1 yd = 36 in;  20 ft 8 in = 248 in;
We will use a proportion:
36  : 24 = x : 248
24 x = 36 * 248
24 x = 8,928
x = 8,928 : 24 = 372
Answer:  C ) 372 in

Use the original price and the markup to find the retail price.
Ber [7]

Answer:

$45.15

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are dealing with questions with percents in them—like this one—you have to turn the percent into a decimal. To make 7.5% into a decimal, you move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. So, 7.5% is also 0.075.

Now, we have to use this formula for these types of questions:

x + x(y)= the price with tax (or markup)

So, we can substitute the variables.

42+42(0.075)=the retail price

42(0.075)=3.15

42+3.15=45.15

So, the retail price will be $45.15

Solve for x <br> -2^2(-5x+10)=100
masha68 [24]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

-2^2(-5x+10)=100

Solve -2^2:

-4(-5x+10)=100

Divide both sides by -4:

\displaystyle \frac{ -4(-5x+10)}{-4}=\frac{100}{-4} \\\\-5x+10=-25

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-5x+10-10=-25-10\\-5x=-35

Divide both sides by -5:

\displaystyle \frac{-5x}{-5} = \frac{-35}{-5} \\\\x=7

Therefore, x = 7.

I hope this helps!
