Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Solve for a
That means ----> Isolate the variable a
Factor 3 in the numerator right side
Simplify right side
subtract a both sides
subtract 1 both sides
Rewrite
1. total volume of box=2.5(V)D
2. 7 Drawers
2.5 = V
so 1 draw = 2.5 cubic inches of volume
so V(2.5) × D(number of drawers) = total volume of drawers in the box
Answer:the amount that the bookstore pay the publisher for the book is $64.4
Let x represent the amount that the bookstore pay the publisher for the book.
The college bookstore marks up the price that it pays the publisher for a book by 35%. This means that the value of the mark up would be
35/100 × x = 0.35 × x = 0.35x
Therefore, the amount that the bookstore is selling the book would be
x + 0.35x = 1.35x
If the selling price of a book is $ 87.00, then it means that
1.35x = 87
x = 87/1.35 = 64.4
