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%

98-x2=0 solve this with the quadratic formula
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

             x∈{-7√2, 7√2}

Step-by-step explanation:

98-x^2=0\\\\-x^2+98=0\\\\a=-1\,,\ \ b=0\,,\ \ c=98\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-0-\sqrt{0^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot98}}{2\cdot(-1)}=\dfrac{-\sqrt{4\cdot49\cdot2}}{-2}=\dfrac{-2\cdot7\sqrt{2}}{-2}=7\sqrt2\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-0+\sqrt{0^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot98}}{2\cdot(-1)}=\dfrac{2\cdot7\sqrt{2}}{-2}=-7\sqrt2
