I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.

so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.

Answer:

$0.2332 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

John's smoothie stand sells bananas. John bought 55 pounds of bananas at $0.24 per pound  expecting 10% to spoil.

The amount was spent in purchasing bananas = 55 × 0.24 = $13.20

A mark-up of 59% means multiply the amount spent by 1.59.

$13.20 × 1.59 = $20.988

After selling the bananas he want to have $20.988

Since 10% of the 55 lbs of bananas are expected to spoil. This implies, 90% of bananas can be sold.

100 × 0.9 = 90

Now divide the total price ( 20.988 ) by the number of good bananas (90 lbs)

to get the price per pound they should charge.

\frac{20.988}{90} = 0.2332

John should charge about $0.2332 per pound.

Math-- Farmer Bill has 500 meters of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot that borders on a river. If farmer Bill doe
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Required dimensions of the rectangle are L = 200 m, W  = 100 m

The  largest area that can be enclosed is 20,000 sq m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The available length of the fencing = 500 m

Now, Perimeter of a rectangle = SUM OF ALL SIDES  = 2(L+B)

But, here once side of the rectangle is NOT FENCED.

So, the required perimeter  

= Perimeter of Complete field - Boundary of 1 open side

= 2(L+ W)   - L  = 2W + L

Now, fencing is given as 500 m

⇒  2W + L  = 500

Now, to maximize the length and width:

put L = 200, W = 100

we get 2(W) +L =  2(200) + 100 = 500 m

Hence, required dimensions of the rectangle are L = 200 m, W  = 100 m

The maximized area = Length x Width

                                   = 200 m x 100  m = 20, 000 sq m

Hence, the  largest area that can be enclosed is 20,000 sq m.

The price of a four star meal, only $100 per couple decades ago, has since increased 200%. What is the current price?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Well if the price was $100 per couple and increased by 200% then it increased by 2 times the original price. So that means the price doubled so multiply. $100 by 2 which equals $200. So the current price is now $200.
