if the markup formula is 40percent of cost and the selling price is 49.99what is the cost/ a 31.76 b 33.33 c 34.33 d 35.71

1 answer:

6 0

An item, x, is marked up 40% and now costs $49.99
40% is 0.40
1 times any number will be the same number so we'll use that to add on the original price to the amount of increase
(1+0.40)x=49.99
x=49.99/1.4
x=35.71 so D is the answer

Fed [463]

Answer:

0.0444 = 4.44% probability that a part chosen at random (from the sample) was defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a defective part:

0.04 of $\frac{100}{180}$ , that is, coming from A.

0.05 of $\frac{80}{180}$ , that is, coming from B. So

$p = 0.04\frac{100}{180} + 0.05\frac{80}{180} = \frac{0.04*100 + 0.05*80}{180} = 0.0444$

0.0444 = 4.44% probability that a part chosen at random (from the sample) was defective.

Bill is 15 years older than Paul. Paul is 7 years older than half Milo's age. The sum of all three ages is 85. How old is Bill?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Milo's age = x

$Paul's \ age =\dfrac{1}{2}x+7\\\\\\Bill's \ age = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 7 +15 =\dfrac{1}{2}x+22$

Sum of all three ages = 85

$x +\dfrac{1}{2}x+7 +\dfrac{1}{2}x+22 = 85\\x +\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}x+7+22 =85\\2x+29=85\\ 2x = 85-29\\\\ 2x = 56\\\\ x = \dfrac{56}{2}\\\\x =28 \ years\\\\\\Bill's \ age =\dfrac{1}{2}x+22 =\dfrac{1}{2}*28+22\\\\\\= 14+22\\$
