Answer:

$68.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Markup is the difference between the cost of an item and the price at which it is sold:

cost price + markup = selling price

Here, the markup is said to be 70%. The base for that percentage can be either the cost price or the selling price. The way this question is worded suggests the markup is 70% of the cost price.

So, we have ...

cost price + 0.70 × cost price = selling price

cost price × (1 + 0.70) = selling price

Then, to find the cost price, we can divide by its coefficient in this equation. Doing that gives ...

cost price = (selling price)/1.70

cost price = $117.25/1.70 = $68.97

The store's purchase price before the markup for this item was $68.97.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: 204 students

Step-by-step explanation: To find out the greatest number of students that can fit at the 17 tables in the school cafeteria, we simply need to multiply the number of students that can fit at each table by the number of tables.

12 students can fit at 1 table and there are 17 tables.

So we have (12)(17) which is 204.

So the greatest number of students that can be seated din the cafeteria is 204 students.

Find the area of the trapezoid to the nearest tenth.

erica [24]

Answer:

2.2 metres squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of this trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is denoted by:

$A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}$ , where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the parallel bases and h is the height

Here, we already know the lengths of the two bases; they are 0.9 metres and 2.3 metres. However, we need to find the length of the height.

Notice that one of the angles is marked 45 degrees. Let's draw a perpendicular line from top endpoint of the segment labelled 0.9 to the side labelled 2.3. We now have a 45-45-90 triangle with hypotenuse 2.0 metres. As one of such a triangle's properties, we can divide 2.0 by √2 to get the length of both legs:

2.0 ÷ √2 = √2 ≈ 1.414 ≈ 1.4

Thus, the height is h = 1.4 metres. Now plug all these values we know into the equation to find the area:

$A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}$

$A=\frac{(0.9+2.3)*1.4}{2}=2.2$

The answer is thus 2.2 metres squared.
