If you mean like a method to solve it fast here I have 1 solution I usually use;

3x2.7
3x.7=2.1
3x2=6
Then in the question there is 1 number behind the decimal point so the answer should have 1 number behind as well.
=8.1

A markup of 33% based on cost is desired for a load of 800 bushels of peanuts. They were purchased at $5.85 per bushel. What sho

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bushels of peanuts = 800

Price of each bushels of peanuts = $5.85

And there is mark up rate = 33%

So, Total price would be

$1.33\times 800\times 5.85\\\\=\$6224.4$

If there is spoilage rate = 21%

So, the remaining rate would be 1-0.21=0.79

so, Number of remaining bushels of peanuts would be

$0.79\times 800\\\\=632$

So, Selling price per bushel would be

$\dfrac{622.4}{632}\\\\=\$9.85$

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

To increase an amount by 24% what single multiplier would you use?

cricket20 [7]

Let x be the original amount.

Increasing x by 24% means to add 24% of x to the original amount x.

x + 24% of x = x + .24x = 1x + .24x = 1.24x.

Therefore, to increase a given amount by 24% then multiply the original amount by a single factor of 1.24 .
