Hi there! So the the new price is $93, and went up from $55. Let's subtract the numbers. 93 - 55 is 38. The change is 38. To find the percent markup, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
38/55 = x/100
This is because the amount of change goes above the original (55), and x represents the percent out of 100. We are looking for the markup. Let's cross multiply the values. 100 * 38 is 3,800. 55 * x is 55x. 3,800 = 55x. Now, divide each side by 55 to isolate the x. 55x/55 cancels out. 3,800/55 is 69.0909 or 69 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The percent of markup is approx. 69%.
Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation:
This may look like a complicated problem but it's some simple analyzing of the problem to get the job done:
"The sum" tells that we are going to be adding together the next two phrases separated by "and"s.
That is "8 times a number 4" <em>and</em> "5"
Therefore, we need to add 2 groups:
(8*4) + (5)
Now, we simply use PEMDAS (or GEMDAS) to solve the expression:
(8*4) + (5)
= (32) + (5)
= 32 + 5
= <u>37</u>
Answer: Positive
Step-by-step explanation: It would be positive because the question is asking how much money they lost. The lost a positive amount of money.
154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893
Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.
