1. lucy has a jewelry business. to make a certain necklace, she spends $4.52 on materials and $5.43 on labor. she then sells the necklace for $17.99. lucy’s profit on the necklace is equal to the sale price minus the cost of materials and labor. (a) how much profit does lucy earn when she sells a necklace? what fraction of the sale price of the necklace is profit? record your answer as a fraction using whole numbers. (b) what decimal of every dollar of the sale price of the necklace is profit? show your work. round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (c) lucy collected $215.88 selling necklaces at a craft fair. how many necklaces did lucy sell? how much profit did she earn? show your work.

the fraction of the sale price of this necklace would be (704/1599). To find the percent you would divide 7.04 by 15.99 to find the decimal would be 44%. 223.86/15.99=14 necklaces. 14(7.04)=$98.56 of profit.

Add the costs of material and labor together:

Subtract this value from how much Lucy sells a necklace for:

Lucy's profit from a necklace is $7.04.

Set up a fraction where the profit is the numerator, and the sale price is the denominator to get your ratio:

The ratio will be 704/1599.

b)

Divide the profit by the sale price:

Multiply the decimal by 100 to get your percentage:

Check the tenths value to round to the nearest percent:

0 < 5

44.03 ≈ 44

44% of the sale price is profit.

c)

Divide the total amount Lucy earned at the fair by the sale price of an individual necklace:

Lucy made 14 necklaces.

To find the total profit Lucy made from the fair, multiply the total amount of necklaces she made by the profit for each necklace:

Lucy's total profits were $98.56.

you can change values to find the answer just substitute

50=33x+22

step-by-step explanation:

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
