Answer:

The markup rate is 51% on the cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of book = 7.99

Cost to the store = 5.29

The markup rate is a term used to figure what percentage is added on to the cost of the item to find its selling price.

If we subtract cost from the price we will know how much is added to actual cost: 7.99 - 5.29 = 2.7

Markup rate = \frac{added value}{cost}

Markup rate = \frac{2.7}{5.29} = 0.51

Markup rate is 0.51*100 = 51%

Solve for x. <br><br> Please help !
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

  1. x = 37 1/2
  2. x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines divide transversals proportionally. I like to write the proportions so the variable is in the numerator. Then the solution is obtained by multiplying by the denominator of the variable term.

1. x/20 = (46 -16)/16

  x = 20(30/16)

  x = 37.5

__

2. (x +4)/13.5 = 4/9

  x +4 = 13.5(4/9) = 6

  x = 6 -4

  x = 2

Mr. Timmons wanted to fence in his rectangular back yard so that his son could play soccer. He bought 180 feet of fencing, which
elixir [45]

Answer:

The length of the yard is 60 feet while the width is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of Mr. Timmon's backyard is double the width, then the dimensions are related by the following expression:

length = 2*width

We also know the perimetter, since he has the exact length of fence to surround his whole yard, which is 180 feet. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

Therefore,

180 = 2*length + 2*width

With the length being double the width, we have:

180 = 2*(2*width) + 2*width

180 = 4*width + 2*width

6*width = 180

width = 180/6 = 30

length = 2*width = 2*30 = 60

The length of the yard is 60 feet while the width is 30 feet.
