Write an expression that can be used to multiply 6×198

The value of u is -144

Solution:

Given that,

We have to solve for "u"

From given,

Convert the division problem into multiplication, by changing the division sign to multiplication sign. Then invert the number to right of division sign

Thus we get,

Isolate for u

Thus the value of u is -144

Based on the amount of markup, the store:

• Will charge $15 for the bicycle shorts
• Paid $50 for the running shoes

If the store bought the shorts for $10 and marks it up by 50%, the amount it will sell it is:

= Cost of shorts x ( 1 + markup)

= 10 x ( 1 + 50%)

= 10 x 1.5

= $15

If the store purchased shoes for $75, the cost would have been:

75 = Cost x ( 1 + 50%)

Cost = 75 / 1.5

Cost = $50

In conclusion, the store will sell the shorts for $15 and bought the shoes for $50.

Answer:

$15, $50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The owner of a sporting goods store has decided upon a 50-percent markup on all apparel.

Question asked:

How much will the store charge for bicycle shorts it purchased from the wholesaler for $10 each?

What did the store pay for running shoes that are selling for $75?

Solution:

Cost price of  bicycle shorts = $10

Mark up amount =  50% of $10

                            =

Selling price of bicycle shorts = Cost price + Mark up amount

                                      = $10 + $5 = $15

Thus, the store will charge $15 for bicycle shorts.

Selling price of running shoes = $75

Cost price of running shoes = ?

Let Cost price of running shoes =

Mark up amount = 50% of Cost price

Selling price of running shoes = Cost price + Mark up amount

Thus, the store paid $50 for running shoes that are selling for $75.
