Answer:

The markup percentage is 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of markup could be calculated by dividing the profit of the pants by the retailer price. In this case we can calculate the profit and then the markup percentage, this is:

$Profit=42.00-28.00=14.00$

The profit is $14.00, now we can calculate the markup percentage:

$Markup=\frac{14.00}{28.00} =0.5$

Now the percentage:

$Markup=0.5*100=50$

The markup percentage is 50%.

Solve x -2/3(3x - 4) + 3x = 5/6 is x -19/6, 11/6, 21/6, 29/6

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

x=-11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an equation for x

x -2/3(3x - 4) + 3x = 5/6

We are asked to find the value of x.

We use equation rules to solve

To get rid of denominator in fraction, let us multiply the whole equation by 6.

6x-4(3x-4) +18x = 5

Simplify:

-6x+18x+16 =5

12x = 5-16 = -11

x = -11/12

Cos (90-theta) • cosec90-theta) =tano. How?

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<u>______________________________________________________</u>

<u>TRIGONOMETRY IDENTITIES TO BE USED IN THE QUESTION :-</u>

For any right angled triangle with one angle α ,

$\cos (90 - \alpha ) = \sin \alpha$ or $\sin(90 - \alpha ) = \cos\alpha$

$cosec \: (90 - \alpha ) = \sec\alpha$ or $\sec(90 - \alpha ) = cosec\:\alpha$

<u>SOME GENERAL TRIGNOMETRIC FORMULAS :-</u>

<u></u> $\sin \alpha = \frac{1}{cosec \: \alpha }$ or $cosec \: \alpha = \frac{1}{\sin \alpha }$

<u></u> $\cos \alpha = \frac{1}{\sec \alpha }$ or $\sec \alpha = \frac{1}{\cos \alpha }$

<u>______________________________________________________</u>

Now , lets come to the question.

In a right angled triangle , let one angle be α (in place of theta) .

So , lets solve L.H.S.

$\cos (90 - \alpha ) \times cosec(90 - \alpha )$

$=> sin\alpha \times \sec\alpha$

$=> \sin\alpha \times \frac{1}{\cos\alpha }$

$=> \frac{\sin\alpha }{\cos\alpha }$

$=> \tan\alpha$ = R.H.S.

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Proved)

At a surf shop in Malibu, California, a used blue surfboard is on sale for $100. According to the salesperson, the new price rep

Leokris [45]

Answer:

$125

Step-by-step explanation:

if there was a discount of 20%, the sales price is 100 - 20 = 80% of the original price

let a = original price

this equation can be used to represent the question

a x 0.8 = 100 ]]divide both sides by 0.8

a = 100 / 0.8 = 125
