Answer:

$1080

Data given:

selling price (SP): $1209.60

percentage profit: 12%

To calculate out percentage profit

profit% = gain/cost price × 100

gain = selling price - cost price

hence we have:

(1209.60 - cost price)/cost price ×100 = 12

when we cross multiply

we have 12costprice = (1209.60×100)-(100×cost price)

12CP=120960-100CP

collect like terms

12CP+100CP = 120960

112CP=120960

divide both sides by the coefficient of CP

CP = $1080

The measure of the supplement of an angle is three times the measure of the
gtnhenbr [62]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3><em>x=45degrees</em></h3>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let the angle to be solved be x

Let the supplement/compliment by y

x+y=90 Complimentary angles add up to 90 degrees.

x+3y=180 Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, the other angle is thrice the other compliment.

Evaluating this as a system:

x+y=90 Isolate x:

x=90−y Input into the other equation:

(90−y)+3y=180 Combine like terms, isolate y and its coefficients:

2y=90 Isolate y

y=45 Input into the first equation:

x+45=90 Isolate x:

x=45degrees

What is 7.5% written as a fraction in simplest form
weqwewe [10]
3\4 ! you simply convert 7.5% into a fraction. (move the decimal point to the right two times. This should give you 75. Remember to put 75 over 100.
EX: 75/100
Next you must find the greatest common fact of both numbers. In this case the number is 25.
25 goes into 75 3 times. So that is your numerator or the number on top.
25 goes into 100 4 times. This will be your denominator or the number on the bottom.
Your answer should be 3/4! Make sure to show your work! good luck!
