A) Sale value = 48

Profit on the total cost = 20% = 0.20

=> Total cost + 0.20 total cost = Sale value

=> 1.20 total cost = 48

=> total cost = 48 / 1.20

=> total cost = 40

B) Cost of the gloves = 4

=> Cost of the skirt = total cost - cost of the gloves

=> Cost of the skirt = 40 - 4 = 36

C) Price of the skirt = total value - price of the gloves

Total value = 48

Price of the gloves = cost of the gloves + margin

margin of the gloves = 100% on the cost = cost

Price of the gloves = cost of the gloves * 2

Price of the gloves = 4 * 2 = 8

=> Price of the skirt = 48 - 8 = 40

D) Profit on the skirt = price of the skirt / cost of the skirt = 40 / 36 = 1.1111

Profit % = 11,11 %

Answer from: Haleysaraya1

The percentage profit on the cost of the skirt is 16.3%.

First step is to calculate the profit made on gloves

Gloves profit=$4+(100%×$4)

Gloves profit=$4+$4

Gloves profit=$8

Second step is to calculate the selling price of skirt

Selling price of skirt=Total selling price - Selling price of gloves

Selling price of skirt=$48-$8

Selling price of skirt=$40

Third step is to calculate the Total profit

Total profit=20%×$40

Total profit=$9.60

Fourth step is to calculate the profit from skirt

Profit from skirt=$9.60-$4

Profit from skirt=$5.60

Fifth step is to calculate the cost price of skirt

Cost price of skirt=$40-$5.60

Cost price of skirt=$34.40

Sixth step is to calculate the profit percentage using this formula

Profit percentage=Profit from skirt/Cost price of skirt

Let plug in the formula

Profit percentage=$5.60/$34.40×100

Profit percentage=16.27%

Profit percentage=16.3%(Approximately)

Inconclusion the percentage profit on the cost of the skirt is 16.3%.

Answer from: Quest

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max. it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to. the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max. therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost. it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults. same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed. the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y. since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200
