a) $2155, b) $1763.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cable knit sweaters = 15

Cost per sweaters = $65.00

Number of pairs of khaki twill pants = 22

Cost of each pair = $50.00

Number of casual jackets = 18

Cost of each jackets = $62.00

total sale volume would be

Employee discount = 35%

Additional discount = 15%

So, Total markdown dollars taken is given by

Hence, a) $2155, b) $1763.03.

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
