Answer:

\dfrac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that \sec{\theta}=\dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}. On the other hand,

we can use the equality

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta=1

to find the absolute value of \cos \theta. It holds that

\left[\dfrac{4}{5}\right]^2+\cos^2 \theta = 1 \Rightarrow \\\\\\\quad \cos^2 \theta = 1-\dfrac{16}{25}=\dfrac{9}{25} \Rightarrow\\ \\\cos \theta = \pm \dfrac{3}{5}

Now, in the quadrant 4 the values of cosine is positive for all theta, hence

\cos{\theta}=\dfrac{3}{5} \quad \Rightarrow  \quad \sec \theta=\dfrac{1}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{5}{3}

Total revenue is 3,000 cost of goods 1,500 total selling expence is 500 what is profit
12345 [234]
Cost of goods = 1,500
Selling expense = 500

Total cost in selling = 1500 + 500 = 2000

Profit = Total Revenue - Total cost in selling = 3000 - 2000 = 1000

Profit = 1000

Hope this explains it.
