A 56 inch of pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is 8 inches longer than the other. How long is each piece?

1 answer:

4 0

I believe one piece is 20 and the other is 36 because when you divide 56 by 2 it’s 28 and subtract 8 from 28 leaves you with 20 and adding 8 to 28 is 36.

A department store sells a pair of shoes with an 87% markup. If the store bought the pair of shoes for $55.25, what is the selli

Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:

$\sf 55.25\cdot 87\%$

Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):

$\sf 55.25\cdot 0.87$

Multiply:

$\sf\approx 48$

This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:

$\sf 48+55.25\approx\boxed{\sf \$ 103}$
