Flora paid her supplier $0.75 a stem for roses to sell at her flower shop. She added an 80% markup. What is the amount of markup?

$0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

the question ask us to find the amount of the markup on Flora’s roses. The amount of markup is given by:

markup rate x original price = amount of markup

the markup rate is in decimal form

since the original price was $0.05 and the markup price is 80% = 0.80, we have

0.80 x .075 = 0.60

thus, the amount of the markup on Flora’s roses was $0.60

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
