If Gap sells jeans that cost $21.00 for selling price of $29.95. The percent of markup based on cost is approximately 43%. The markup in price is exactly $8.95.
70 x P = 63
P=63/70 = 0.9
Since P is 1-the discount
1-discount= 0.9
discount is 0.1, or 10 %
3(n - 5) = 24
Distributive property
3*n = 3n
3*5 = 15
3n - 15 = 24
+ 15 +15
3n = 39
3n/3 = 39/3
x = 39/3
x = 13
Answer: x = 13
