The only garments that a particular factory produces are dresses and shirts. It produces three dresses for every five shirts it makes. If the factory produced a total of 72 garments today, how many dresses did it make?

The factory makes 27 dresses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total garments = number of shirts + number of dresses

⇒ 72 = 5x + 3x

⇒ 72 = 8x

⇒ x = 9

The number of dresses is 3x = 3(9) = 27 dresses.

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
