Answer:

1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

original price + markup = retail

The markup = original * markup percentage

original  + original * markup percent= retail

Factor out the original

original( 1+ markup percent) = retail

original ( 1 + 60%) = 2

Change to decimal form

original ( 1+ .60) = 2

original ( 1.60) = 2

Divide each side by 1.6

original = 2/1.6

original =1.25

Parallel, therefore gradient is the same = 2
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y+2=2(x-3)
y+2=2x-6

A health club sold ten memberships in one week for total of $3000. If male memberships cost $300 and female memberships cost $30
Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason you haven't gotten an answer to this is because in its current formatting, there is no answer. Here's what I mean:

The first equation is going to be concerning the NUMBER of memberships sold, where m is male and f is female. The total number of memberships was 10:

m + f = 10

Now for the money equation. The total amount of money made from that number of memberships was 3000, where male memberships cost $300 and so do the female memberships, giving us an equation of

300m + 300f = 3000

Go back to the first equation and solve for either m or f. I solved for m in terms of f:

m = 10 - f and sub that into the second equation for m to get:

300(10 - f) + 300f = 3000 and

3000 - 300f + 300f = 3000. Here is where you find the problem. The -300f and the 300f cancel each other out, leaving you with the fact that

3000 = 3000 which it does, but it doesn't give us any viable answer.

I would have to say that since we can't do math on this, that the most credible answer you'll find is that the same number of male and female memberships were sold because 5 male memberships cost $1500 (5 memberships at $300 a piece is $1500) and 5 female memberships also cost $1500.

1500 + 1500 = 3000
