Step-by-step explanation:
Original price: $64
Markup: 0.15($64) = $9.60
New retail price: $64 + $9.60 = $73.60

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Juan cuts a piece of rope that is 16 meter long into 2 equal pieces. We are asked to find the length of each shorter piece of rope.
To find length of each shorter piece of rope, we will divide total length of rope by 2 because Juan cuts the rope into two equal pieces.


Therefore, the length of each shorter piece of rope would be 8 inches.
To determine the value of X in the given equation substitute the value of y into the equation and solve for x.
1/5x - 2/3y = 30
1/5x - 2/3(15) = 30
1/5x -10 = 30
1/5x - 10 + 10 = 30 + 10
1/5x = 40
1 = 5x • 40
1 = 200x
X = 1/200.
