Answer:

percent markup = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

buys 100 shirts = $2400

buys 1 shirt = $2400/ 100

= $24

sells 1 shirt = $30

percent markup:

=[ ( selling price - bought price) ÷ bought price ] × 100

= [ (30-24) ÷ 24 ] × 100

= [ 6 ÷ 24 ] × 100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25 %

Answer:

There is a 25% markup

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the original cost of each shirt

$2400/ 100 shirts

$24/ shirt

Mark up = ( new price - original price) / original price

= ( 30-24) / 24

= 6/24

= 1/4

= .25

25%

There is a 25% markup

What is the term, coefficient, constant, and factor of 1/2(base1 + base2)h? (Formula used to find area of trapezoid)

vovangra [49]

Answer:

i. Term = $\frac{b_{1}h }{2}$ + $\frac{b_{2}h }{2}$

ii. Coefficient = $\frac{1}{2}$

iii. Constant = $\frac{1}{2}$

iv. Factor = $\frac{h}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral which has its base parallel to the opposite side. It's area can be determined by;

Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $b_{1}$ + $b_{2}$ )h

Where $b_{1}$ is the measure of length of its fist base, $b_{2}$ is the measure of its second base and h is its height.

Considering the given question,

Term = $\frac{b_{1}h }{2}$ + $\frac{b_{2}h }{2}$

Coefficient = $\frac{1}{2}$

Constant = $\frac{1}{2}$

Factor = $\frac{h}{2}$

Dalia saved $3000 last year. She said $600 in the month of January. What percent of the total amount of money she saved last yea

Anni [7]

1. We assume, that the number 3000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. 
3. If 100% equals 3000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000. 
4. We know, that x% equals 600 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=600. 
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000
2) x%=600
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=3000/600
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 600 is what percent of 3000

100%/x%=3000/600
(100/x)*x=(3000/600)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x
100/5=x 
20=x 
x=20
So 600 is 20% of 3000
