Answer:

603.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a book costs $ 1.49 and is sold in a retail store for $ 8.99, to determine what is the percentage in mark up, the following calculation must be performed:

1.49 = 100

8.99 = X

8.99 x 100 / 1.49 = X

899 / 1.49 = X

603.35 = X

Thus, the mark up percentage of the book is 603.35%, which implies an increase of more than 6 times its initial value.

Hunter-Best [27]

If Heather can do 2 in 10 minutes, then that means that she can do 12 in 1 hour. If Joel can do 3 in 15 minutes, then it means that he can do 12 in 1 hour. Add the number of problems they can do total and that will go between 30 and 50. It is just "less than", not "less than or equal to" because you want to know when the total number goes between the numbers.
Therefore, the correct answer must be 30 < 24x + 5 < 50.

Crazy boy [7]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

4/sin(80)

which is approximately 4.06

Discussion:

From the triangle, not drawn too accurately (see attachment)

sin(80) = side opposite /hypotenuse =>

sin (80) = 4/c => multiply both sides by "c"
