The owner of a small store buys coats for $55.00 each. Answer parts a and b. a. She sells the coats for $99.00 each. What percent of the purchase price is the sale price? b. The owner increases the sale price by the same percent that you found in part a when she buys jackets for $45 and sells them. How many jackets must the owner buy for the total jacket sales to be at least $390? Explain your answer.

180% ; 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchase price per coat = 55

Sales price per coat = 99

% of purchase price is sales price :

X% * 55 = 99

(x / 100) * 55 = 99

0.01x * 55 = 99

0.55x = 99

x = 99 / 0.55

x = 180

180% of purchase price

B.)

180% * 45 = 81 per jacket

Number of jackets to sell to make atleast $390 in sales

$390 / $81 = 4.8

Hence, 5 jackets

b

6.5
