Answer:$48(0.55)—I promise this is correct. The others who answer $48(0.55)+$48 did NOT read the question correctly.  The question reads: which expression should be used to find the AMOUNT OF THE MARKUP.

Step-by-step explanation:

correct answer:

$48(0.55)=$26.40 that is the amount of the markup.

wrong answer:

$48(0.55)+$48 if you add $26.40 to $48, you get the RETAIL price.

Not to brag, but we made A 100%. This is the correct answer.  It really bugs me when they phrase these question so poorly.  Especially when school systems like ours s don’t give us teachers who we can go to for assistance.

Tyger uses brick which are 7cm tall to build a tower.His final tower is 26 bricks high.How many cm tall is it?
iris [78.8K]
If the 26 bricks are each 7 cm, seems like multiplication or repeated addition would solve the problem. Multiplication would be faster. 26 x 7 = 182
182 cm tall.

What is 6pi to the 6 power.
Tomtit [17]

Hey there!

6(3.14)^6

= 6(3.14^6)

= 6(3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14)

= 6(9.8596 * 9.8596 * 9.8596)

= 6(97.21171216 * 9.8596)

= 6(5,750.811583)

≈ 5750.81158328



Therefore, the answer should be:

5,750.81158328



Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
