(1)Using your answer from above, (170 hives) how much did the almond grower pay for renting the bees when it was $40 per hive? How much did he have to spend when the price increased to $60 per hive? (2). If there are 40,000 bees in a hive and there is a 90% loss, how many bees died? How many are left to pollinate the plants?

1) At $40 per hive, the almond grower spent $6,800

At $60 per hive, the almond grower spent $10,200

2) 36,000 bees died, 4,000 lived to pollinate.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 170x40= 6,800

170x60=10,200

2) 10% of 40,000 is 4,000

40,000-4,000=36,000

90%=36,000 10%=4,000

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

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
