Question 1:

70 x 1.30 is 91 - 70 is equal to 21 pizzas, they would have to sell 91 total pizzas, which is 21 more than what was sold the previous day

Question 2:

Both parts are solved below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Purchase price = 150

Part A

As the online trailer marks up 30% so the price would be:

= 150 + 30% of 150

=150 + 0.3(150)

= 150 + 45

Price online= $195

° ♡ ₒ ♡ °

Part B

As the superstore marks up the price by 40% so the price would be:

= 150 + 40% of 150

=150 + 0.4(150)

= 150 + 60

Price at superstore = $210

° ♡ ₒ ♡ °

Difference

Difference = price at superstore - price online

Difference = 210 - 195

Difference = $15

Difference in markup = 40% - 30% = 10%

So a 10% difference leads to the difference of $15 in price.

Answer:

1. 91 = 70*1.30

2a. 195= 150*1.30

2b. 210 = 150*1.40

3a. 56.70 = 156* .30

3b. 132.30 = 156-56.70

3c. 17.20 = 132.30 *0.13

3d. 149.50 = 132.30+17.20

3e. You do not have enough money, because you need $9.50 more.
