Answer:
x + y = 500
215x + 615y = 187,500
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation can show the amount of land. The farmer has 500 acres to plant corn, x, and cotton, y.
x + y = 500
The second equation can show the cost. The farmer has $187,500 to invest when corn costs $215 per acre and cotton costs $615 per acre.
215x + 615y = 187,500
The system of equations is
x + y = 500
215x + 615y = 187,500
Answer:
The cost of the sweater before the markup is $24.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent markup of an item is calculated by subtracting the original cost of the item from the sale price and then dividing by the original cost. In this case, we are trying to find the original cost, so we know that the percent markup is 40%, or 0.4. Since the sale price of the item would be 100% of the original cost multiplied by an additional 40% markup, we can take the sale price of the item divided by 140%, or 1.4: 34.30/1.4 = 24.50.
