The bridal shop has net sales of $33,000 and returns of 1/12 of gross sales. If net sales equal gross sales minus returns, find gross sales.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Why not set up an equation?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n = net sales\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r = returns\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "g = gross\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here is your equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n = g - r\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let n = 33,000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let r = 1/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "33,000 = g - (1/12)(g)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can write (1/12)(g)as (g/12).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here is your equation ready to be solved:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "33,000 = g - (g/12)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Can you take it from here?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "All you have to do is solve for g.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If not, write back.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
