Byron is 2 years younger than Cindy. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 14.
How old is Byron now?

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of Byron be b yr old and Cindy be c yr old.

c = b + 2 --(1)

b - 8 + c - 8 = 14

b + c = 30 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

2b = 28

b = 14

therefore Byron is 14 yr old now.

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.
