Answer:

67%

$33.92

Step-by-step explanation:

So a few things happen.  Starting at $50.88 there is a markup, so it is now y dollars.  Then a tax of 6.25% is applied to this y, which gets $90.10.  So we want to work backwards to find y.

First, we want to find a number that when it gets a tax of 6.25%, or .0625, we get 90.10.  So it's a pretty simple algebra problem.

90.1 = y * 1.0625

90.1/1.0625 = y

84.8 = y

So now we know, before tax the store charges $84.80.  if you don't get how I did something let me know.

Now, we want to know the percent increase from $50.88 to $84.80.  We know it is an increase of $33.92.  Well, we can use that.  33.92 is what percent of 50.88.  or an algebra way of writing it is 50.88x = 33.92 So let's solve that real quick.

50.88x = 33.92

x = 33.92/50.88

x = 2/3

So now, in conclusion, startign with a price of $50.88, the store marks it up by 2/3, which is 67% more or less, and then there is a 6.25% sales tax

kifflom [539]
The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve 

The problem gives us a ratio 
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins 
which makes a ratio of \frac{2}{3}
The other ratio is 
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of \frac{x}{24}

To solve, set them equal to each other ...
\frac{2}{3} =  \frac{x}{24}

Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply 2 and 24 
and we multiply 3 and x 
Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48 
To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x = \frac{48}{3}

x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola

A box with a volume of 40 cubic inches holds 10 balls. A box with a volume of 60 cubic inches holds 15 of the same kinds of ball

Pretend these are coordinates that you can use to find the slope of the line.
(10, 40) and (15, 60). Fit these into the slope formula to find the slope of the line you are looking for:
m= \frac{60-40}{15-10} and the slope is 4. Now use one of the points and the slope of 4 to solve for b, the y-intercept:
40 = 4(10) + b so b = 0.  The equation of the line then is y = 4x + 0 or just
y = 4x
