Answer:

The jacket costs $45

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, notice that the price of the sale represents 80% of the total cost. This is because we took 20% away with the sale. Now we can find the overall amount by dividing the sale cost by the amount it represents.

$36 / 80% = $45

An electrician needs 18.25 feet of wire for each outlet she installs. How man can she install with a 50 ft spool of wire?

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so if we know how much wire is needed for one outlet, we must figure out how many 18.25s fit into 50 ft of wire.

18.25*2=36.5

18.25*3=54.75 which is over 50 so it cannot possibly be more than 2.
