Answer: 30% or $ 135.
Explanation
The mark up is generally expressed as a percentage. It is the percent increase on the cost.
We can calculate the mark up from cost to sale price of the item as a composition of steps. That is what the next steps show.
1) First step: calculate the the price after the item is marked down by 10%:
Selling price: $ 650
Mark down = 10% of 650 = 0.10 × $ 650 = $65
Price after mark down: $ 650 - $ 65 = $ 585.
2) Second step: difference of the price marked down to the cost:
$ 585 - $ 450 = $ 135
3) Calculate the percent mark up:
% mark up = (mark up / cost) × 100 = ($ 135 / $ 450) × 100 = 30%
C.171
Step-by-step explanation:
4×7(2)-25
4×49-25
multiply 4×49=196-25
then subtract 196-25=171
Answer:
46.08 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 pounds weight stretches a spring to 18 inches
A pound weight will stretch 18inches divided by 2.5 pounds
= 7.2 inches
6.4 pounds will stretch = 7.2 X 6.4
= 46.08 inches
5x + 3 = 3x + 11
• first put all the x-values on one side and the rest on the other
Remember: when the number moves to the other side of the equal sign the sign (+ OR - switches. For ex: the 3 on the left becomes negative when moved to the right side of the equal sign)
5x - 3x = 11 - 3
• subtract left and right sides separately
2x = 8
• divide both sides by 2 to solve for x
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4 (final answer)
