Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of nickel be x

Let the amount of pennies be y

Let the amount of quarters be z

If the the total value of the coins is 3.88, then;

x+y+z = 3.88 .... 1

If Anita has 4 more nickels than pennies, then;

x = y + 4 ... 2

If she has 2 more than 4 times the number of quarters than pennies, then;

y = 2 + 4z

4z = y-2

z = (y-2)/4 ...3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1

y+4+y+(y-2)/4 = 3.88

4y+16+4y + y-2 = 15.52

9y + 14 = 15.52

9y = 15.52 - 14

9y = 1.52

y = 1.52/9

y = 0.17

Since x = y + 4

x = 0.17+4

x  = 4.17

z = y-2/4

z = 0.17-2/4

z = -1.83/4

z = - 0.46

Halim makes a profit of 120% on his cost price by selling a pair of shoes of $45. i) Find the cost pricer of the pair of shoes i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

a. $20.45

b. $24.55

c. $4.55

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the cost price and profit or loss selling a pair of shoes.

we proceed as follows

Firstly, we want to find the cost price given the selling price and the mark up percentage.

mathematically;

profit =( selling price - cost price)/cost price * 100%

here our profit is 120% with the cost price being $45. we plug these values

120 = 45-cp/cp * 100%

120cp = 100(45-cp)

120cp = 4500 -100cp

220cp = 4500

cp = 4500/220 = $20.45

His profit is selling price - cost price = 45 - 20.45 = $24.55

His profit selling same shoe for $25 is 25-20.45 = $4.55
