Answer:
the markup is 1.26 (the amount added is .26)
1.26x (when x is the price Fred buys them for from the manufacturer)
1.26(40)
$50.40 is the retail price
50.4-40
$10.40 is the markup
Step-by-step explanation:
The 26% markup means that he is selling the flags 26% above the cost.
So, the cost would represent 100%, which is 1, and 26% of markup in decimal number is 0.26.
The price including the markup would be 1.26 as decimal or 126% as percentage.
The problem states that the cost is unknown, so we represent that with a variable x. The retail price would be 1.26x, which is 126% per flag.
Finally, if Fred paid $40 per flag, the actual retail price would be:
1.26($40)=$50.40.
With $10.40 of markup.
Answer:
64 cherries
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
There are 280 pieces of fruit in a fruit salad
There are twice as many raspberries as blueberries,
three times as many grapes as cherries,
and four times as many cherries as raspberries
We need to find out the number of cherries in the fruit salad
So,
Let us assume the blueberries be x
So, the raspberries be 2x
Cherries be 8x
And, grapes be 24x
Now
x + 2x + 24x + 8x = 280
35x = 280
x = 8
hence, the No of cherries in the salad
= 8 x
= 8(8)
= 64 cherries
first convert the yards to feet....then add all of them together and subtract from 100
