Answer:

The original cost was $37.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a 20% mark up, we know that we are paying 120% of the initial price. So, to find the original price, we take the current cost and divide by 120% (or 1.20).

$45.00/1.20 = $37.50

A recipe calls for 14cup of brown sugar for every 23cup of white sugar. How many cups of brown sugar are required for every cup

photoshop1234 [79]

Note: Consider all the numeric values are in the fraction form. Like $14\to \dfrac{1}{4}$ , $23\to \dfrac{2}{3}$ etc.

Given:

A recipe calls for $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cup of brown sugar for every $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cup of white sugar.

To find:

The number of cups of brown sugar that are required for every cup of white sugar.

Solution:

We know that,

Required brown sugar for $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cup of white sugar = $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cup

Using this, we get

Required brown sugar for 1 cup of white sugar = $\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}$ cup

$=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{2}$ cup

$=\dfrac{3}{8}$ cup

So, $\dfrac{3}{8}$ cup of brown sugar is required for every cup of white sugar.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
