Answer:
The equation should be 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
The contribution margin of each necklace is the difference between its selling price (x) and its cost (2.75). Then the total profit from 8 necklaces would be ...
8(x -2.75)
If Rita wants that profit to be $78, then she needs to solve the equation ...
8(x -2.75) = 78 . . . . correct equation
The solution is ...
x -2.75 = 9.75 . . . . divide by 8
x = 12.50 . . . . . . . . add 2.75
She needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
Hi there! I can help you with these! For these types of questions, all you have to do is that if there is a markup, multiply by one hundred something to get the new price, because you're including the original price and the markup. For example, if there is a 75% markup on something, you multiply by 175% (1.75). Or, if there is a markdown, basically multiply by the remaining percentage. For example, if the markdown is 35%, you multiply the original price by 65% (0.65), because that is the amount of the price that it's on sale for. With that being said, if you do this correctly, here are the answers:
1. $54
2. $2.25
3. $90
Hopefully if you're talking about the markup or markdown from these prices, those are your answers.
