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.

Round 523,837 to the nearest thousand
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

524,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we mark the two nearest thousands.

They are 523,000 and 524,000.

The midpoint is 523,500.

Ignoring the thousands, ten-thousands, and hundred-thousands place, we have 837.

Now, is 837 closer to 0 or 1000?

It's closer to 1000, so 524,000 is our answer.

(b) If the pill is to contain 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C, then how much vitamin C does the pill contain per
daser333 [38]

The question is incomplete. Below is the complete question:

A pill has the shape of a cylinder with a hemisphere at each end. The height of the cylindrical portion 11

mm and the overall height is 18 mm.

(a) Find the volume of the pill in cubic millimeters. Round to the nearest cubic

millimeter.

(b) If the pill is to contain 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C, then how much vitamin C does the pill contain per

cubic millimeter? Round to the nearest tenth of a cubic millimeter.

Answer:

a. 603 cubic millimetre

b. 1.7 mg/mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The since the pill has the shape of a cylinder and 2 hemispheres at both ends of the cylinder, if we are to calculate the volume, we will need the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a hemisphere:

a. The volume of a cylinder = π×r^2×h and the volume of a hemisphere = 2×π×r^3.

The total height of the pill is 18mm but that of the cylinder specifically is 11cm, so 18 - 11 = 7mm.

This becomes the combined radius of the two hemispheres. We will now split it into 2:

7/2 = 3.5mm

This becomes the radius of each of the 2 hemispheres and will be used for calculating their respective volumes. The cylinder too will share same radius with the spheres (3.5mm). Let us take π as 3.14

Volume of the pill is then:

V =[2× (2/3 × π×r^3)] + π×r^2×h

V = [2×[(2/3) × 3.14 × 3.5^3]] + 3.14 × (3.5^2) × 11

[2 × (89.752)] + 423.115

179.504 + 423.115

= 602.619

= 603mm^3 (nearest cubic millimetre)

b. In order to find out how much vitamin C the pill will contain per cubic millimetre if it is to contain 1000mg of vitamin C, we will simply divide 1,000mg by the already calculated volume:

= 1000/63

= 1.658

= 1.7 mg/mm^3 (nearest tenth)
