Answer:

James is wrong because if you increase something's price by 50%, and decrease it by 50% of the new price, it will be lower than the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the computer's price is around $1,000.

Since we have to mark it up by 50%, we have to turn this into a decimal and multiply that decimal by the original price. Then add the product to the original price

0.5 x 1,000 = 500

500 + 1,000 = 1,500

The marked up price of the computer is $1,500, then reduce it by 50%, do the same process as the first step but don't add it to the original price this time.

0.5 x 1,500 = 750

The computer's final price is $750

Answer:

percent change = 25% (drop)

Step-by-step explanation:

James reasoning is incorrect

Let the original price of the computer = $1000

If the computer was marked up by 50% then 1000 x 1.5 = $1500

If the computer was then marked down by 50% then 1500 x 0.5 = $750

Percent change = [ (difference between final value and initial value) ÷ initial value] x 100

= [ (1000 - 750) ÷ 1000 ] x 100

= 25% (drop)

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: 36 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation: You need to find the least common multiple of 9 and 12.

You can check by multiplying 9 and 12 by consecutive whole numbers until you find a number that they match.

Example:

9*1= 9 , 9*2=18, 9*3= 27, 9*4=36, 9*5=45

12*1=12, 12*2=24, 12*3 =36

They both share 36.

What is 575% written as a mixed number?
pav-90 [236]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

575% as a mixed number is 5\frac{3}{4}

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

575% is equivalent to \frac{575}{100} which is equal to 5.75

5.75 = 5 + 0.75

0.75 can be written as \frac{75}{100}. This value can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25. This would give us \frac{3}{4}

<u>Back to our number:</u>

5.75 = 5 + 0.75 = 5 + \frac{75}{100} = 5 + \frac{3}{4} = 5\frac{3}{4}

Hope this helps :)

A bike store sells scooters at a 54% markup. If the store bought each scooter for $29.25, what is the resale price to the neares
7nadin3 [17]

The purchasing price of the store = $29.25.

They want to resale it at 54% markup of the purchasing price.

54% of 29.25 = 0.54 × 29.25.

On multiplying 0.54 and 29.25, we get 15.795.

Resale price = The purchasing price + Markup

                      = 29.25 + 15.795.

On adding 29.25 and 15.795, we get 45.045.

We can round it to 45 to the nearest dollar.

<h3>Therefore, the resale price to the nearest dollar is $45.</h3>
