The required scale is 2 cm t 5 in

This means that 2cm on the drawing would represent 5 inches on the actual flower. If the flower is 8 inches in real life, then the equation would be as shown below

2cm = 5 in

xcm = 8 in

where x represent the height of the flower on the drawing. By cross multiplying, we have

x * 5 = 2 * 8

5x = 16

x = 16/5

x = 3.2

The height of the tree on the drawing would be 3.2 cm

The needed scale is 2 cm:5in

It means that 2 cm will represent 5 inch of actual flower. if the flower of 8 inch would be in real the required equation would be:

2cm = 5 inch

xcm= 8 inch

X representing height of flower.

After <u>Cross Multiplying</u><u>,</u>

2 × 8 = x × 5

x =  \frac{2 \times 8}{5}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{16}{5}  \\  \\ x = 3.2

The Height Of the tree required is 3.2 cm

3. An exclusive clothing boutique triples the price of the items it purchases
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) MARKUP PERCENT = 200%

b) <u>If the cost price of clothing A  = $10</u>

    then its retail price  = $30

   <u> If the cost price of clothing B   = $25</u>

   then its retail price  = $75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the original price for the clothing = a

Now,  boutique triples the price of the items it purchases for resale.

So, the resale value of the item of clothing = 3 times (Original price) = 3 a

So, here: The resale Value  = 3 a

a)  MARK UP Percentage = (\frac{\textrm{SP - CP}}{CP})  \times 100

\implies \%  = (\frac{3a-a}{a} ) \times 100 =  200 \%

or, the MARKUP PERCENT = 200%

b) Two expressions that represent retail price

<u>If the cost price of clothing A  = $10</u>

then its retail price  = 200% of 10 +  10  = 20 + 10 = $30

<u>If the cost price of clothing B   = $25</u>

then its retail price  = 200% of 25 +  25  = 50 + 25 = $75

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 26 yards. The length is 4 more yards than twice the width. Find the length and width of
solong [7]

The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)

You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:

length = 4 + 2w

Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:

26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w

First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...

26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with  the same variables (w) must be combined...

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

4w + 2w = 6w

26 = 8 + 6w

Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w

18 = 0 + 6w

18 = 6w

To isolate w divide 6 to both sides

18 / 6 = 6w / 6

w = 3

We know that the width is 3 ft

Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:

length = 4 + 2w

l = 4 + 2(3)

l = 4 + 6

l = 10

We know that length is 10 ft

Letter B. is the correct answer

Hope this helped!
