Answer:
There were 14 cartons of size 2 rackets and 24 cartons of size 3 rackets
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the number of cartons holding 2 rackets is x and the number of cartons holding 3 rackets is y
∵ There are x cartons of 2 rackets
∵ There are y cartons of 3 rackets
∵ They used 38 cartons
∴ x + y = 38 ⇒ (1)
∵ They packed a total of 100 rackets
∴ 2x + 3y = 100 ⇒ (2)
Let us solve the system of equations
→ Multiply equation (1) by -2 to make the coefficients of x in
the equations equal in values and different is signs
∵ -2(x) + -2(y) = -2(38)
∴ -2x - 2y = -76 ⇒ (3)
→ Add equations (2) and (3)
∴ y = 24
→ Substitute the value of y in equation (1) or (2) to find x
∵ x + 24 = 38
→ Subtract 24 from both sides
∴ x + 24 - 24 = 38 - 24
∴ x = 14
There were 14 cartons of size 2 rackets and 24 cartons of size 3 rackets

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.
