Answer:

₹165.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

No. of electric bulbs = 1000

cost of each electric bulb = ₹ 150

No. of bulbs broken = 50

Selling price of each bulb = x

Profit percentage = 5%

To Find:-

The selling price of each bulb.

Solution:-

Cost price of 1000 electric bulbs,

= 1000 × ₹150

= ₹1,50,000

5% profit on the total cost price,

= {5}/{100}× ₹150000

= ₹7500

Total selling price = ₹157500

No. of bulbs remaining = 950

Therefore, selling price of each bulb,

= {₹157500}/{950}

= ₹165.79

Therefore,

Selling price of each bulb = ₹165.79

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

nth term is;

0.5n-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, the first term is 0

The common difference is 0.5-0= 1-0.5 = 1.5-1 = 0.5

Formula for nth term of an arithmetic sequence is;

a + (n-1)d

So we have

0 + (n-1) 0.5

= 0.5n-0.5
