Answer:
The barge can carry up to 94 railroad cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Create an inequality to represent the weight of the barge to the max weight.
24 + 4r ≤ 400
Solve for r:
4r ≤ 400 - 24
4r ≤ 376
4r ≤ 376/4
r ≤ 94
the easiest way is to make the fractions the same, with common denominators.
that means you have to multiply (1/4) by 2, to make it 2/8.
then you can see that she can make 3 total trips, not including driving back home.
You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
Answer:
33.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the <u>unit selling price and cost of each cosmetics.</u>
If a person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen., then for 1 cosmetics, we will say;
x = 1 cosmetic
since 360 = 12 cosmetic
cross multiply
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30
Hence the unit cost price of the cosmetics will be Rs. 30
Similarly, if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40 (a pair is 2 cosmetics)
Selling price per unit = Rs. 40
Cost price per unit = Rs. 30
percent gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%
percent gain = 40-30/30 * 100
percent gain = 10/30 * 100
percent gain = 100/3
percent gain = 33.33%
Hence the percentage gain is 33.33%
