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>
Answer:
work is shown and pictured
If your numbers are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2, then at the end of round 2 brian would have lost 7 points in total
So remember the formula for working out the slope:
(y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1)
We already know two points:
(11, 5) and (20, 5) (Remember points are like (x, y)
Therefore y2 = 5 and y1 = 5 and x2 = 20 and x1 = 11
Substitute these into the formula from the start:
(y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1)
(5 - 5) ÷ (20 - 11)
0 ÷ 9
And we can determine the slope is equal to 0 as 0 ÷ 9 = 0
The greatest common factor of 10 is 10 and the least common factor of 15 is 15
Hope I helped!!!!!
