Answer:
$1,562.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Markup= (selling price- cost)/cost
Let cost be represented by C
0.20 = (1875-C)/ C
0.20C = 1875 - C
0.20C+ C = 1875
1.20C=1875
Divide both sides by 1.20;
C= 1875/1.20
C= $1,562.50
The wholesale cost was $1,562.50
Let m and h represent hours Mai spends mowing and hauling, respectively. Then (m+h) will be the number of hours Priya spends babysitting. In order for their earnings to be equal, we must have
7m +14h = 8.40(m+h)
Subtract 7m+8.40h: 5.60h = 1.40m
Divide by 1.40: m = 4h
Then the total number of hours worked by either person is
m + h = (4h) +h = 5h
When only whole numbers of hours are worked, the smallest number of hours that will make earnings equal is 5h, with h=1, or 5 hours. In that time, each will earn 5×$8.40 = $42.
Therefore, each of them must work 5 hours and earn $42 before they go to the movies and Mai will work 4 hours mowing and 1 hour hauling.
