I think you multiply 17×9 which equals 153 and then multiply 68×36 which equals 2,448 and then add 2,448+153 which equals 2,601
Name all the angles that have v as a vertex
The equation is (x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=81
1. The problem indicates that 300 pounds of oranges were purchased at $0.24 per pound, so the cost is:
300x$0.24=$72
2. A percent of 21% spoilage is expected, which means that 89% of 300 pounds of oranges left, is:
300x0.89=267 pounds of oranges
3. We want to calculate the selling price per pound of 267 pounds of oranges, so let's call this value "x":
Markup %=(Markup/cost)x100
Markup=267x-72
4. The desired markup, based on selling price, is 50%. So, when we substitute the values, we obtain:
(267x-72/72)x100=50
5. Let's clear the "x":
(26700x-7200/72)=50
26700x-7200=50x72
26700x-7200=3600
26700x=3600+7200
x=10800/26700
x=$0.40
x=40 cents
What should the selling price per pound be?
The answer is: 40 cents or $0.40
