Answer:
11.33
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the markup
8.80 * 25%
8.8 *.25 = 2.20
The new price is 8.80+2.20 = 11
Now find the tax
11*.03
.33
Add the tax to the new price
11+.33
11.33
Answer:
y = 9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both triangles are said to be similar, the proportion or ratio of the sides of both triangles would be equal.
Therefore, 39/y = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75
Let's find y
39/y = 23/5.75
==>Cross multiply
39*5.75 = 23*y
224.25 = 23y
==>Divide both sides by 23
224.25/23 = y
9.75 = y
y = 9.75
Check:
Thus,
39/9.75 = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75 = 4
Our answer y, which is 9.75, is correct.
4.08, or 4 2/25 :) hope this helps
