Answer:
75 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
If an item is 50 and you want to markup 50%, you must find 50% of 50 to find how much the item will go up by from 50.
So 50% of 50 means 50% times 50.
50%=.5 or 1/2
So .5(50)=25.
The item is going up by 25 dollars.
So we started at 50 dollars.
So 50+25 is going to be the new amount.
50+25=75 is the new amount.
I think that the answer is 0.9
Hi there!
PART A:
The system of equations we would use would be:
x + y = 22 (amount of items)
3x + 1y = 30 (cost)
Variables:
x = the amount of strawberry wafers bought at the price of $3
y = the amount of chocolate wafers bought at the price of $1
PART B:
To solve, we'll use substitution because we can easily isolate a variable using the first equation.
Work:
x + y = 22 (first equation)
y = 22 - x (isolating a variable)
3x + 1y = 30 (second equation)
3x + (22 - x) = 30 (substituting into the second equation)
2x + 22 = 30 (simplifying)
2x = 8 (subtracting)
x = 4 strawberry wafers
4 + y = 22 (substituting x into the first equation to solve for y)
y = 18 chocolate wafers
ANSWER:
They bought 4 strawberry wafers and 18 chocolate wafers.
Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:
a = - 4, b = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the left side, then compare the coefficients of like terms.
- 3(2x² + ax + b)
= - 6x² - 3ax - 3b, compare to - 6x² + 12x - 15
Compare coefficients of x- terms
- 3a = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
a = - 4
Compare constant terms
- 3b = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
b = 5
