Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

.5 x 36 = 18.0

36 divided by .38 is about 94.7

18 - 94.7 = -76.7

Dimas [21]

The question is incomplete:

Lisa and Tomas Lopez are buying a new minivan that has a base price of $22,510.the options total $8,062 and destination charge is $770. The dealer's cost is estimated to be 91% of the base price and 88% of the options.

-What is the sticker price of the vehicle?

-Find the dealer's percent of the base price.

-Find the dealer's percent of the options price.

-What is the estimated dealer's cost?

Answer:

-What is the sticker price of the vehicle? $31,342

-Find the dealer's percent of the base price: $20,484

-Find the dealer's percent of the options price: $7,094

-What is the estimated dealer's cost?  $28,348

Step-by-step explanation:

-The sticker price is the result of adding the base price plus the options plus the destination charge.

Sticker price= base price + options + destination charge

Sticker price= $22,510+$8,062+$770

Sticker price= $31,342

-Dealer's percent of the base price: It is  91% of the base price:

$22,510*91%= $20,484

-Dealer's percent of the options price: It is  88% of the options:

$8,062*88%= $7,094

-Estimated dealer's cost= Percent of base price+percent of options price+destination charge

Estimated dealer's cost= $20,484+$7,094+$770

Estimated dealer's cost=$28,348

Alvin and Bala has 26 stickers.Alvin had 8 more stickers thab Bala.How many stickers did Bala have?​
Brilliant_brown [7]
Bala had 9 stickers

You could set this up as a equation. Because there was a total of 26 you would for sure put =26. Next you are told Alvin has 8 MORE than Bali, therefore you would be adding the unknown value of Bala by 8. This could be represented as x+8=26. Now that you have x added to 8 you need to add another x to the equation to fully represent the problem since Alvin has 8 more stickers than Bala does. The new equation would become 2x+8=26.

You must now isolate x by first subtraction 8 from both sides which will leave you with 2x=18. Then you divide on both sides by 2 and will leave you with x=9

A store sells yogurt in small, medium, and large sizes. A small yogurt costs $2, a medium costs $3, and a large costs $5. In one
lidiya [134]
Let S = number of small yogurts ($2 each).
Let M = number of medium yogurts ($3 each)
Let L = number of large yogurts ($5 each)

Total yogurts is 27, therefore
S + M + L = 27

Total revenue generated is $98, therefore
2S + 3M +5L = 98

There are five more large yogurts than small yogurts, therefore
L = S + 5, or
-S + L = 5

These three equations may be written as the matrix equation
[  1   1   1  | |S|      |27|
|  2  3  5 | |M| =   |98|
| -1   0  1 | |L|       | 5|

The determinant of the matrix is
D = 3 - (2+5) + 3 = -1.

Solve with Cramer's Rule to obtain
S = -[27*3) - (98-25) - 15]
   = 7
M = -[(98-25) - 27(2+5) + (10+98)]
    = 8
L = -[15 - (10+98) + 27(3)]
   = 12

Answer: 7 small, 8 medium, 12 large yogurts.
