A clothing store bought a sweater for a certain price and marked it up 70%. The sweater didn't sell, so the store owner took 25%

off the original sale price and it sold at that price. What percent profit did the store make?

Its easy to solve this problem by <em>taking 100 as the cost price of the sweater.</em>

If it is marked up 70%, the selling price is 70% more than 100, which is 170 as shown below:

Selling price = 100+(0.7)(100)=100+70=170


Now we need to subtract 25% of 170 from 170 to get his new price (at which he sold).

New price = 170-(0.25)(170)=170-42.5=127.5

He sold it for $127.5. So how much profit did he make?

Profit = Income - Cost = 127.5-100=27.5 dollars

<em>In percentage</em>, \frac{27.5}{100}*100=27.5%


ANSWER: 27.5% profit

The answer is 50%, to get this you take the original percentage in this case 70% and you subtract that by the new sale price which is 25% to get your answer of 50%

75%-25% =50%

A rectangular prism has a volume of 170 cubic centimeters. The length of the prism is 5 centimeters, and the height of the prism
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The width of the prism is 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the prism = 170 cm³

The length of the prism = 5 cm

The height of the prism = 17 cm

The volume of the prism is given by the  relationship v = Length, l × Height, h × Width, w

Therefore;

The volume of the prism = 5 cm × 17 cm × w = 170 cm³

Which gives;

w = 170 cm³/(5 cm × 17 cm) = 170 cm³/(85 cm) = 2 cm

∴ The width of the prism = 2 cm.

A solid cylindrical metal is melted and recast into cubes of metal of sides 3cm . The base radius of the initial cylindrical met
belka [17]

Answer:

808

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the initial cylindrical metal must be equal to the total volume of the cubes.

Let the number of cubes made be x. Therefore:

V_C = V_c * x

where V_C = volume of the cylinder

V_c = volume of each cube

Each of the cubes have sides of length 3 cm.

The volume of a cube is given as:

V_c = L^3

where L = length of side of cube

Therefore, the volume of each cube is:

V_c = 3^3 = 27 cm^3

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

V_C = \pi r^2h

where r = radius

h = height of the cylinder

The volume of the cylinder is:

V_C = \pi * 10.5^2 * 63 = 21823.55 cm^3

Therefore:

21823.55 = 27 * x

=> x = 21823.55 / 27

x = 808.27

Since the number of cubes can only be a whole number, the number of cubes that will be made is 808.

How many pairs of whole numbers have a sum of 99
alexandr402 [8]

With the sum of 99, we will get 50 pairs whole numbers. Why?

Let’s start with

0+ 99

1 + 98

2 + 97

3 + 96

4 + 95

5 + 94

6 + 93

7 + 92

8 + 91

9 + 90

10 + 89

………

……..

43 + 49

44 + 50


Therefore, if you’re going to count all pairs of whole number, you will get 50 pairs of whole number with the sum of 99.

Hope this helps!

A game between two equally skilled players is ended before a winner is declared. Player A needs 3 more points to win, and player
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: player A = 11/16 and player B = 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coin was to be tossed to determine the winner possible outcomes using arithmetical triangle.

Player A needs 2 points = 11

Player B needs 3 points = 5

Total outcome of tossing a coin = 16

Player A = 11/16 = 0.6875

Player B = 5/16 = 0. 3125

Or

Using the fifth roll of the pascal triangle (2+3) outcome

( 1, 4, 6, 4, 1 )

Addition of the first 3 represent Player A chances of winning = ( 1+ 4 + 6 ) = 11

And the last two = ( 1 + 4 ) = 5 represents the chances of team B winning

Total number of outcome = ( 1 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 1 ) = 16

The graph of the function f(x) = (x − 3)(x + 1) is shown. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Correct option: first one -> all real values of x where x < −1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the roots of the function f(x):

0 = (x - 3)(x + 1)

(x - 3) = 0 -> x = 3

(x + 1) = 0 -> x = -1

The roots of the function are x = 3 and x = -1.

The vertex is between the roots (x = 1) and has a negative value of y (y = -4), so the concavity of the parabola is upwards.

So the graph is decreasing until it reaches the vertex, then the graph is increasing.

Then, we can affirm that the graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1 (for x > -1 and x < 3 we have negative values)

Correct option: first one
