Ques: 'In a regular Pad Thai dish ordered in Annapolis, Maryland will sell for $11.50. In Parker, Colorado, it sells for $7.25. How much more are you paying in Maryland than in Colorado? What percent is this difference? Round to the nearest percent.'
Ok.... so first one is super easy. 11.50-7.25 = $4.25
The next question is where I am just not too sure about.
Is it 7.25/11.50 = 0.6304347 = 63% (???)

Colorado restaurant sells a small bowl of soup for $4.25 and a medium bowl for $5.25, $2.00 extra for protein on either size. If their making 300% markup based on cost of their food, what is the cost for a small size soup with protein? Round to the nearest cent.
So Selling price is 4.25+2.00=$6.25 (selling price)
Selling price = Cost + Dollar markup (300%)
6.25 = Cost + (3.00)Cost
6.25 = 4Cost
6.25/4 (to isolate the Cost)
1.5625 = cost
$1.56 = cost

to say Hi.
when we broke up (sunday) he said that he doesn't know if he ever liked me (which I thought he didn't if he never knew) but 2 days later he text me to say "hi". I didn't respond for the whole day and he text me later that night saying he's sorry but he just wanted to say hi. wtf?
I text back saying I need some space and I haven't heard back since.
Is he messing with my head??

1 AnswerSingles & Dating10 years agohelp! i have a bleeding heart for him?
a week ago, i finally manned up and ended things with a guy i was dating. he's a kind-hearted person, honest and humble BUT we didnt have a lot in common and it was hard to relate to each other. he wasnt very intimate with me & we went along with the relationship for about four months trying to familiarize ourselves w/ each other & hoping i guess. for about the four months we dated, we saw each other consistently about once or twice every week and i spent nights at his place. the thing is... even tho i finally called it quits with him, i hate that i have a bleeding heart for him! he treated me with respect and care- it made me feel good even tho i guess u can say i never felt any 'passion' (only in bed with him) and i guess that i know he's a lonesome person, this just adds to the bleeding. i dont want to fix a guy or try to be someone's hero so i dont know why i have a bleeding heart for him?? ive been with guys who were nice to me and i didnt care for them after.
someone please knock some sense in to me so i dont end up calling this guy. i sort of feel like i made a mistake....
5 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agoi ended things with him because he started smoking but now i feel like it was a mistake?
gosh i hate coming on here to ask but i think i get some feedbacks from ppl who prob has had a lot more experience in relationship than me. ive only had one serious relationship and i would talk to my girlfriends but they just like to bash on guys and i get offended if they did this to my ex. so heres the story... i started dating this guy back in may and we had our ups and downs. we never really got in to a big fight and even tho we were very different in a lot of ways, we always had mutual respect and understanding.... as well as a very satisfying sexual relationship (no overstatement). so after a low month (August) he's been doing a lot to make up for it this September. He's been great actually. BUT yesterday, i found out that he started smoking cigarettes. he says it helps 'calms' him esp. during his grave yard shifts. he does 10 hour shift of laborious work every nite. so that was to me, a dealbreaker. there are other things i can nitpick that i dont like about him .... but then again, there are things i really like about him and how the way he treats me.
i know i ended things on the right terms and he asked if we can still hang out but i know that he's crazy about me sexually and i will only end up kissing and touching him again too. i never been with a guy like that before who made me feel very desirable and it's intoxicated because he's very attractive, kind, humble and genuine. even tho we didnt connect much when we talked, i think i like to believe that i dont like him that much and vice versa but im afraid that we will both end up missing one another because we were always consistent and respectful of each other, plus sex was mindblowing..... did i do the right thing or did i jump in to the decision too fast??
2 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agoim just so disgusted that he used to be a former swinger?
i dont want to tell him this but when he tries to kiss me or hug me or hold me, i pull away. i think im being judgmental and he's been nothing but nice to me. but after he telling me all his past and what he's done (like cheat too) i find it just hard to appreciate him and find him very undesirable. he has a lot of baggage.... but i know everyone has baggage. does this make me a bad person?? does this make me too critical??
