Let the number of days be x.

Jameer paints 1 wall in 3 days. In 1 day, he paints 1/3 of a wall. In x days, he paints (1/3)x walls.

June paints 2 walls in 5 days. In 1 day, she paints 2/5 of a wall. In x days, she paints (2/5)x walls.

Working together, in x days they paint (1/3)x + (2/5)x walls.

We want to know the number of days they will take to paint 10 walls, so we let the expression equal 10.

(1/3)x + (2/5)x = 10

(5/15)x + (6/15)x = 10

(11/15)x = 10

x = 10 * 15/11

x = 150/11

It will take 150/11 days which is the same as 13.6363... days or approximately 13.6 days.

The selling price of a​ refrigerator, is ​$ 796.40 . If the markup is 10 % of the​ dealer's cost, what is the​ dealer's cost of
8_murik_8 [283]

The final price (what it is selling for) is $796.40

The markup is 10% of the original price (the dealer's cost) , meaning that it is 10% more.

We need to find the original price.

We write this as an equation

The original price *110% = final price

This is because the original price is itself (100%) added with 10%

Plug in the known final price

Original Price * 110% = 796.40

Convert 110% to a decimal because the other numbers- such as the final price are also decimal numbers.

Convert 110% to a decimal by moving the decimal point up 2 spaces ( basically dividing it by 100)

110% = 1.1

So it is now

Original price *1.1 = 796.40

Divide both sides by 1.1 to isolate our unknown, the original price

Original price = $724

x = number of years

(the  ^  before the x symbolizes "to the power of," but I can't do that on my keyboard)

Step-by-step explanation:

formula i used:

A = <em>amount that you start with</em>

t = amount of years / time

%increase: you must convert your percent (4.8%) to a decimal (0.048)

A ( 1 + %increase ) ^t
