First, what you want to do is subtract the price you sell it for by how much you got it for.

In this case, your equation would look like this: 114 - 90 = 24

You added $24 to the price that you bought. The amount added to the price would be $24

Then you would divide the amount added to the price by the amount it costed you to buy. It would end up as a decimal:

24 ÷ 90 = 0.266 (infinite 6's)

Then with the decimal you got, you would multiply it by 100 to get the markup rate percentage.

0.266 × 100 = 26.66

The markup rate would be 26.66% (26.7 if you round).

The area of a square is 144cm2.what is the measurement of each side

Dmitry [639]

The area of a square is 144 cm^2. The measurement of each side is 12 cm

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The area of a square is 144 $cm^2$

We have to find that what is the measurement of each side.

Now, we know that, area of a square = product of side value with another side value.

Let the side value of given square be "s"

Then, <em>Area of square is given as:</em>

$\begin{array}{l}{\text {area of square}=s \times s} \\\\ {\text {Area of square}=s^{2}} \\\\ {144=s^{2}} \\\\ {s=\sqrt{144}} \\\\ {s=\sqrt{12^{2}}}\end{array}$

On cancelling square root and square on right side,we get

s = 12

Hence, the side value of the square is 12 cm.

Dimensions of a Box A large plywood box has a volume of . Its length is ft greater than its height, and its width is ft less tha

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Few things are missing, they are volume of the box is 180 feet cube. Length is 9 feet greater than its height, and weight is 4 feet less than its height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the volume of the box, V = 180 feet cube

Let the height of the box, h = x feet

Therefore, length is, l = ( 9+x ) feet

And width is, b = ( x-4) feet

so volume of the box is

V = l x b x h

$180= (x+9) \times (x-4) \times (x)$

$x^3 +5x^2-36x -180 =0$

Factorizing we get

(x+5)(x-6)(x+6)=0

Therefore,

x = -5, -6, 6

Now since the height of the box cannot be negative, so taking the positive value of x, we get

Height of the box, h = x = 6 feet

Length , l = ( 9+x ) = 9+6 = 15 feet

Width , b = ( x-4) = 6-4 = 2 feet
