So, what we need to do is find out the chance you will pull an M or an L out of the scrabble bag on your next turn.
Our first step is finding out how many pieces total are in the bag. This will become the denominator in our answer. To do this, we just need to add up all the pieces we know are in the bag! From the question, we know there are <span>5 As, 3 Es, 1 Z, 2 Ms, 3 Ls, and 1 <span>Y left in the bag. So 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 +1 should give us 15 total pieces to pick from.
Next, we need to know the total of Ls and Ms left in the bag that we want to pick. This number will be the numerator in our answer. From the question, we know there are 2 Ms and 3 Ls in the bag. Because 2+3 = 5, that means out final fraction for this problem should be 5/15!
Unfortunately, that is not an actual answer for the question, so that means we have to simplify by finding the biggest number that goes into both the top and bottom of our fraction. To get 5, we can only use the numbers 1 and 5. To get 15, we can use 1, 3, 5, and 15. From this, it looks like both the top and the bottom are divisible by 5. When we divide the top by 5 we end up with a 1, and when we divide the bottom by 5 we end up with a 3, meaning our final fraction is D) 1/3!</span></span>
Answer:
-25 ,B
Step-by-step explanation:
The markdown price
= the percent × regular price
the sale price
= regular price - markdown price
= regular price - the percent × regular price
= regular price×(1 - the percent)
Answer:
$68.97
Step-by-step explanation:
Markup is the difference between the cost of an item and the price at which it is sold:
cost price + markup = selling price
Here, the markup is said to be 70%. The base for that percentage can be either the cost price or the selling price. The way this question is worded suggests the markup is 70% of the cost price.
So, we have ...
cost price + 0.70 × cost price = selling price
or
cost price × (1 + 0.70) = selling price
__
Then, to find the cost price, we can divide by its coefficient in this equation. Doing that gives ...
cost price = (selling price)/1.70
cost price = $117.25/1.70 = $68.97
The store's purchase price before the markup for this item was $68.97.
