9514 1404 393
Answer:
33.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
The selling price of £42 is (1 +40%) times the total purchase price.
1.40 × purchase price = £42
purchase price = £42/1.40 = £30
The total profit is 40% of this, so is ...
£30 × 40% = £12
The purchase price of the skirt is ...
total cost - glove cost = skirt cost = £30 -3 = £27
The profit on the skirt is ...
total profit - glove profit = skirt profit = £12 -100% × £3 = £9
Then the percentage profit on the skirt is ...
skirt profit % = skirt profit / skirt cost × 100% = £9/£27 × 100% = 33.3%
The percentage profit on the cost of the skirt was 33.3%.
Answer:
11 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to check what variables we have.
Beginning Balance = $1000
Goal = $350
Withdrawal = $55 per week
Now let's declare a variable as the number of weeks.
Let x = number of weeks
1000 - 55x = 350
-55x = 350-1000
-55x = -650
Then we divide both sides by -55 to find the value of x.
x = 11.81 or 11 since we're looking for how many weeks in total
Now let's see if we still have 350 if we have a total of 11 as the value of x.
1000 - 55(11) = 350
1000 - 605 = 350
395 = 350
We can see that Kendall will have $395 compared to the $350 goal.
So Kendall can withdraw $55 a week for 11 weeks to still be within her goal of having $350 in her savings account.
Answer:
36 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of women to men working at a grocery store is 4 to 5.
The ratio =
Women : Men
4 : 5
The sum of the proportion is 4 + 5 = 9
There are 16 women working at the store .
Let us represent the total number of people working at a grocery store as x
Hence:
4/9 of x = 16 women
4/9 × x = 16
4x/9 = 16
Cross Multiply
4x = 16 × 9
x = 16 × 9/4
x = 36 people
The total number of people working in the grocery store is 36 people
