Answer:

  • <u>53.5 %</u>

Explanation:

You can convert the percent markup into a multiplicative factor in this way:

Base price:                     15,800 . . . (cost to the seller)

Percent mark up:           115% . . .  (based on the cost to the seller)

Sale price:                      15,800 + 115% of x = 15,800 + 115 × 15,800 /100 =

                                        = 15,800 + 1.15 × 15,800 = 15,800 (2.15) = 33,970

The markup is:

  • Markup = price paid by the seller - cost to the seller = 33,970 - 15,800   = 18,170 (notice that this is 115% of 15,800)

And <em>the percent markup based on the sale price is</em>:

  • % = (markup / sale price) × 100 = (18,700 / 33,970) × 100 =

            = 53.49 %

Rounding to the nearest tenth percent that is 53.5 %.

Answer:

87 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the volume of the cone-shaped vase.

The volume of a cone is given by:

V_cone = (1/3) * pi * radius^2 * height

With a radius of 9 cm and a height of 28 cm, we have:

V_cone = (1/3) * pi * 9^2 * 28 = 2375.044 cm3

Each package of sand is a cube with side length of 3 cm, so its volume is:

V_cube = 3^3 = 27 cm3

Now, to know how many packages the artist can use without making the vase overflow, we just need to divide the volume of the cone by the volume of the cube:

V_cone / V_cube = 2375.044 / 27 = 87.9646 packages

So we can use 87 packages (if we use 88 cubes, the vase would overflow)

defon

Answer:

Infinite solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x = 1 then y = 3, or if x = 3 y = 5   and so on.

We can  substitute any number of values of x and find the corresponding value of y so there are infinite solutions.

A pail hold 6 3/4 gallon of water. how much is this in cups
Ber [7]
There are 16 cups in 1 gallon so you would have to turn the denominator in the fraction into a 16 meaning you would multiply by 4 (because 4 goes into 16, 4 times). Your new fraction is 12/16. now you do 6 gallons*16 cups and you get 96 cups. Then you add the fraction onto 96 and you would be adding 12. Your final answer is 108 cups in 6 3/4 gallons

In a box there are 21 identical pieces that have been enumerated using odd numbers from 5 to 45. How many tiles should be drawn
Orlov [11]

These are the only combinations of exactly 3 tiles that add to 33.

5,7,21

5,9,19

5,11,17

5,13,15

7,9,17

7,11,15

9,11,13

All tiles with numbers above 21 do not help you. 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45. There are 12 of them.

Every three-number combination must have one of the numbers 5, 7, or 9, so if the six numbers from 13 to 21 are picked, in addition to the 12 higher numbers mentioned above, you already picked 18 tiles, and you still have no solution. To obtain the solutions 5,7,21; 5,9,19; 7,9,17; he needs two more numbers in addition to the 18 he already has, so he needs 20 tiles in total to be guaranteed three of them add to exactly 33.

Answer: 20 tiles
