A display case of wallets are marked 32 for $5. If Tim has $80, how many wallets can Tim get? (Assume no tax or other fees.)

Tim can get 12 wallets

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first have to calculate the price that it costs to make 1 single wallet

To calculate it we have to divide the $ 32 by the number of wallets that they tell us

$32 / 5 = $6.4

Now we have to divide the $ 80 by the price that each wallet costs

$80 / $6.4 = 12.5

because we cannot buy half a wallet, we will remove the numbers that are after the decimal point, leaving only the whole number

12.5 = 12

Tim can get 12 wallets

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.

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
