For this case we have to represent the following expression algebraically:
"10 less than x is -45"
So:
10 less than x is represented as:
Then, the complete expression is represented as:
Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:
Thus, the value of the variable is
Answer:
Let x be marked up price. We have been given that a chemistry set costing $27.50, marked up 32% on cost.
Therefore, mark up price is $8.80.
Since we know that selling price of any item equals the sum of cost and mark-up price of the item.
Let us find selling price of our chemistry set.
Therefore, the selling price of the chemistry set is $ 36.30.
