Nick wants to buy a pair of shoes. the original cost of the shoes is $56.75, and the markup is 12 percent. how much will he have to pay for the shoes?

NIck will have to pay $63.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this

the original cost of the shoes is $56.75 and the markup is 12%. Hence Nick has to pay 112% of the original cost, you can find this value using a simple rule of three

Step one

if

$56.75 ⇔100%

$x?       ⇔112%?

NIck will have to pay $63.56

Have a great day

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
