Answer:
5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the first part of the probelm 5/6 - 2/3
You need to find a common denominator of 6 and 3
common denominator= 6
so change 2/3 to 4/6
now you can subtract the top values
5/6-4/6
5-6=1
keep the denominator the same
= 1/6
Now divide 1/6 by 4/5
to divide you are going to multiply by the reciprocal so instead of 4/5 we are going to flip it to 5/4
1/6 x 5/4
5x1=5 and 6x4=24
= 5/24
Answer:
7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
%profit = selling price - cost price/cost price * 100
If Mr. Wayne marks up every item with a profit of 25% and x be his cost for a calculator, the expression for the selling price can be gotten by substituting the parameters into the formula;
25 = sp-cp/cp * 100
25/100 = sp-x/x
0.25 = sp-x/x
cross multiply
0.25x = sp-x
add x to both sides
0.25x+x = sp-x+x
1.25x = sp
selling price = 1.25x
<em>Hence an expression for the selling price of the calculator is 1.25x</em>
<em></em>
b) If Mr wayne paid $25, the selling price is derived by substituing x = $25 into the expression in (a)
selling price = 1.25x
selling price = 1.25($25)
selling price = $31.25
c) If the selling price is $86, to get the cost of the calculator, substitute the selling price into the expression in (a)
selling price = 1.25x
$86= 1.25x
x is the cost price of the calculator
divide both sides by 1.25
$86/1.25= 1.25x/1.25
x = $68.8
<em>Hence Wayne paid $68.8 for a calculator that he sells for $86.</em>
