Answer:
62.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion. We know that $50 is the original value and $80 is the marked up price. We don't know the marked up percentage. Let's call it x. We write equal ratios of comparing percent and
comparing the 50 to the marked up price. We then set them equal.
We then cross multiply across the equal sign from numerator to the opposite numerator.
80(x)=50(100)
80x=5000
We divide to find x.
x=62.5
This means the bicycles are marked up 62.5% and the original value is 37.5%.
Answer:
39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cylinder:
The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:
How much paint will Ellis need to paint all the surfaces of the 10 fenceposts?
This is the combined volume of these 10 fenceposts.
They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot.
Radius is half the diameter, so . Also
10 fenceposts:
Each has the same volume, so:
39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.
