Mathematics

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let larger number be L

and

smaller number be S

The larger is 1 more than twice smaller, so we can write:

L = 1 + 2S

4 times larger is 9 times smaller, so we can write:

4L = 9S

Let's put 1st equation in 2nd and solve for S first:

4L = 9S

4(1 + 2S) = 9S

4 + 8S = 9S

S = 4

Now,

L = 1 + 2S

L = 1 + 2(4)

L = 9

The larger number is, thus, equal to 9

A department store buys 200 shirts at a cost of $5,400 and sells them at a selling
jekas [21]

Number of shirts a department store bought = 200

Cost price of 200 shirts = $5400

Cost price of 1 shirt :

=\tt  \frac{5400}{200}

\color{plum} =\tt \$27

Thus, the cost price of one shirt = $27

Price at which the department store sold each shirt = $30

Which means :

▪︎Cost price of shirt = $27

▪︎Selling price of shrit = $30

Since selling price is greater than cost price, there was a markup in the price of the shirts.

We know that :

\color{hotpink}\tt \: markup \: percentage = \color{plum}  \frac{selling \: price - cost \: price}{cost \: price }  \times 100

Markup percentage in the price of the shirts :

=  \tt \frac{30 - 27}{27}  \times 100

=  \tt \frac{3}{27}  \times 100

= \tt  \frac{3 \times 100}{27}

= \tt  \frac{300}{27}

\color{plum} =  \tt11.1  \%

Thus, the percentage of markup = \tt 11.1  \%

Therefore, the percentage of markup in the shirt's price = \color{hotpink} \tt11.1  \%
