Answer:
$1,562.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Markup= (selling price- cost)/cost
Let cost be represented by C
0.20 = (1875-C)/ C
0.20C = 1875 - C
0.20C+ C = 1875
1.20C=1875
Divide both sides by 1.20;
C= 1875/1.20
C= $1,562.50
The wholesale cost was $1,562.50
<h3><u>Answer</u>:- </h3>
<h3><u>Solution:-</u></h3>
<u>Given </u><u>that </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
- job last for h hours
- Cost of job lasting more than 1 hour = $30
- Cost for the first hour = $75
Remaining hours for which the job will last after first hour= (h-1)
<u>Therefore</u>,
Cost for subsequent hours = 30×(h-1)
= 30(h-1)
Total Cost for job = Cost for 1st hour + Cost for subsequent hours
Let's rewrite the equation with x and y on the left side of the equal sign.
5x-4y=8 --------(1)
3x-3y=3---------(2)
Divide equation (2) by 3,
x - y= 1
now we have,
5x-4y = 8 --------(1)
x - y = 1 ---------(2)
To eliminate x, multiply equation (2) by 5. This makes both the coefficients of x to be 5. Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
5x - 4y = 8
(2) * 5 5x - 5y = 5
(-) (+) (-)
----------------
0x +y =3
Therefore, y=3
Substitute the value of y, in any one of the two equations. Let's substitute y in the second equation.
x-3=1
x=4
x=4 and y=3
