A few more interesting problems that we can try:

1. The base price of the 1991 Buyer's Car of the Year was $15,925. The base price of the same car in 1994 is $19,705. Find the percent of increase.

2. Connie's clothing prices their goods 25% above the wholesale price. It the retail price of a jacket is $79, what was the wholesale price?

3. Delectable Dan's Cookie Company sells two kinds of cookies daily: chocolate chip (yummy) at $6.50 per dozen and white chocolate macadamia at $9.00 per dozen. On Thursday, Dan sold 85 dozen more chocolate chip than white chocolate macadamia cookies. The total sales for both were $4055.50. How many dozens of each were sold?


Maybe we can help each other solve the cookie problem?
Laughing


1. about 23.7%

2. $63.20

3. 311 doz chocolate chip
226 doz white chocolate macadamia

Here are a few other problems, maybe someone will be interested in giving them a try:

1. Do and DoLittle leave their home at the same time, traveling in opposite directions. Do travels at 80 kilometers per hour and DoLittle travels at 72 kilometers per hour. In how many hours will they be 760 kilometers apart?


2. At 8:00 AM Mrs. Bucket leaves home on a business trip driving 35 miles per hour. A half hour later, Richard discovers that Mrs. Bucket forgot her briefcase. He drives 50 miles per hour to catch up with her. If Richard is delayed 15 minutes with a flat tire, when will he catch up with Mrs. Bucket?
