The best way to do this is to set up a proportion

united services and supplies reports net income of $100000 and cost of goods of $353000. If US&S's gross profit rate was 30%

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Net sales is $ 504285.71

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

Let net sales be x.

Net sales - Cost of goods sold = Gross profit

We replace and we are left with:

x - $ 353000 = x * 30%

x - $ 353000 = 0.30 * x

x - 0.30 * x = $ 353000

0.7 * x = $ 353000

x = $ 353000 / 0.7

x = $ 504285.71

Therefore, net sales is $ 504285.71

Monganville and Newton are 24 miles apart. On a map the two cities are 3 inches apart. What is the map scale?

Reil [10]

One inch equals 8 miles, or in math terms, this is how we figure It out...

$24m = 3in$

To find the scale we need to find what one inch equals on the map, dmto do this we divide both sides by 3 in. and get 8 miles in reality equals one map inch.
