Answer:

Expressions C and D correctly determine the markup price.

Step-by-step explanation:

A markup in mathematics is when an object's price is raised by a certain percentage. Therefore, because we are told that the telescope is originally $400 and is marked up by 32%, we can actually mathematically evaluate this.

When you markup a price, you multiply the original price by 1+x, where x is the percentage at which the object is marked up. However, x needs to be in decimal form for it to work out.

\frac{32}{100} = \small\boxed{0.32}

Therefore, with this new decimal, we can add 1 to it.

1 + 0.32=\small\boxed{1.32}

Finally, we multiply this result by the original price.

1.32 \times 400=\small\boxed{528}

Therefore, we can already confirm that Expression C is one way to find the markup price.

  • We can eliminate expression A because it did not use the formula 1+x. It only uses the decimal form of the percentage.
  • We can eliminate expression B because the division to convert from the percentage form to the decimal form is flawed (the expression divided by 10 instead of 100) and also forgot to add 1 to the determined value.

Now, we can test the math for expressions D and E to see if either of these will equal $528.

Expression D is basically saying to add 32% of 400 to the original price. This would work out because we marked up the original price by 32%. Therefore, we can confirm that Expression D is also an expression that can be used to determine the markup price.

400 + 400(0.32)\\400(0.32) = 128\\400 + 128 = \small\boxed{528}

Finally, we also need to check expression E. This expression is saying to add the already marked up price to 400. This would not be correct.

400 \times 400(1.32)\\400(1.32) = 528\\400 \times 528 = \small\boxed{\$ 211,200}

Therefore, it has been determined that Expression C & Expression D are both equations that will find a markup price.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1/2 is the fractional part of cookie which was eaten by Dan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dan has 2 1/2 cookies and ate 1/2, so we can just subtract the 2 1/2-1/2

which cancels out the 1/2, which is the fractional part.

He has 2 cookies left.

A shop sells 3 types of boots football boots rugby boots and hiking boots sales are usually sold in the ratio 6:2:3 last moth 24
salantis [7]

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the ratios is 6 + 2 + 3 = 11

Let b = total number of boots sold last week

If 24 football boots are sold, the equation representing this =

6/11 x b = 24

To solve for b, divide both sides by 11/6

b = 44 =  total number of boots sold last week
