If markup is 60% of the cost, you have
... markup = 0.60×cost
... markup/0.60 = cost
... $207.20/0.60 = cost = $345.33
_____
If markup is 60% of the selling price, the other 40% is the cost. So, the cost is 40/60 = 2/3 of the markup.
... cost = (2/3)×markup = (2/3)×$207.20
... cost = $138.13
_____
Markup can be specified in terms of either selling price or cost. Those are the usual reference values; there could be others. When only the percentage is given, you don't have enough information to work the problem. You need to know what it is a percentage of. (Example problems in your text may tell you the expected interpretation.)
Answer: numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract both sides by 25:
x^2 - 6x = -25
Because we're completing the square, we subtract both sides by 9:
x^2 - 6x - 9 = -34
(x - 3) = 5.831 (about)
x = 8.831
Answer:
it would be 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1.6 times 5 equals 8

doesn't that make it just a 20 x 14? well, surely you know what that area is.
