Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the original cost of a single shirt:

4000 / 500 = $8

how much did they markup:

10 - 8 = 2

percent markup:

2/8 = 0.25 x 100 = 25%

IF A LIQUID WEIGHS 2 POUNDS AND HAS A CApacity of 3 gallons. what is its density

umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.08 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mass of the liquid = 2 pounds

But; 1 pound = 453.592 g

Therefore, mass = 907.184 g

Volume of the liquid = 3 gallons

But; 1 gallon = 3785.41 cm³

Thus, volume = 11356.23 cm³

We are required to determine the density of the liquid;

We need to know that;

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Therefore;

density of the liquid = 907.184 g ÷ 11356.23 cm³

= 0.0799 g/cm³

= 0.08 g/cm³

Thus, the volume of the liquid is 0.08 g/cm³

1. Simplify. 5–1(3–2)

konstantin123 [22]

Answer with explanation:

Using following law of indices

$1.x^a \times x^b=x^{a+b}\\\\2. (x^m)^n=x^{mn}\\\\ 3. x^{-n}=\frac{1}{x^n}\\\\4. \frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$

$1.5^{-1}\times 3^{-2}=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{3^2}\\\\=\frac{1}{5\times9}\\\\=\frac{1}{45}\\\\2. \frac{mn^{-4}}{p^0*q^{-2}}=\frac{mq^2}{n^4}\\\\ 3.0.0042=4.2\times 10^3\\\\4.6.12 \times 10^3=6.12 \times 1000=6120\\\\ 5.0.5 \times(8\times10^5})=\frac{1}{2}\times8 \times 10^5=4\times 10^5\\\\6. (9 \times 10^3)^2=9^2 \times (10^3)^2=81 \times 10^6\\\\7.( \frac{1}{2}a^{-4}\times b^2 )_{a=-2,b=4}{\text{or}}( \frac{1}{2}a^{4}\times b^{-2} )_{a=-2,b=4}=\frac{1}{2}\times (-2)^{-4}\times(4)^2{\text{or}}=\frac{1}{2}\times (-2)^{4}\times(4)^{-2}=\frac{16}{2\times16}=\frac{1}{2}$

$9. (4\times x\times y^2)^3\times (xy)^5=4^3\times x^3\times (y^2)^3\times x^5 \times y^5\\\\=64\times x^{3+5}\times y^{5+6}\\\\=64x^8y^{11}\\\\10.(2\times t^3)^3(0.4\times r)^2=2^3 \times (t^3)^3\times (0.4)^2 \times r^2=8\times t^9 \times 0.16 \times r^2=1.28r^2t^9$
