A boat is marked up 20% on the original price. The original price was $50. What is the sale price of the boat before sales tax?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: So,

The original price was $50.

The price was increased by 20%.

If you find 20% of $50 and add the result to $50, you will get the markup price.

20% --> 0.2
50(.2) = $10

10 + 50 = 60

The marked-up price of the boat is $60.
Answer 2
Answer: The marked up price was $60 because $50 times 0.2 = $10 and $50 +$10 = $60.

Normally to compare 2 fractions, I would say to find a common denominator so you can compare them directly, however on this problem we can just use a little common sense to figure it out...

Look at 6/11.  6 is approximately half of 11 so 6/11 is approximately 1/2.  Now look at 9/10.  If 10/10 is one whole, 9/10 is approximately 1. 

So you can look and see that 6/11 < 9/10 because 1/2 < 1

Micah deposited $4000 between two savings account. One account earns 4% simple interest each year. The other account earns 2% simple interest. Last year Micah earned $140 interest on the accounts. What amount was originally deposited into the account that pays 4% interest?

Answers

Answer:

The amount that is deposited at 4 % simple interest is $ 3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the total amount deposited = $ 4000,

Let x be the amount that is deposited at the rate of 4 % simple interest,

⇒ The amount deposited at the rate of 2% simple interest = ( 4000 - x ) dollars,

We know that,

The simple interest on an amount is,

I=(P* r* t)/(100)

Where, P is the principal amount, r is rate of interest and t is time,

Thus, the total interest he earned in a year

I=(x* 4* 1)/(100)+((4000-x)* 2* 1)/(100)

=(4x)/(100)+(2(4000-x))/(100)

=(4x+2(4000-x))/(100)

According to the question,

I = $ 140,

\implies (4x+2(4000-x))/(100)=140

(2x+8000)/(100)=140

2x+8000=14000

2x=6000

x=3000

Hence, the amount that is deposited at 4 % simple interest is $ 3000.

$3000 * 0.04 = $120
$100 * 0.02 = $20

total 2 accounts = $120 + $20 = $140

answer: $3000 was the originally 
deposited into the account that pays 4% interest.

A box has a length of 15 in., a width of 7 in., and a height of 9 in. If Tara plans to cover the box with wrapping paper, how much wrapping paper will she need?

Answers

We have to calculate the area of the box.

area (box)=2(lenght x width) + 2(lenght x height) +2(width x height)

area (box)=2(15 in x 7 in) + 2(15 in x 9 in) + 2(7 in x 9 in)=
=2(105 in²)+2(135 in²)+2(63 in³)=210 in²+270 in²+126 in²=606 in².

Answer: she need 606 in² of wrapping paper.

4 (x - b) =x

Answers

4 (x - b) = x            Use the DIstributive Property [(4(x) - 4(b)]
4 x - 4b = x            Add 4b to both sides
         4x = 4b + x   Subtract x from both sides
         3x = 4b         Divide both sides by 3
           x = (4b)/(3)

4% of what number is 11

Answers

So,

First, find 1% by dividing 11 by 4.
11 * 0.25 = 2.75

Since 2.75 = 1%, we can simply move the decimal place two places to the right to get 100%.
2.75 --> 275

4% of 275 is 11.
