A person sold an article at a profit of 15% if he sold it for Rs 81 less , his loss would have been 12% find the cost price of t

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

let cp be x

sp= 115x/100 ---(when 15%gain)

sp = 88x/100------(when 12% loss

according to question

115x/100 - 88x/100 = 81

or, (115x-88x)= 8100

or, 27x = 8100

or, x= 8100/27

x = 300

hence cp is RS 300

1400 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 5.5%. to the nearest year, how long will it take for the ac

olga_2 [115]

It will take 19 years and 6 months for the account value to reach 2900 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principal amount = 1400 dollars

Rate = 5.5 %

Final value = A = 2900

We have to find t

So,

The formula for simple interest is:

$A = P(1+rt)$

Putting values

$2900 = 1400(1+0.055.t)\\\frac{2900}[1400} = 1+0.055t\\2.071 = 1+0.055t\\2.071-1=0.055t\\1.071 =0.055t$

Dividing both sides by 0.055

$\frac{0.055t}{0.055} = \frac{1.071}{0.055}\\t = 19.47\ years$

Rounding off to nearest tenth

19.5 years

Hence,

It will take 19 years and 6 months for the account value to reach 2900 dollars

A package of 10 batteries is checked to determine if there are any dead batteries. Four batteries are checked. If one or more ar

frutty [35]

Answer:

There is a probability of 76% of not selling the package if there are actually three dead batteries in the package.

Step-by-step explanation:

With a 10-units package of batteries with 3 dead batteries, the sampling can be modeled as a binomial random variable with:

n=4 (the amount of batteries picked for the sample).
p=3/10=0.3 (the proportion of dead batteries).
k≥1 (the amount of dead batteries in the sample needed to not sell the package).

The probability of having k dead batteries in the sample is:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}q^{n-k}$

Then, the probability of having one or more dead batteries in the sample (k≥1) is:

$P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{4}{0} p^{0}q^{4}=1*1*0.7^4=0.2401\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.2401=0.7599\approx0.76$

Ryan's unpaid credit card balance was $1853.68. His APR is 24.9%. What is his new balance after he makes one new transaction for

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

$2070.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit card terms vary, as do methods of computing interest and new balance. Here, we'll assume that no payment has been made (<em>in violation of the terms of the credit card</em>), and that the finance charge is only applied to the previous balance.

The finance charge is ...

$1853.68 × 0.249 ÷ 12 = $38.46 . . . . . . . the monthly rate is 0.249÷12

Then the new balance will be the sum of the previous balance, finance charge, and new transaction(s):

$1853.68 +38.46 + 178.00 = $2070.14

_____

<em>Comment on lack of payment</em>

Because no payment has been made, there may also be a late-payment charge added to the balance.
