Need help filling in the blanks: selling price using markup.

Mathematics

Xelga [282]3 years ago

Answer:

Refer to the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take each one at a time.

1.

To solve for the complement, we simply subtract our markup rate by 100%.

100% - 30% = 70%

Now to solve for the selling price, we use the formula

SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}

SellingPrice=\dfrac{86.74}{0.70}

Selling Price = $123.91

2.

We do the same process with the first number.

100% - 40% = 60%

SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}

SellingPrice=\dfrac{220.00}{0.60}

SellingPrice = $366.67

3.

The same as the first two.

100% - 20% = 80%

SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}

SellingPrice=\dfrac{89.50}{0.80}

SellingPrice = $111.88

4.

Now to solve for the markup rate, we use the formula:

MarkupRate=\dfrac{Markup}{SelingPrice}

In this case we first need to find the markup. The markup is the difference between the selling price and the cost.

Selling Price = $235.28

Cost = $199.99

Markup = $235.28 - $199.99

Markup = $35.29

Now the we know our markup, we can then solve for the markup rate using the formula.

MarkupRate=\dfrac{Markup}{SelingPrice}

MarkupRate=\dfrac{35.29}{235.28}

MarkupRate = 0.1499 x 100 = 14.99% or 15%

5.

Now for the last one, we need to find for the cost. Let's use the selling price formula to find for the cost.

SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}

Selling Price = $30.77

Complement = 65% or 0.65

This will then give us.

30.77=\dfrac{Cost}{0.65}

We multiple both sides of the equation by 0.65 to leave our cost alone.

30.77 x 0.65 = Cost

Cost = $20

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

I believe it would be 192 milligrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

They said the amount of sodium is equal to the amount of ounces meaning it would be 6ounce:96milligrams. In this case, doubling 6 would be 12, resulting in doubling 96 as well. I'm not 100% sure, this problem contains an unnecessary amount of information for a simple concept.

A chemist mixes a 10% hydrogen peroxide solution with a 25% hydrogen peroxide solution to create 30 liters of a 15% hydrogen per
FromTheMoon [43]
Your two equations are at the top, in the box is what each variable represents. Below the box is total liters of the 15%, which is going to equal the total liters for 10% plus the total liters for 25%. Make your percentages into decimals. There’s a total of 30 liters so, x+y needs to equal 30. Isolate a variable, I chose y, you can do either or (isolating x would be more math). Y is going to equal 30-x, substitute that for the Y in the second equation, then you need to distribute 0.25 into 30-x. Then it’s simple math, subtract 7.50 from both sides, add like gets, divide both sides by -0.15, making x=20.

Root of 49

Solutions are 7 and -7

We know that 7 is the square root of 49.

A negative number multiplied by itself gives positive
So -7 is also a square root of 49
