Answer:

The cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is <u>$42</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.

If a pair of jeans has a sales price of $52.50.

Now, to find the cost price of the store owner pay for the pair of jeans.

Let the cost price of jeans be x.

Sell price of jeans = \$52.50.

Now, to get the cost price of store owner pay for the pair of jeans:

<em>As given the</em><em> </em><em>store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.</em>

According to question:

125\%\ of\ x=52.50

\frac{125}{100} \times x=52.50

1.25x=52.50

<em>Dividing both sides by 1.25 we get:</em>

x=42.

<em>The cost price of jeans = $42.</em>

Therefore, the cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is $42.

A small garden measures 8 ft by 7 ft. A uniform border around the garden increases the total area to 110 ft 2. What is the width
Alik [6]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can answer this question by using the equation

(8+x)(7+x)=110

The x represents the width, as we do not know the area. If you simplify the equation, it becomes 56+15x+x2=110.

If you move all the terms to the left side, and rearrange it, it can become x^2+15x-54=0

This can be simplified into (x-3)(x+18)=0

This equation makes it so that x is either 3 or -18. It is not possible for a width to be -18, so the width must be 3.

HELP PLEASE!!! I am doing my math and I need someone to help me with this problem. I am very confused and my family is gone on a
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1) 250 meters= 0.25 km

2) 12 meters=  0.012km

3) 1 meter= 0.001 km

The constant of proportionality is 1000 meters in 1km (1000 meters)

I think there’s a mistake on the second part because 1 meter does not equal to 1000km. but I did part 1 for you!
