Okie, so you have an whole number subtracted by a fraction of a number. The way to approach this problem is to convert whole number to the LCD (least common denominator) of the fraction. In this case it would be 6.
6 would be 36/6 (same number just different form)
now just subtract the numerators over the denominator
(36-1)/6 = 35 / 6 is your answer as an improper fraction. As a mixed number, it would be 5 5/6.
I hope this helps :-)
Answer:
55% percentage mark up
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula = Gross profit / Cost of item * 100 First we find the Cost of item = 39.99 / 06 = 66.65 as 66.65 * 0.60 = 39.99 then we find the Gross profit 66.65 - 29.99 = 36.66 then plug into the formula 36.66/66.65 * 100 =55.0037509% = 55%
You can't take away 6 from 2 but you can switch them and get 6-2 and that's =4 10-8=2 7-5=2
