Answer:

5/18

First, identify how many blue marbles there are (5). That's what the numerator (the top number on the fraction) is going to be. From there, take all the numbers given (5, 2, 6, and 5) and add them up (18). This is what you're goign to put as the denominator (the number on the bottom). Lastly, go and make sure that it can't be simplified at all (find the least common factor of the two if there is one.)

Kabul’s bookshop marks up all books by 40 percent of their cost. The overhead rate is 16 percent of the selling price. What is t

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The net profit rate on the book is 5.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The marks up percentage of book = m = 40%

The overhead rate is 16% of selling price

The cost price of book = c.p = $18.10

Let The profit = $p

Let The selling price = s.p

Now, According to question

mark up percentage = $\dfrac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$

I.e 40% = $\dfrac{s.p - 18.10}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{40}{100}$ + 1 = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{140}{100}$ = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, s. p = $\dfrac{140\times 18.10}{100}$

∴ s.p = $25.34

So, selling price of book = s.p = $25.34

Now, The overhead percentage = 16%

i.e overhead rate = $\dfrac{\textrm estimated cost}{\textrm estimated total base unit}$

Or, estimated cost = 16% × 25.34

I,e estimated cost = 0.16 × 25.34

∴ estimated cost = $4.05

Now,

Profit = selling price of book - estimated book cost

I.e p = $25.34 - $4.05

∴ p = $21.29

So, The profit rate% = $\dfrac{\textrm profit}{\textrm estimated cost}$

I.e The profit rate% = $\dfrac{21.29}{4.05}$

∴ profit rate %= 5.41

So, The profit rate = p = 5.41

Hence, The net profit rate on the book is 5.41 Answer

If three times a number minus 2 equals 13, what is the number?

Nana76 [90]

Change the messy words into numerals
3 times a number minus 2    equals    13
3 × n - 2 = 13

3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2) = 13 + (2)
3n = 15

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
$\frac{3n}{3}$ = $\frac{15}{3}$
3 and 3 cancels out

n = 5

check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3   × 5 - 2 = 13
15 - 2 = 13
13 =    13

The number is 5
