Answer:

$6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one book =  $5.40

cost of 1000 books = 1000* Cost of one book  =  $5.40*1000 = $5400

Transportation cost for all the books = $200

Thus, total cost for all the books = cost of 1000 books + Transportation cost for all the books  = $5400 + $200 = $5600.

Given , trader wants to earn a profit of 12.5%

thus, we find 12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader

12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader = 12.5/100 *  $5600. = $700

Thus, total profit for 1000 books will be $700

we know that

selling price = cost price + profit

therefore, in the given problem

selling price for 1000 books =  total cost for 1000 books + total profit

substituting the value as calculated above

selling price for 1000 books = $5600 + $700 = $6300

To find selling price for one book, lets divide LHS and RHS by 1000

selling price for 1000/100 books = $6300/1000 = $6.3

Thus, trader should sell each book at $6.3 to earn a profit of 12.5%.

****ASAP*****<br> can someone pls help me with this? and can you describe it please?
Studentka2010 [4]

Add 165 to 245. That is a total of 410kWh.

245kWh is more than 50% of 410kWh.

So, according to the plan, you will pay NightTimer rate for kWh at night and DayTimer rate during the day.

The work done:

(165*0.05281)+(245*0.05456)\\8.71365+13.3674=22.08085

The raw, accurate, answer is that the value to pay is $22.08085.

In real terms, it is closer to your $22.08 option. That is the one I'd take.
