A store makes a profit of $8 on a sweater after a markup of 40%. What is the selling price of the sweater?

1 answer:

7 0

Use ratios: $\frac{40}{100}$ = $\frac{8}{7}$

<span>Since 40/8=5, then you do the same on the bottom. 100/5=20, so the sweater was originally $20.</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 1/4 (12 x + 8) + 4 = 3, to fnd the result of the equation, the following steps must be followed.

Step 1: Expand the bracket at the left hand side of the equation using the distributive property.

1/4 (12 x + 8) + 4 = 3

$\frac{1}{4} (12x)+\frac{1}{4}(8) + 4 = 3\\ 3x+2+4 = 3\\3x+6=3$

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

$3x+6-6 = 3-6\\3x =-3\\x = \frac{-3}{3}\\ x = -1$

To answer this question, you should draw it out- see the attached picture for the example. All the side lengths are labeled. You can then use the area of a trapezoid formula to find the total area.

A=1/2 (b1 + b2)h

You can see the substitution for each value in the work shown in the picture.
