Answer:
Let the retail cost be x and the wholesale cost be y
Step-by-step explanation:
x = y + 0.50y
x = 1.50y
Therefore the retail cost is 1.50 times the wholesale cost.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, we have to move all the real numbers to the other side.
5/6x = 20/24
We have divide each side by 5/6. Once we do that, we get—
x = 4/4
x = 1
The "product" of two numbers means you multiply them.
So, you are multiplying (8-n), where n = "a number," by 7.
Then, when you decrease (subtract) this product by 5, you get 40.
So the whole thing looks like
7(8-n) - 5 = 40.
