At a one-day sale, Alisha bought a skirt for $25. The next day, her friend Merideth bought the same skirt and found that it was marked up 30%. How much did Merideth pay for the skirt?

$32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the initial value was

$25

we want to solve for a 30% increase

let us calculate 30% of $25 first which is

30/100*25

=0.3*25

=$7.5

we then have to add this 7.5 to the initial cost

therefore the cost of the skirt Merideth pay

is=25+7.5

=$32.5

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24

exactly you go it
