A store owner paid $120 wholesale price for a suit. He needs to make a 35% profit on the sale of the suit. By how much should he markup the price of the suit to make his desired profit?

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do in this problem is, figure out what is 35% of $120.  A product that normally costs $120 with a 35 percent discount will cost you $78.00, and you saved $42.00. You can also calculate how much you save by simply moving the period in 35.00 percent two spaces to the left, and then multiply the result by $120 as follows: $120 x . 35 = $42.00 savings.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
