Let selling price = SP and cost price = CP

He makes 20 % on selling price means = >

(sp-cp) / sp = 20 % = 20/100 = 0.2

(sp - cp) / sp = 0.2

1 - cp/sp = 0.2

1 - 0.2 = cp/sp

0.8 = cp/sp

Reversing 1 / 0.8 = sp/cp = 1.25

We need to find profit on cost price means =

=(sp-cp)/ cp

= sp/cp - 1 = 1.25 - 1 = 0.25

Means 25 % profit on cost price : Answer

Hope that will help :)

A fish market bought two swordfish at a rate of $13 per pound. the cost of the larger fish was 3 times as great as the cost of t
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Very simple. divide 3952 by 4, because the larger fish is 3 times the amount of the small fish, so there are 4 groups. Multiply it by 3 for the larger fish and keep it for the small fish.  Then, divide the products by 13 because the quotient is the amount of money each fish costs. There you have your answer!

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Each friend will get  \frac{1}{18} of whole pan of corn bread

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Corn bread left = \frac{1}{3}

Total number of friends = 2

So the left bread will divide into 2 parts

So, each person will get = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{1}{3} ) = \frac{1}{6} of the left bread

Now,

Left bread = \frac{1}{3} of whole bread

And

Each person get  =  \frac{1}{6} of the left bread

                            = \frac{1}{6} ×\frac{1}{3} of whole bread

                            = \frac{1}{18}of whole bread

∴ we get

Each friend will get  \frac{1}{18} of whole pan of corn bread
