Answer:

The markup formula is as follows: markup = 100 * profit / cost .

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if your cost is $10.00 and you wish to markup that price by 40%, 100% + 40% = 140%. Multiply the $10.00 cost by 140% and get the retail price of $14.00.

How do you calculate a 45 markup?

Simply take the sales price minus the unit cost, and divide that number by the unit cost. Then, multiply by 100 to determine the markup percentage.

UPS charges $7 for the first pound and $0.20 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each

Answer:

1. 20 pounds

2. $11

Step-by-step explanation:

To set this up, you have to use a system of equations. It would look like this, where is pounds and is total cost:

UPS:

FedEx:

In order to solve a system of equations you must either a.) graph it, or b.) set them equal to each other.

If you graph it, the answer is where the two lines intersect.

If you set them equal to each other, solve it.

I will set them equal to each other in this:

The first step in a problem like this, where there's the same variable on both sides, is to subtract the smaller variable from both sides. In this case, it is . That would turn the equation into:

After that, you must solve it like a regular two-step equation.

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

Now, you must divide both sides by .

That would give us:

This means that in order for the prices to be the same, the package must be 20 pounds.

Now in order to find the total cost, you must plug 20 into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which, since they both equal the same. I will plug it into the FedEx equation:

Now you can just use a calculator and solve that or do it by hand. Multiply 0.30 by 20, to get 6, then add 5, which equals 11.

You should get: .

This means that the total cost, when the costs are the same for both FedEx and UPS, is $11.

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian

finlep [7]

Answer:

30% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boys = 2

Total number of girls = 3

Total number of students = 5

To find:

Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?

Solution:

Here we have to make 2 choices.

1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

$\bold{\text{Required probability }= P(\text{boy as pianist first}) \times P(\text{girl as alternate})}$

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

For $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ , number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).

Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5

So, $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ is:

$P(\text{boy as pianist}) = \dfrac{2}{5}$

For $P(\text{girl as alternate})$ , number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).

Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

$P(\text{girl as alternate}) = \dfrac{3}{4}$

So, the required probability is:

$\text{Required probability } = \dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{10} = \bold{30\%}$
