The Bridal Shop bought a dress from a supplier for $105 wholesale and applied a 65% markup to the price. If a 7.5% sales tax wer

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 149.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part = Percent • Whole

Adding a 65% markup to the original price of 105 is simply multiplying the price by the decimal form of the markup, then adding that to the original price. Next, you would find 20% of your sum by multiplying the sum by 0.20. Then you would find 7.5% of that and add this to the price.

Solve:

105 • 0.65 = 68.25 Find 65% of 105

105 + 68.25 = 173.25 Add the markup to the price

173.25 • 0.20 = 34.65 Find the discount of the new price

173.25 - 34.65 = 138.60 Subtract discount from price

138.60 • 0.075 = 10.395 Find sales tax of new price (Or round to 10.40)

138.60 + 10.395 = 148.995 Add sales tax to new price (Or 149)

Because money only goes to the hundredths place, we can either start rounding to that place in the second to last step - rounding 10.395 to 10.40 - or we can round our answer - 148.995 rounds to 149. Either way, we will still get an answer of $149.00.

Hope this helps.

2(x - 2) = -4x + 44 what does x equal

Komok [63]

2(x - 2) = -4x + 44

First, expand. / Your problem should look like: $2x - 4 = -4x + 44$
Second, add 4 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: $2x = -4x + 44 + 4$
Third, simplify -4x + 44 + 4 to get -4x + 48. / Your problem should look like: $2x = -4x + 48$
Fourth, add 4x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: $2x + 4x = 48$
Fifth, add 2x + 4x to get 6x. / Your problem should look like: $6x = 48$
Sixth, divide both sides by 6. / Your problem should look like: $x = \frac{48}{6}$
Seventh, simplify $\frac{48}{6}$ to 8. / Your problem should look like: $x = 8$

Answer: x = 8

Answer:

x

=

4

or

x

=

−

4

Explanation:

First divide throughout by

2

to get

x

2

=

16

Now take the square root on both sides to get

x

=

±

4

.

You may now substitute the values of

x

=

4

and

x

=

−

4

back into the original equation and check that it satisfies the equation which it does.
