Answer: 112%

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of the shoes

If the cost of the sweater is 12% more than the cost of the shoes, then 1.12x is the cost of the sweater.

To convert the 1.12x into a percentage, multiply 1.12 by 100

This gives you:  112%

The UK has an area of 243,610km2 and a population of 6.41 x 107. Calculate the population density the United Kingdom. Answer to
hodyreva [135]

Answer: Population density the United Kingdom =2.63\times10^2

A= 2.63

B= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, to calculate the population density, we will divide the population by the size of the area.

i.e. \text{Population density}=\dfrac{\text{Population size}}{\text{Area}}

Given : Area of UK = 243,610 km²1

Population = 6.41 \times 10^7

Then, the population density the United Kingdom would be :

\text{Population density}=\dfrac{6.41 \times 10^7}{243,610}\\\\=\dfrac{64100000}{243610}=263.125487459\\\\\approx263=2.63\times10^2

On comparing to A\times10^B, we get

A= 2.63

B= 2

A man is 25 years old. His mother is exactly three times his age. How old will the man’s mother be when he is 35 years old? ​
klio [65]

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the mother is 3x his age when he is 25 years old. Multiply 3 with 25:

3 x 25 = 75

Ten years pass (35 - 25 = 10). Add 10 to 75:

75 + 10 = 85

When the man is 35 years old, his mother will be 85 years old.

1. Dorothy bought a teddy bear and sold it at a 20% profit to Kim. Kim bought a suit costing $100 and dressed the teddy bear up
makkiz [27]

1. Dorothy paid $200 for the teddy bear

2. y is more than x by 33\frac{1}{3} %

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given is:

  • Dorothy bought a teddy bear and sold it at a 20% profit to Kim
  • Kim bought a suit costing $100 and dressed the teddy bear up in the suit
  • Kim then sold the teddy bear in the suit to Karen for $442
  • Kim made a profit of 30%

We need to find how much Dorothy paid for the teddy bear

Assume that Dorothy bought a teddy bear for $x

∵ Dorothy bought a teddy bear for $x

∵ She sold it at a profit 20% to Kim

By using the ratio method

→  Buying price    :    Profit    :    Selling price

→  100%                 :   20%       :    120% ⇒ (100% + 20%)

→  x                         :                 :    ?

By using cross multiplication  

∴ 100% × Selling price = x × 120%

- Divide both sides by 100%

∴ Selling price = 1.2x

∴ Dorothy sold the teddy bear for $1.2x to Kim

∵ Kim bought a suit costing $100 and dressed the teddy bear

  up in the suit

∴ The cost of the teddy bear = 1.2x + 100

∵ Kim sold the teddy bear in the suit to Karen for $442

∵ Kim made a profit of 30%

By using the ratio method

→  Cost price    :    Profit    :    Selling price

→  100%             :   30%      :    130% ⇒ (100% + 30%)

→  1.2x + 100     :                 :    442

By using cross multiplication  

∴ (1.2x + 100) × 130% =  100% × 422

- Divide both sides by 130%

∴ 1.2x + 100 = 340

- Subtract 100 from both sides

∴ 1.2x = 240

- Divide both sides by 1.2

∴ x = 200

∴ Dorothy bought the teddy bear for $200

Dorothy paid $200 for the teddy bear

2. The given is:

  • x is less than y by 25%
  • Then y is more than x by how many percent

Assume that y is 100%

∵ y = 100%

∵ x is less than y by 25%

∴ x = 100% - 25%

∴ x = 75%

- The percentage of increasing of y = \frac{y-x}{x} × 100%

∵ The percentage of increasing of y = \frac{100-75}{75} × 100%

∴ The percentage of increasing of y = \frac{25}{75} × 100%

∴ The percentage of increasing of y = \frac{1}{3} × 100%

∴ The percentage of increasing of y = 33\frac{1}{3} %

y is more than x by 33\frac{1}{3} %
