Can you add the picture to the question?
Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:
Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):
Multiply:
This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:
Answer:
47 rounds and Eve wins.
Step-by-step explanation:
If read right, the highest player, (player with the most tokens) has to lose 3 tokens each round, so starting off with Evelyn, 17 - 3 = 14, and the other two each have +1 added to them, so, E=14, A=17 V=16, now subtract three from A (Amelia) and don't forget that one token is always being discarded each round. So the toal number of tokens at the start was 48, (17 + 16 + 15) so right now the total tokens should be 47, which it is. now starting the second round, A gives up 3 tokens so, 17 -3, again equals 14 and each of the two other players get one token, so E=15, A=14 V=17. Now you know the general trend, so we can figure this out seeing that after each round the number of tokens decrease by one, so there will be a round till all tokens are out except one, so there will be 47 rounds and since E started with the highest number they will win.
For a monic quadratic (factor of 1 on 
) we always add half the coefficient on the linear (
) term, so
Answer: 49/4
