~asap offering 12 points~ mostly kitchens pays $235.80 for a pallet load of paper towels. the pallet holds 36 cases with 12 rolls per case. mostly kitchens sells the paper towels for $10.99 a case. what is the markup per roll to the nearest cent? (hint: find the markup per case first.) use the following equations to you find your answer cost = selling price - markup markup = selling price - cost

If you do the problem according to the hint, you first fine the cost per case, which is

... ($235.80/pallet) · (1 pallet)/(36 cases) = $6.55/case

Then the markup per case is

... markup = selling price - cost

... markup = $10.99 - 6.55 = 4.44

Since there are 12 rolls per case, the markup per rool is 1/12 of this value:

... markup/roll = (markup/case) · (1 case)/(12 rolls) = $4.44/12 = $0.37

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
