Answer:

  book 25; pen 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let b and p represent the cost of a book and a pen, respectively, then the two purchases can be written as ...

  7b +4p = 207

  5b +5p = 165

Multiply the second equation by 4/5 and subtract the result from the first equation:

  (7b +4p) -4/5(5b +5p) = (207) -4/5(165)

  3b = 75 . . . . simplify

  b = 25 . . . . . divide by 3

Dividing the second equation by 5 gives ...

  b + p = 33

Solving for p, we have ...

  p = 33 -b = 33 -25 = 8

The cost of an exercise book is 25; the cost of a pen is 8.

PLEASE HELP!! I’LL MAKE YOU BRAINIEST!
Leokris [45]

Answer:

1. Markup: $2.70, Retail: $20.70

2. Markup: $9.45, Retail: $31.95

3. Markup: $25.31, Retail: $59.00

4. Markup: $24.75, Retail: $99.74

5. Markup: $48.60, Retail: $97.20

6. Markup: $231.25, Retail: $416.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the markup price of an item, multiply it by the markup percentage as a decimal. To get the decimal of a percentage, divide the number by 100. For example, 15% would be 0.15. And then to find how much the item has been marked up by, multiply the current price by the decimal.

$18 * 0.15 = $2.70

So $2.70 is the markup. To find the retail price, you need to add the markup price to the current price given.

$18 + $2.70 = $20.70

So your retail price is $20.70. Repeat these steps for each question to get the answers above.

Hope this helps.
