A store sold a case of scented candles for $17.85 that had been marked up by 110%. What was the original price?

1 answer:

8 0

Your original price would have been $16.23

Explaination:

Take the new markup price and divide it by the percent it was marked up

17.85 / 1.10 = 16.227

1.10 represents 110%

Round your ending number cause there are only two place holders after the decimal for calculating prices. By doing this we change $16.227 to $16.23.

QUICK, BRAINLIEST FOR 1ST ANSWER. <br><br>14.5 is incorrect!

ra1l [238]

To get the *percent increase* from week 1 to week 2, we calculate the change in distance from week 1 to week 2 (13.5 - 12.5 = 1 mile) over the week 1 distance (12.5 miles). Doing that, we find that Matthew increased his distance by

1/12.5 = 0.08, or 8%

We’re given that he’ll increase his distance by the same percentage from week 2 to 3, so to find his week 3 distance, we can find 8% of the week 2 distance and add that on. 8% of 13.5 miles is 0.08 x 13.5 = 1.08 miles, so by week 3, he’ll be running 13.5 + 1.08 = 14.58 miles.

What's the solution for y+1/2=3/4

creativ13 [48]

$\frac{y+1}{2} = \frac{3}{4}$

2(y+1) = 3 LCD is 4

2*y + 2*1 = 3

2y + 2 = 3

2y = 3 - 2

2y = 1

y = 1 / 2

Help! If you know this can you tell me how to do it?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how this works:

Get everything together into one fraction by finding the LCD and doing the math. The LCD is sin(x) cos(x). Multiplying that in to each term looks like this:

$[sin(x)cos(x)]\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}+[sin(x)cos(x)]\frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)} =?$
