They will each equal 1.5 pounds also known as 1 1/2 or 3/2.
Answer:
Please check the number line attached below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please check the attached graph below.
The line graph is representing that a number line:
- Going from negative 2 to positive 2 in increments of 1.
- There are 4 equal spaces between each number.
From the graph, it is clear that the point 0 is taken as arbitrary. The left side number units from 0 represent the negative values and the right-sided number units from 0 represent the positive values.
When we move on the right side from the 0, the numbers increase and when you move on the right side from the 0, the number decreases.
Answer:
-8-6
-8+6

Step-by-step explanation:
1. The problem indicates that 300 pounds of oranges were purchased at $0.24 per pound, so the cost is:
300x$0.24=$72
2. A percent of 21% spoilage is expected, which means that 89% of 300 pounds of oranges left, is:
300x0.89=267 pounds of oranges
3. We want to calculate the selling price per pound of 267 pounds of oranges, so let's call this value "x":
Markup %=(Markup/cost)x100
Markup=267x-72
4. The desired markup, based on selling price, is 50%. So, when we substitute the values, we obtain:
(267x-72/72)x100=50
5. Let's clear the "x":
(26700x-7200/72)=50
26700x-7200=50x72
26700x-7200=3600
26700x=3600+7200
x=10800/26700
x=$0.40
x=40 cents
What should the selling price per pound be?
The answer is: 40 cents or $0.40
