Answer:

The cost price of the article is Rs 1050

The marked price of the article Rs 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

The given discount on the article = 20%

The amount loss  = Rs 90

With a discount of 5% the amount gained = Rs 90

Let the cost price of the article = X

Let the marked price of the article = Y

Therefore, we have;

(1 - 0.2) × Y = X - Rs 90

(1 - 0.5) × Y = X + Rs 90

Which gives;

0.8·Y = X - Rs 90 .......................(1)

0.95·Y = X + Rs 90.....................(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we have;

0.95·Y-0.8·Y = X + Rs 90 - (X - Rs 90) = X - X + Rs 90 + Rs 90 = Rs 180

0.15·Y = Rs 180

Y = Rs 180/0.15 = Rs 1200

Therefor, the marked price of the article = Rs 1200

From;

0.8·Y = X - Rs 90, we have;

0.8×Rs 1200 = X - Rs 90

X = 0.8× 1200 + 90 = Rs 1050

Therefore, the cost price of the article = Rs 1050.

Kay [80]

Answer: 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that Chelsea plays soccer 4/12 of the year and swims 3/12 of the year before taking a break from playing sports.

The fraction of the year that Chelsea spend participating in sports will be the addition of the fraction used for playing soccer and the fraction use for swimming. This will be:

= 4/12 + 3/12

= 7/12

What is the vertex form of y=-1/2x^2 -2x -3?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

y = − 1 2 ⋅ ( x + 2 ) 2 − 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2 - 4x + 5 into vertex form, and state the vertex. Equation in y = ax2 + bx + c form.

-144 is -1 x 2a x 3b what is the sum of a+b?
BigorU [14]
-144= -1×2a×3b
144=2a×3b
144= 6ab
24= ab

a,b could b any two factors that have a product of 24
For example a,b could = 6,4 or 8,3 or 24,1 

Answer:
This question is tricky because it could have multiple answers: for example is a,b= 6,4 then a+b= 10, but if a,b=24+1=25. So, the answer is that the sum of a+b varies depending on which 2 factors of 24 a and b are equal to. Does this make sense?
