The number of cupcakes sold at the bakery dropped 25% this month and they sold only 240 cupcakes this month. How many cupcakes did they sell last month?

300 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, the first step is finding 25% of 240, we do this by multiplying .25 by 240. This gets us 60. Then, to get 125% of 240 (since sales dropped 25%), we add 240 and 60, this gets us 300. 300 cupcakes were sold. Another way to do this is 1.25x240. I wanted to explain it more thoroughly, though.

a) 7x=7

step-by-step explanation:

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
