The owner of a sporting goods store has decided upon a 50-percent markup on all apparel. How much will the store charge for bicycle shorts it purchased from the wholesaler for $10 each? What did the store pay for running shoes that are selling for $75?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Based on the amount of markup, the store:

  • Will charge $15 for the bicycle shorts
  • Paid $50 for the running shoes

If the store bought the shorts for $10 and marks it up by 50%, the amount it will sell it is:

= Cost of shorts x ( 1 + markup)

= 10 x ( 1 + 50%)

= 10 x 1.5

= $15

If the store purchased shoes for $75, the cost would have been:

75 = Cost x ( 1 + 50%)

Cost = 75 / 1.5

Cost = $50

In conclusion, the store will sell the shorts for $15 and bought the shoes for $50.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

$15, $50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The owner of a sporting goods store has decided upon a 50-percent markup on all apparel.

Question asked:

How much will the store charge for bicycle shorts it purchased from the wholesaler for $10 each?

What did the store pay for running shoes that are selling for $75?

Solution:

Cost price of  bicycle shorts = $10

Mark up amount =  50% of $10

                            = (50)/(100) *10=(500)/(100) =5

Selling price of bicycle shorts = Cost price + Mark up amount

                                      = $10 + $5 = $15

Thus, the store will charge $15 for bicycle shorts.

Selling price of running shoes = $75

Cost price of running shoes = ?

Let Cost price of running shoes = x

Mark up amount = 50% of Cost price

                           =(50)/(100) * x=(1)/(2) * x=(x)/(2)

Selling price of running shoes = Cost price + Mark up amount

75=x+(x)/(2) \n \n 75=(2* x+1* x)/(2) \n \n 75=(2x+x)/(2) \n \n 75=(3x)/(2) \n \n By\ cross\ multiplication\n \n 3x=75*2\n \n 3x=150\n \n By\ dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\n \n x=50

Thus, the store paid $50 for running shoes that are selling for $75.

Answers

Answer:

Draw a graph that joins the points (100, 155) and (200, 245) and has a slope = 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

x variable represents total megabytes of data used

y variable represents total monthly charges

The company charges $155 (y) for 100 megabytes (x) means that the point (100, 155) belongs to the equation.

The company charges $245 (y) for 200 megabytes (x) means that the point (200, 245) belongs to the equation.

With these two points, the slope is computed as follows:

(245 - 155)/(200 - 100) = 0.9

Which is greater than 1/7 or 4/6

Answers

Answer:

4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply until both numbers have the same denominator so 1/7 times 6/6 equals 6/42 and multiply 4/6 times 7/7 it would be 28/42 so the answer would be that 4/6 is greater.

The McCalls insured their house for 90% of it's value. If the house is valued at $84,000, how much is it insured for?

Answers

84000 * 0.90 (equivalent to 90%) = $75600
The question is just asking for 90% of 84,000. To do this, you can change 90% into decimal by moving the decimal 2 place over which gives .90

After that, you multiply .90 by 84,000 which is $75,600

Another way to do this is to convert 90% to a fraction. To do that, you would put 90/100 which can simplify to 9/10. Then you would multiply that by 84,000. 1 of the 0's can cancel, so you are left with 9x8,400 which gives the same answer

Which data set is the most spread from its mean? 26,6, 20,36 or 28 ,15, 30, 15 or 49, 17, 4, 18 or 14, 20, 24, 30?

Answers

Answer:

C has the highest range..

Therefore the answer is C. 49, 17, 4, 18....

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given 4 data sets:

Notice that the mean of all the data set is 88

Now to find that which data set is the most spread from its mean we have to find the Range of each set.

We can find the range by subtracting lowest value from the highest value of the data set

Range of set A = Highest value - Lowest value

Highest value of set A is 36

Lowest value of set A is 6

Therefore,

Range of set A = 36-6

Range of set A = 30

Range of set B = Highest value - Lowest value

Highest value of set B is 30

Lowest value of set B is 15

Therefore,

Range of set B = 30-15

Range of set B = 15

Range of set C = Highest value - Lowest value

Highest value of set C is 49

Lowest value of set C is 4

Therefore,

Range of set C = 49-4

Range of set C = 45

Range of set D = Highest value - Lowest value

Highest value of set D is 30

Lowest value of set D is 14

Therefore,

Range of set D = 30-14

Range of set D = 16

Hence C has the highest range..

Therefore the answer is C. 49, 17, 4, 18....
