If markup is 60% of the cost, you have
... markup = 0.60×cost
... markup/0.60 = cost
... $207.20/0.60 = cost = $345.33
_____
If markup is 60% of the selling price, the other 40% is the cost. So, the cost is 40/60 = 2/3 of the markup.
... cost = (2/3)×markup = (2/3)×$207.20
... cost = $138.13
_____
Markup can be specified in terms of either selling price or cost. Those are the usual reference values; there could be others. When only the percentage is given, you don't have enough information to work the problem. You need to know what it is a percentage of. (Example problems in your text may tell you the expected interpretation.)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectangular prism is the length times width times height.
V = LWH
V = (4√3)(3√6)W
V = 12√18 W
V = 36√2 W
If the volume is irrational, then W cannot have a radical that is half of a perfect square, because when multiplied by √2, that would yield a rational volume. For example, √18 × √2 = √36 = 6.
Therefore, the answer must be B, because 12 is not half of a perfect square.
V = 36√2 (4√12)
V = 144√24
V = 288√6
Answer:
first things first, you need to find out how much juice you have: 30 + 20 + 50 = 100, so 100 ml of juice. all together, the juice is 100%, or 1. separated, the amounts are 30%, 20%, and 50%, therefore the amount of coconut milk in the cocktail you have is 50%, or 1/2.
Answer:
7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of 10% solution plus volume of 30% solution = total volume of 25% volume.
x + y = 30
Acid in 10% solution plus acid in 30% solution = total acid in 25% solution.
0.10 x + 0.30 y = 30 × 0.25
0.10 x + 0.30 y = 7.5
Solve the system of equations, using either substitution or elimination. I'll use substitution:
x = 30 − y
0.10 (30 − y) + 0.30 y = 7.5
3 − 0.10 y + 0.30 y = 7.5
0.20 y = 4.5
y = 22.5
x = 30 − y
x = 7.5
Sarah needs 7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution.
