Abike store sells scooters at a 54% markup. if the store bought each scooter for $29.25, what is the resale price to the nearest dollar

The purchasing price of the store = $29.25.

They want to resale it at 54% markup of the purchasing price.

54% of 29.25 = 0.54 × 29.25.

On multiplying 0.54 and 29.25, we get 15.795.

Resale price = The purchasing price + Markup

                      = 29.25 + 15.795.

On adding 29.25 and 15.795, we get 45.045.

We can round it to 45 to the nearest dollar.

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
