Angelica's service club is selling flowers for a fundraiser. Each flower costs them $0.50 to purchase. They set the sale price of each flower at the purchase price plus 40%.

Write your solution in the context of the original problem.

Answer 1

ok based on my memory...i find how much it would be for the percentage and add it to the .50...if that makes sense

Answer 2

so i would say multiply .50 and 40%

Answer 3

that equals .2 so you would add that to .50 and what would you get

Answer 4

Answer 5

um .70?

Answer 6

yes thats what i got...

Answer 7

ok so thats the answer?

Answer 8

no..i would say you need to divide 500 by .70 ...that should give you the amount of flowers needed..then you still have to write the equation

Answer 9

i can tell you now your gonna need to round the number

Answer 10

Answer 11

ok so the full number that i got was 714.285714286 i would say just go ahead and round that to 715...and then just write how you found the answer and stuff....
