To do this you would have to do $2.00 times 1 1/4 to get the price of roast beef and $1.50 times 2 1/2.

The selling price of a​ refrigerator, is ​$ 796.40 . If the markup is 10 % of the​ dealer's cost, what is the​ dealer's cost of
8_murik_8 [283]

The final price (what it is selling for) is $796.40

The markup is 10% of the original price (the dealer's cost) , meaning that it is 10% more.

We need to find the original price.

We write this as an equation

The original price *110% = final price

This is because the original price is itself (100%) added with 10%

Plug in the known final price

Original Price * 110% = 796.40

Convert 110% to a decimal because the other numbers- such as the final price are also decimal numbers.

Convert 110% to a decimal by moving the decimal point up 2 spaces ( basically dividing it by 100)

110% = 1.1

So it is now

Original price *1.1 = 796.40

Divide both sides by 1.1 to isolate our unknown, the original price

Original price = $724

What is the volume of the extra large tube
Fantom [35]

If by base of 10, you mean that the diameter of the base is 10, then the radius of the base is 5.

volume = pi * r^2 * h

volume = pi * 5^2 * 10

volume = 250pi, or approximately 785
