First, we need to figure out 10% of fifteen.
So, we multiple 15 by 10% (or 0.1 in simpler terms).
That gives us 1.5, which is our mark-up price.
So, finally we add the markup price to the original price to obtain the selling price.
1.5 + 15 = 16.5
The owner charges $16.50 for 1kg of sugar!
10 hrs + (15/60)hr
10hrs + 0.25hr
10.25 hrs
To get rid of the 2/5 next to the g, multiply both sides by the RECIPROCAL of 2/5, which would be 5/2.
The answer is g=15/10, which simplifies to g=1 5/10 and then further simplifies (wow so much simplifying) to get g=1 1/2.
