Answer: or
Step-by-step explanation:
We can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers:
Since they cleaned up 8.2 kilograms of trash in one neighborhood and 11.5 kilograms in another neighborhood, the total trash they cleaned up was:
We know that they sent 1.25 kilograms to be recycled. Then, in order to calculate how many kilograms of trash they threw away, we must subtract the total kilograms of trash they cleaned up and the kilograms they sent to be recycled.
Then:
or
Answer: percentage of profit on the skirt is 11.1%
Step by step:
Let G denote price of gloves, and S the price of skirt, and let g dente the original cost of the gloves and s the cost of skirt. I will be using $ for the currency unit instead of the pound.
The sale equation is
$48 = G + S
100% profit on the gloves means:
G = 2 * g = 2 * $4
On the skirt, the profit is unknown ("x"):
S = x + s
We know that the total profit (total sale - total cost) after the sale is is 20%:
$48 - (s + $4) = 0.2 * (s + $4)
which finally gives us two equations with two unknowns:
$48 - (s + $4) = 0.2 * (s + $4)
$48 = 2 * $4 + x + s
which is straight-forward to solve. I got solutions as follows:
s = $36, x = $4
so the percentage of profit on the skirt is 100% * 4/36 = 11.1%
42/48
Simply divide, so, 42/2 = 21, and 48/2 = 24
21/3 = 7, and 24/3 = 8
7/8 = 42/48
Simplified form would be : 7/8
A,b are 8,2. its an easy guess.
now that makes it easy
