Boscov’s purchased 125 pillows for $2.85 each. They plan on marking them up 55%. How much will they make on the pillows?

Boscov's will make $552.19, but have a profit of $195.94.

Step-by-step explanation:

125 * $2.85 * 55%

= $195.94

They will sell the pillows for 125 * 2.85 + 195.94 = $552.19.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
