Answer:

$35.20

Step-by-step explanation:

For a profit of 24% on $34.10, this means that;

34.10 is 24% greater than the cost price

since;  Profit = Selling price - cost price

To find the cost price (x):

Let the cost price be a 100%  and the selling price of $34.10 be 124%

Now lets find the cost price

if 34.10 = 124%

then, x = 100%

x / 34.10 = 100% / 124 %

This gives;

124x = 34.10 (100)

124x = 3410

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 124

x = $27.50

Now lets find the selling price for a profit of 28%

28% of 27.5 = 7.70

from; Profit = Selling price - cost price

7.70 = Selling price - 27.50

Subtracting 7.7 from both sides we have;

Selling price = 27.50 + 7.70

Selling price = $35.20

Therefore, the selling prices for a profit of 28% is $35.20

Tri. prism:

B = base = 1/2 a c

base = 1/2 * 6 * 6 = 18

volume = Bh

v = 18*4

v = 72

Rec. prism

volume = 4*6*6

v = 144

total volume = 144+72

vt = 212

2)

top rec.  = 2*3*5=30

bot rec. = 4*5*6=120

vt = 30 + 120

vt = 150

Brad buys two packages of mushrooms. He paid $11.25 for 2/3 lb of Cremini mushrooms and $7.99 for 1/2 lb of Chanterelle mushroom
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

C. (Chanterelle mushrooms cost less by $0.90)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 11.25 by 2/3, for the total amount of pound for the Cremini.

Do the same thing for Chanterelle, but the numbers given for it.

We than find out that Cremini=16.87, and Chanterelle=15.98

Now that we know Cremini is more that Chanterelle, we need to find the difference, by subtracting The bigger number by the smaller number.

Our answer is 0.89, but we will round it to 0.90.

Now we know that the Cremini costs more by $0.90, and the Chanterelle costs less by $0.90
