Answer:

the mark up used by the retailer is 115.12% of the wholesale price

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark-up is the percentage increase of the retail price over the wholesale price

Mark-up = (difference between retail and whole sale price / retail price ) x 100

difference between retail and whole sale price = $9.25 - $4.30 = $4.95

(4.95 / 4.3) x 100 = 115.12%.

Erin created a scale drawing for a garden that will be 10 ft by 5 ft. She plans to include a section in the garden for herbs, wh
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing are 2.4 by 6 inches

Step 1 (finding the scale factor):

12/10 (inches/feet) or 1.2 (inches/feet)

(1.2 inches<em> </em>in the <em>drawing</em> represent 1 foot in real life)

Step 2 (finding the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing):

Real life dimensions are 2ft by 5ft so we multiply by the <em>scale factor</em>:

2ft = 2 x 1.2 = 2.4 inches

5ft = 5 x 1.2 = 6 inches

So the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing are 2.4 by 6 inches.

Assume that a varies directly as b. What is the constant of proportionality if a = 8 when b = 2?
Lena [83]

Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a varies directly as b then the equation relating them is

a = kb ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition a = 8 when b = 2

k = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{8}{2} = 4
