Mike's Bakery makes brownies that cost $.80 each. \n\n15 percent of the brownies will spoil and thus are not salable. \n\nMike wants a 35 percent markup based on cost. Mike produces 500 brownies. Each brownie should sell for??? \n\n-----------------------------------------\n\nWe know the cost of the brownies which is .80 cents each.\n\nWe know the amount of the brownies, which is 500.\n\nWe know that 15% will spoil, and cannot be sold.\n\n15% of 500 is 75 brownies.  This means that only 425 brownies can be sold.\n\nThe true cost of the brownies is 500 brownies * .80 cents = 400 dollars\n\nIf we need to make a 35% markup BASED ON ACTUAL MANUFACTURING COST (not on the amount we can sell). That means we need to make $140 dollars profit (35% of $400 = $140)\n\nWe know that we will be able to only sell 425 brownies\n\nTotal amount of money that we need to make then is $540.  It takes $400 (to cover manufacturing costs) + $140 (profit) = $540\n\nSo we take the gross needed to be made ($540) and divide that by the amount of brownies that we can sell (425)\n\nWhich then gives us how much we need to charge for each brownie, which works out to be approximately $1.27 if rounded lower.  However we need to make sure we have at least a 35% markup, so we automatically round up to $1.28.

Math question\nIt's the wording. Don't pay attention to the $27 figure. Concentrate on this.\n\n$30 paid.\n\n$25 Acutal cost of room due to discount\n\n$5 owed\n\n$1 dollar to each\n\n$2 for the clerk.\n\nThe mythical figure of $27 ASSUMES that the cost of the room was actually $27 due to the refund of $1 per man (it should have been 25 due to the multiple occupant discount, The number 27 was never mentioned by "motel personel"). Look only at the original price and the actual discount price of $30 and $25 respectively. If you do that, the math should make sense\n\n30 dollars paid\n\n25 dollars actual cost of room\n\n5 Dollars total refund\n\n3 dollars total to the salesmen\n\n2 dollars to the clerk\n\nHence an algebraic formula ((30-5)+3)+2)=30\n\n(25+3)+2=30\n\n28+2=30\n\nOr:\n\nx=$30, total paid by salesmen \n\ny=$25 cost of room with multiple occupancy discount\n\nz=$5 Total amount of refund due salesmen\n\na=$2 Amount kept by clerk\n\nb=$3 Actual amount refunded to salesmen\n\nWhich gives you (((x-z)+b)+a)=x\n\nNow isn't that much simpler?

1. no work really needed to show. whenever you've got a fraction to solve, just divide. 15.75 divided by 4.5 equals 3.5\n\n2. same. 59.52 divided by 0.96 equals 62\n\n3. 187 cds divided by 42 cds per shelf. \n   187/42 equals 4.45 shelves\n   since you can't have part of a shelf, you've got to add another shelf to cover all the cd's. so you need 5 shelves.\n\n4. 35 days divided by 3 days each\n   35/3 equals 11.67\n   since you need full projects, you can't count the .67 of a project. she can finish 11 projects\n\n5. you've got two different questions here :)\n\n6. e times 7? 5.6 times 7 equals 39.2\n\n7. \n44.5 - d = 16.9   subtract 44.5 from both sides\n- d = - 27.6         divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative on the d\nd = 27.6

1) move each decimal point two times to the left (ex: 45%=0.45)\n2) multiple sales tax and dollar amount and thats your answer\n3) same as above\n4) same as above (ex: something cost $50 sale 20%off... $50 times 0.20 = you save $10)\n5) same as above\n6)same as above then subtract amount from original (ex: something cost $50 sale 20%off... $50 times 0.20 = you save $10 then you take orginal amount -save =answer $50-$10=$40)\n7) take rule number 6 then rule numer 2 add them together and thats your answer...\n\nnow take those rules and do your own homework! good luck!

So where's that starting point?  Either we start (yesterday) with Mary having $785.63 we subtract $57. and $125. for 603.63.  Then we add $57.25 for a total of 660.88 (B) \nOR\nwe start we $785.63 (today) anb subtract $57. and $125 for $603.63 (C).  The $57.25 doesn't matter cause Mary did that yesterday....

What math test do you take?  I'm in Algebra 1 and I only remember 1 question.  It's impossible.\n\nSomeone has a total of 100 coins in dimes and quarters.  The total value adds up to $14.05. How many quarters does she have?\n\nA) 27 (I chose this-it's a dollar off)\nB) 40\nC) 56\nD) 79 (I forget-it's way too high)\n\nWell, that's all I have.  Bye bye!\n\nThanks to the guy who solved that.  I won't get a zero now!

These are pretty simple questions ... They are VERY straight forward indeed!!\n\n1. Just do what it tells yoiu to do (divide!) and the answer is in feet /s\n\n2 16 oz = 1 lb so 28 oz =?? so 10 lb 28 oz = ??\n\n3. 1 L = ? qt and 12 L = 12 * 1L\n\n4. Maximum = biggest number and minimum = smallest number ... so away you go and numbers get smaller the further they go into the negative range. (Owing $25 means that you have less money than if you are broke ie have no money at all and if you have $2.35 you have more money still)\n\nThat should be enough to get you out of trouble BUT I am not doing your homework for you

All in all, the three guys spent 10 dollars (-10) and got a dollar back (+1), making their loss 9 dollars each (-9).  \nSo in total, their loss is: 3 * -9 = -27\n\nThe lodge gained 30 dollars, and gave back five dollars. (30-5 = 25).\n\nThe bellhop gained 2 dollars (+2).\n\nSo, if everything is balanced in terms of gains and losses, -27 + 25 + 2 = 0.  Thus, there is no "other dollar", that was just a trick (the purpose of the story problem).  The wording of the problem led me to think about it in an incorrect manner, initially... which is the point!\n\n--- edit ---\nHah, I opened this screen up to answer the question, then did some office work before typing the answer, and by the time I posted, someone had already put the correct answer, which I didn't realize when I posted... hah.
