Answer:

80 countries participated in the 1980 olympics in Moscow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

You can solve this by using a simple rule of three

Step 1

define

140 countries participated in 1984,this was 75% more than the last time,this means that 140 is the 175% of a value that we need to know

if

140 ⇔175%

x?    ⇔100%

the relation is

\frac{140}{175}=\frac{x}{100}

Step 2

solve for x

\frac{140}{175}=\frac{x}{100}\\x=\frac{100*140}{175}\\x=\frac{14000}{175} \\x=80

80 countries participated in the 1980 olympics in Moscow.

Have a nice day

frutty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A)8% B) 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let assume:

the cost price of the goods - $y.

the selling price of the goods - $x.

Given: The retailer sold at 4% discount, or 0.96x (100% - 4% = 96%). Since the goods were sold to make 20% profit, therefore it was sold for:

1.2y (100% + 20% = 120%).

Solution:

The refrigerator was sold at 13% VAT at Rs. 10848:

then,

=> 1.2y + 13%(1.2y) = 10848

=> 1.2y + 0.156y = 10848

=> 1.356y = 10848

=> y = 8000

Thus, the cp is Rs 8000.

The selling price is:

=> 0.96x = 1.2y

=> 0.96x = 1.2(8000)

=> x = 10000

The sp is Rs. 10000

For a profit of 15%, that is 1.15(8000) = 9200, the discount is:

(1 - discount)10000 = 9200

1 - discount = 0.92

Discount = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08 or 8%

B) Let C & M as cost price & marked price of the scanner machine respectively.  

(1 + 20/100)*C = 41400

or (6/5)*C = 41400

or C = (5/6)*41400

= 34500 (Rs)

(1 - 10/100)*(1 + 15/100)*M = 41400

or (9/10)*(23/20)*M = 41400

or M = (10/9)*(20/23)*41400

= 40000 (Rs)

Let R% as the reduction in the percent in discount  

(1 - 10/100 + R/100)*(1 + 15/100)*M

= (1 + 20/100 + 4/100)*C

or (9/10 + R/100)*(23/20)*40000

= (31/25)*34500

or 9/10 + R/100

= (20/23)(31/25)*(345/400)

or R/100 = 0.93 - 0.9 = 0.03

or R = 3%

Stels [109]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "0.9476".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Standard deviation,

\sigma=1150

Randomly selected railroad-car shipments,

n = 500

As we know,

⇒ \sigma \bar{x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      =\frac{1150}{\sqrt{500} }

then,

⇒      =P(-1.94

⇒      =P(Z

On using the table of P, we get

⇒      =0.9738 - 0.0262

⇒      =0.9476
