Answer:
Profit % = 39%
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost price of the article = 9
Price for repairing = 4
Therefore, Total cost of the article = 9 + 4 = 13
Selling price of the article = 18
Profit = 18 - 13 = 5
Hence,


Profit percent (to the nearest %) = 39%

I would say too broad.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: $531.51
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial balance of 500
If he made deposits into his account that means he added to his existing balance so his new balance would be the initial 500 plus all the deposits:
500 + 100 + 250 + 300 = 1150
so after the deposits he has a new balance of 1150. He then withdrew money which means he's subtracting from his balance so his new balance will be his current balance minus all the withdraws:
1150 - 400.32 - 100 - 55.55 - 62.62 = 531.51
I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
