A store owner bought comforters for x dollars and is marking them up 60 percent write two expressions that represent the selling price and show that they are equivalent.
1.6 x
x + .6 x I guess :)

wait so I’m coming back to voice Simon again? Sweet! Thanks Andreas!
A rug is 6 7/8 feet long and W feet wide. Which expression does not represent the permeter of the rug in feet?
To find the selling price of the comforters after a 60% markup, we can use the following expressions:
1. Expression 1:
Selling Price = Cost Price + Markup
Selling Price = x + (60/100)x
2. Expression 2:
Selling Price = Cost Price + (Markup Percentage / 100) * Cost Price
Selling Price = x + (60/100) * x
Now, let's simplify both expressions to show that they are equivalent:
1. Expression 1: Selling Price = x + (60/100)x
Simplifying by finding the common denominator of 100:
Selling Price = (100x/100) + (60x/100)
Selling Price = (100x + 60x)/100
Selling Price = (160x)/100
Simplifying further:
Selling Price = 1.6x
2. Expression 2: Selling Price = x + (60/100) * x
Simplifying the percentage:
Selling Price = x + (0.6 * x)
Selling Price = x + 0.6x
Selling Price = 1.6x
Both expressions simplify to the same result of 1.6x, which represents the selling price of the comforters after a 60% markup.
