Answer:
<em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>3</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>3</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u> </u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplify 3 × (1, 1) 3 × (1, 1) to 3× 1, 13 × 1,1.
<em>2</em><em>.</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>)</em>
2) Simplify 3 × 1 to 3.
2.3 - ( 3, 1)
<em><u>Therefor</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>answer</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>3</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>3</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
6. If 55% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (45%) is the cost. Gaitan can pay up to 45% of 489.50 = $220.28.
7. If 52% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (48%) is the cost. 48% of the selling price is $38.87.
... 0.48 × selling price = cost
... selling price = cost/0.48 = $38.87/0.48 = $80.98
8. If 40% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (60%) is the cost, $12.95.
... 0.60 × selling price = $12.95
... selling price = $12.95/0.60 = $21.58
9. If 35% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (65%) is the cost.
... 0.65 × $24.00/dz = $15.60/dz
10. If 60% of the selling price is markup, the remainder (40%) is the cost. Veronica can pay up to 40% of $600.00 = $240 for the jacket.
The unsimplified fraction is 8/12 which can be reduced to 2/3
