Answer:
33.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
The selling price of £42 is (1 +40%) times the total purchase price.
1.40 × purchase price = £42
purchase price = £42/1.40 = £30
The total profit is 40% of this, so is ...
£30 × 40% = £12
The purchase price of the skirt is ...
total cost - glove cost = skirt cost = £30 -3 = £27
The profit on the skirt is ...
total profit - glove profit = skirt profit = £12 -100% × £3 = £9
Then the percentage profit on the skirt is ...
skirt profit % = skirt profit / skirt cost × 100% = £9/£27 × 100% = 33.3%
The percentage profit on the cost of the skirt was 33.3%.

Answer:
10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the bird is 8 feet above and the badger is 2 feet below, you want to add the two lengths to get 10 feet between them.
Subtract 5y - 8 from 2y + 8
To subtract two numbers, we can do it like this:
10 - 4 = 10 + (-4)
That is, add the first number with the second number with its sign changed. For simple numbers, it does not make much difference, but for algebraic expressions, it can help a lot.
To subtract both binomials, we write the first plus the second with changed signs:
2y + 8
-5y + 8
---------------
-3y + 16
The result of the subtraction is -3y+16
