The cost price of the table is $40.

<h3>What is Gain ?</h3>

Gain is the amount gain by selling the product at a higher price than its cost.

Let the cost of the table is $ x

The percentage gain is x%  (as given in the question)

Cost price = ?

It is known that

Step 1 : Gain = ( selling Price - Cost Price) * 100 / Cost Price

Selling price = 56

Cost Price = $ x

Therefore substituting the value

x = (56 - x) * 100 / x

x² = 5600 - 100x

x² +100x -5600 = 0

Step 2 : Factorizing

x² + 140x - 40 x -5600 = 0

x( x+14 ) -40( x +14) = 0

( x - 40)(x +14) = 0

x = $40

Therefore the cost price of the table is $40.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

3w+45=557

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of box Y be w kg.

Box X weighs 33 kg more than Box Y, then the weight of box X is

w+33 kg.

Box Z weighs 12 kg more than Box Y, then the weight of box Z is

w+12 kg.

The total weight of all boxes is

w+(w+33)+(w+12)=w+w+33+w+12=3w+45 kg

Jane measured the total weight of all the boxes and it was found to be 557 kg, therefore,

3w+45=557

or

3w=512

Brand X Pizza is having a special coupon offer. If you buy two large pizzas, you get $2.00 off the price. A large pizza normally
Olegator [25]

Very handy question to know the answer to. I know of no place on the planet that does not have a tax of some sort.

The tax only applies when money changes hands. It does not apply to any discounts

So if you take the deal, the cost is

Cost of 2 pizzas = normal price - the discount.

Cost of 2 pizzas = 2*10.50 - 2.00

Cost of 2 pizzas = 21 - 2

Cost of 2 pizzas = 19.00 dollars.

Not you add on the sales tax. You can do this one of two ways, the long way or the short way.

<u>Long way</u>

Find the sales tax

Tax = % * cost

Tax = (7.5/100) * 19

Tax = 1.425 don't round yet.

Total Cost = purchase + tax

Total Cost = 19.00 + 1.425 = 20.425 Now round. This is a real problem. It depends on what you have been told to do about rounding when 5 is the last digit. I round up. So my answer would be 20.43 <<<<< Answer.

<u>Short Way</u>

Cost = (Price - discount)*(1 + %/100)

Cost = (21 - 2)*(1+ 7.5/100)

Cost = 19 * (1.075)

Cost = 20.425 = 20.43
