Find the cost of the article. retail price of article = $555 percentage of markup (on cost) = 35% cost of article = 194.25 360.75 411.11 749.25

The correct option is D. $749.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Retail Price of the article = $555

Percentage of mark up on the cost = 35%

Mark up cost of the article = 35% of 555

                                            = 0.35 × 555

                                            = $194.25

Now, cost price of the article = Retail cost price + Mark up cost

                                                = 555 + 194.25

                                                = $749.25

Hence, Cost of the article = $749.25

Therefore, The correct option is D. $749.25

y = - x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

slope of parallel line = -

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 2) ⇒ c = - 2

y = - x - 2 ← equation of parallel line
