Answer: $57.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A businesswoman sells a bag for $52.32.

Let cuurent selling price : SP = $52.32

As they are making 9% profit now.

That means SP= Cp +0.09 CP , where Cp is the cost price of bag.

i..e 52.32=Cp(1+0.09) \ \text{[Substituted value of SP in LHS and taking Cp common outside in RHS]}

\Rightarrow\ 52.32=Cp(1.09)\Rightarrow\ CP=\dfrac{52.32}{1.09}=48

i..e Cost price of bag = 48

Selling price to gain 20% profit = Cp+0.20CP

= CP(1+0.20)

=48 (1.20)

= 57.6

Hence, the  selling price the businesswoman should ask in order to make 20% profit​ = $57.6

Three fourths of a number p less than two is five sixths of another number r plus five solve for r
maw [93]
r = -3/4p - 18/5 
(or you could put 3.6 or 3 3/5 instead of 18/5)

2 - 3/4p = 5/6r + 5 
-5                     -5
-3 - 3/4p = 5/6r
 /(5/6)       /(5/6) 
-18/5 - 3/4p = r 
-3/4p - 18/5 = r
