What is the percent of markup

1 answer:

Answer:

The percentage of the markup is 82%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage of mark up. This is simply calculating the percentage of the profit margin.

firstly to be able to calculate this percentage, we need to know the value of the profit margin itself.

mathematically, the profit margin is selling price - cost price

From the question, the selling price is $1 while the cost price is 55 cents

The profit margin is thus $1 - 55 cents = 45 cents

We now proceed to calculate the percentage profit

mathematically, that is profit/cost price * 100%

That would be 45 cents/55 cents * 100 = 9/11 * 100% = 81.8 approximately 82%

Answer:

144m

Step-by-step explanation:

we would used tan 30 to determine the height of the building

tan 30 = opposite / adjacent

0.5774 x 250 = 144m

What is the multiplicative inverse of 5 in z11, z12, and z13? you can do a trial-and-error search using a calculator or a pc?

A multiplicative inverse of an integer a is an integer x such that the product ax is congruent to 1 with respect to the modulus m.

1. $Z_{11}=\{\overline{0},\overline{1},\overline{2},\overline{3},\overline{4},\overline{5},\overline{6},\overline{7},\overline{8},\overline{9},\overline{10}\}.$

Check:

$5\cdot 0=\overline{0};$
$5\cdot 1=\overline{5};$
$5\cdot 2=\overline{10};$
$5\cdot 3=15=\overline{4};$
$5\cdot 4=20=\overline{9};$
$5\cdot 5=25=\overline{3};$
$5\cdot 6=30=\overline{8};$
$5\cdot 7=35=\overline{2};$
$5\cdot 8=40=\overline{7};$
$5\cdot 9=45=\overline{1};$
$5\cdot 10=50=\overline{6}.$

The multiplicative inverse of 5 in $Z_{11}$ is 9.

2. $Z_{12}=\{\overline{0},\overline{1},\overline{2},\overline{3},\overline{4},\overline{5},\overline{6},\overline{7},\overline{8},\overline{9},\overline{10},\overline{11}\}.$

Check:

$5\cdot 0=\overline{0};$
$5\cdot 1=\overline{5};$
$5\cdot 2=\overline{10};$
$5\cdot 3=15=\overline{3};$
$5\cdot 4=20=\overline{8};$
$5\cdot 5=25=\overline{1};$
$5\cdot 6=30=\overline{6};$
$5\cdot 7=35=\overline{11};$
$5\cdot 8=40=\overline{4};$
$5\cdot 9=45=\overline{9};$
$5\cdot 10=50=\overline{2};$
$5\cdot 11=55=\overline{7}.$

The multiplicative inverse of 5 in $Z_{12}$ is 5.

3. $Z_{13}=\{\overline{0},\overline{1},\overline{2},\overline{3},\overline{4},\overline{5},\overline{6},\overline{7},\overline{8},\overline{9},\overline{10},\overline{11},\overline{12}\}.$

Check:

$5\cdot 0=\overline{0};$
$5\cdot 1=\overline{5};$
$5\cdot 2=\overline{10};$
$5\cdot 3=15=\overline{2};$
$5\cdot 4=20=\overline{7};$
$5\cdot 5=25=\overline{12};$
$5\cdot 6=30=\overline{4};$
$5\cdot 7=35=\overline{9};$
$5\cdot 8=40=\overline{1};$
$5\cdot 9=45=\overline{6};$
$5\cdot 10=50=\overline{11};$
$5\cdot 11=55=\overline{3};$
$5\cdot 12=60=\overline{8}.$

The multiplicative inverse of 5 in $Z_{13}$ is 8.
