<span>Let Y be the number of compact cars and 20 - Y be the number of full-sized car. If the total cost of 20 cars is $372, 000. Then we have: (Cost of compact car * number of compact car)+ (cost of full-sized car * number of full-sized car). So we have (15, 000 * Y) + (23, 000 * (20 -Y)) = 372, 000. Multiplying the expression, we have; 15, 000Y + 460, 000 - 23000Y = 372, 000. 15000Y - 23000Y = 372, 000 - 460, 000. -8000Y = - 88, 000. Hence Y = 11. Hence 11 compact cars were bought.</span>

A distributor buys packs of trading cards from a wholesaler for $0.80 each. The distributor marks up the cards by 100% before se
Llana [10]

Answer:

$1.60

$2.88

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the selling price of the distributor and the retailer, we first need to find how much the distributor sells each pack of cards.

To find the selling price we use the formula.

Selling Price = Cost + Markup

Cost = $0.80

Markup rate = 100% or 1

Selling Price = 0.80 + (0.80*1)

Selling Price = $1.60

So the distributor sells each pack of cards at $1.60 to the retailer.

Now to find the selling of the retailer, we need to use the selling price of the distributor.

Cost = $1.60

Markup rate = 80% or 0.80

Selling price =  1.60 + (1.60 * 0.80)

Selling price = $2.88

So the retailer sells each pack of cards at $2.88 to the customers.

You want to rent a limousine for a trip to the city. The limo costs $700 for the night and $0.15 per mile. You have $750 to spen
frez [133]
The first thing I would do is write an expression for the amount the limo will cost in terms of the number of miles you drive.  In this scenario, the cost=.15(mile)+700.
Now is the question, should the limo cost more or less than $750 to stay on budget?  The answer is you should spend less than $750.  Thus, when writing the inequality, or .15m+700<750.  However, you could spend exactly $750 so you inequality should really be .15m+700≤750.  Now you just need to solve this for the number of miles you can drive.  

First, subtract 700 from both sides and you are left with .15m≤50
Then divide both sides by .15 and you are left with m ≤ 333.33.  Thus, the limo can only travel 333.33 miles.

A single carton of juice costs $4.20. A special offer pack of 3 cartons costs $9.45. Ali bought a special offer pack instead of
fgiga [73]

1 cartons of juice = $4.20

3 single cartons = 4.20 * 3 =  $12.60

1 pack = $9.45

He saved 12.60 - 9.45 = $3.15

So, he saved $3.15, compared to the total ($12.60)

To calculate the percentage, we will do a proportion:

3.15 (money saved) : 12.60 (total of 3 single cartons) = x (how much percentage) : 100 (total)

3.15 : 12.6 = x : 100

To calculate x, we will moltiplicate the ends (where we have known numbers) than divide all per 12.6

So

x = (3.15 * 100) / 12.60 = 315 / 12.6 = 25

So the percentage saving is 25%
