Answer:
1. The new weight of elephant is 5.342 tones.
3. The number of red flowers are 280.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. weight of elephant = 6 tons
weight lost = 1450 pounds
As , 1 pound = 0.000454 ton
So, 1450 pounds = 0.658 ton
The new weight of elephant is
= 6 - 0.658 = 5.342 tones
3.
red flower to the yellow flower is 5 : 7
Number of yellow flowers = 392
Let the red flowers are R.
So,

Refer to the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take each one at a time.
1.
To solve for the complement, we simply subtract our markup rate by 100%.
100% - 30% = 70%
Now to solve for the selling price, we use the formula


Selling Price = $123.91
2.
We do the same process with the first number.
100% - 40% = 60%


SellingPrice = $366.67
3.
The same as the first two.
100% - 20% = 80%


SellingPrice = $111.88
4.
Now to solve for the markup rate, we use the formula:

In this case we first need to find the markup. The markup is the difference between the selling price and the cost.
Selling Price = $235.28
Cost = $199.99
Markup = $235.28 - $199.99
Markup = $35.29
Now the we know our markup, we can then solve for the markup rate using the formula.


MarkupRate = 0.1499 x 100 = 14.99% or 15%
5.
Now for the last one, we need to find for the cost. Let's use the selling price formula to find for the cost.

Selling Price = $30.77
Complement = 65% or 0.65
This will then give us.

We multiple both sides of the equation by 0.65 to leave our cost alone.
30.77 x 0.65 = Cost
Cost = $20
