Answer: The markup on the T-shirts is $ 13.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Markup is the difference between the selling price of a product and cost price.
Given : The cost price of each t-shirt = $1.50
The selling price of each t-shirt = $15
Then ,the markup on the T-shirts = (Selling price of each t-shirt) -( Cost price of each t-shirt)
i.e. The markup on the T-shirts = $15- $1.50= $ 13.50
Hence, the markup on the T-shirts is $ 13.50.
On average, 2 will fall apart. We can tell this by making a proportion.
1/20 = x/40 ---> cross multiply
1*40 = 20*x ---> multiply
40 = 20x ----> divide by 20
2 = x
n=2
8+8(8-n)=40+8n (distribute 8 through the parenthesis)
8+64-8n=40-8n (add the numbers)
<em>72-</em>8n=40+8n (move the variable to the left side and change its sign)
<em>72</em><em>-</em>8n+8n=40
-8n+8n=40<em>-72</em> (connect like terms)
-16n = -32 (divide both sides by -16)
<u><em>n=2</em></u>
