Solve for k by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
k = m/7
D. $112 + 0.40($112) is the answer
The wholesale price = $112
Markup percentage = 40% or 0.40
So, the expression that will give the retail price of the item = 112 + 0.40 (112)
Retail price = purchase/wholesale price plus markup
Twenty-seven minus 3/2of a number (x) is not more than 36.
27 - (3/2)X = 36
What is the number?
(3/2)X = 27 - 36 = - 9
X = (- 9x2)/3 = -18/3 = -6
Check
36 = 27 - (3/2)X = 27 - (3/2)x(-6) = 27 - (-18/2) = 27 - (-9) = 36
