Answer:

a. $49

b. $74.28

c. No

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The store price is

= Purchase price + markup

= $35 + $35 × 40%

= $35 + $14

= $49

b. The price paid is

Since there is a markup of 40% and when it is added to 100% of cost so the selling price is 140% of the cost or 1.40 of the cost

Now the price paid is

$104 = 1.40 × cost

So, the cost is

= $104 ÷ 1.40

= $74.28

c. Now the markup is

= $100 - $75

= $25

The markup percentage is

= $25 ÷ $75

= 33.33%

No the store does not markup the price by 40%

(PLEASE HELP) A contractor has 10 lots for sale to build on. 4 lots are greater than two acres. 6 lots are less than two acres.
charle [14.2K]
Probability that the first lot sold will be less than two acres = number of lots less than two acres / total number of lots = 6/10 = 3/5
 
Probability that the second lot sold will be less than two acres = remaining number of lots less than two acres / remaining total number of lots = 5/9

Required probability = 3/5 x 5/9 = 15/45 = 1/3

The triangle below is equilateral. Find the length of side <br> x<br> x to the nearest tenth.
leonid [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

it's an equilateral triangle so all sides are equal

using Pythagorean theorem

2(√6) raised to the power of 2 = √6 raised to the power of 2 + x raised to the power of 2

2(√6) raised to the power of 2 is 12

√6 raised to the power of 2 is 6

therefore 12=6 + x

x = 12-6

x=6
