A fridge costs €336 after a price increase of 40%. what was the original price

1 answer:

5 0

the original cost is "x", which is the 100% of the original price, and we also know that €336 is its price increased by 40%, namely 100% + 40% = 140%, so

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 336& 140 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{336}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{140} \\\\\\ \cfrac{x}{336}=\cfrac{5}{7}\implies 7x=1680\implies x=\cfrac{1680}{7}\implies x=240$

The top and bottom margins of a poster are 6 ft and the side margins are each 8 ft. If the area of printed material on the poste

UNO [17]

Answer:

Dimension

Height =29.01

Breadth=38.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Printed area is =386 and margins as specified.

For printed area let height be x and breadth be y.

x*y=386 ⇒ y = $\frac{386}{x}$

Now considering the margins

Height = x+6+6=x+12

Weidth = $\frac{386}{x}$ +8 +8= $\frac{386}{x}$ + 16

Area of poster to be minimised =(x+12)( $\frac{386}{x}$ + 16)

Differentiate above area with respect to x and equate to zero to find extrema.

$\frac{dA}{dx}$ = 16 - $\frac{12*386}{x^{2} }$ =0

x=17.01

Now plug value of x in height and breadth

Height =29.01

Breadth=38.70
