Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
just divide in a calculator
Ok so x is the original price and we want to solve if the original price was 48 so x=48. When we substitute this into the equation we get 0.75(48)-0.15(0.75x48). When we simplify this expression we get 30.6. The current price is $30.60. Hope this helps.
Answer:
There are equal ratios
Step-by-step explanation:
100/25=4 and 15x4 is 60
100/20=5 and 12x5 is also 60
Hi there! So the the new price is $93, and went up from $55. Let's subtract the numbers. 93 - 55 is 38. The change is 38. To find the percent markup, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
38/55 = x/100
This is because the amount of change goes above the original (55), and x represents the percent out of 100. We are looking for the markup. Let's cross multiply the values. 100 * 38 is 3,800. 55 * x is 55x. 3,800 = 55x. Now, divide each side by 55 to isolate the x. 55x/55 cancels out. 3,800/55 is 69.0909 or 69 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The percent of markup is approx. 69%.
