (3,10) and r= \sqrt{85} , we get

(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=(\sqrt{85})^2

(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85

∴  The equation of this circle :(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85

Which expression is a difference of squares with a factor of 2x + 5? 4x2 + 10 4x2 – 10 4x2 + 25 4x2 – 25
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

  4x^2 -25

Step-by-step explanation:

The other factor of the difference of squares is the "conjugate" of the given one: (2x -5). Then their product is ...

  (2x +5)(2x -5) = (2x)^2 -(5)^2 = 4x^2 -25
