Full question :

A man buys a certain number of oranges at 20 for Rs. 60 and an equal number at 30 for Rs. 60. He mixes them and sells them at 25 for Rs. 60. What is the gain or loss percent?

Answer:

4% loss(percentage loss on cost price)

Step-by-step explanation:

we will be employing algebra in solving this problem :

20 oranges at 60 Rs=60Rs/20 per orange=3Rs per orange

Say x oranges bought at 3Rs per orange=3Rsx

Equal number of oranges at 30 oranges for 60 Rs=60Rs/30 per orange=2Rs per orange

Say x oranges bought at 3Rs per orange=2Rsx

Total Cost Price = 3Rsx + 2Rsx = 5Rsx

He then sells all oranges at 25 for 60 Rs

Therefore price per orange=60/25=12/5Rs

since he sold x+x oranges(from the above calculations)

Total selling price=total oranges *12/5Rs=2x oranges*12/5Rs=24x/5Rs

Profit or loss=24x/5-5x=-x/5

therefore we have a loss =-x/5

Percentage of loss(on cost price)

=x/5÷5x∗100=

=1/25∗100=4%

Answer:

$\frac{20}{369}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ 3.4:1.8 - 1 \frac{2}{3} + \frac{7}{9} }{0.918:0.51 + 0.45} =$
$\frac{\frac{34}{18}- \frac{5}{3}+\frac{7}{9} }{18 +\frac{45}{100} } =$
$\frac{\frac{17}{9}-\frac{15}{9}+\frac{7}{9}}{18+ \frac{9}{20} } =$
$\frac{\frac{17-15+7}{9} }{\frac{369}{20} } =$
$\frac{9}{9} } *\frac{20}{369} =$
$\frac{20}{369}$

A circular mirror is surrounded by a square metal frame. The radius of the mirror is 2x. The side length of the metal frame is 8

Schach [20]

Answer:

183.43x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the entire frame = (14x)2 = 196x2

Area of the mirror = pi(2x)2 = 4x2(pi)

Area of the frame surrounding the mirror = (196 - 4pi)x2 = 183.43x2

Evaluate the function f(x) at the given numbers (correct to six decimal places). F(x) = x2 − 5x x2 − x − 20 , x = 5.5, 5.1, 5.05

exis [7]

we are given

$f(x)=\frac{x^2-5x}{x^2-x-20}$

Firstly, we will simplify it

$f(x)=\frac{x(x-5)}{(x-5)(x+4)}$

$f(x)=\frac{x}{(x+4)}$

At x=5.5:

we can plug x=5.5

$f(5.5)=\frac{5.5}{(5.5+4)}$

$f(5.5)=0.578947$

At x=5.1:

we can plug x=5.1

$f(5.1)=\frac{5.1}{(5.1+4)}$

$f(5.1)=0.56043956$

At x=5.05:

we can plug x=5.05

$f(5.05)=\frac{5.05}{(5.05+4)}$

$f(5.05)=0.558011$

At x=5.01:

we can plug x=5.01

$f(5.01)=\frac{5.01}{(5.01+4)}$

$f(5.01)=0.5560488$

At x=5.005:

we can plug x=5.005

$f(5.005)=\frac{5.005}{(5.005+4)}$

$f(5.005)=0.5558023$

At x=5.001:

we can plug x=5.001

$f(5.001)=\frac{5.001}{(5.001+4)}$

$f(5.001)=0.5556049$

At x=4.9:

we can plug x=4.9

$f(4.9)=\frac{4.9}{(4.9+4)}$

$f(4.9)=0.5505617$

At x=4.95:

we can plug x=4.95

$f(4.95)=\frac{4.95}{(4.95+4)}$

$f(4.95)=0.5530726$

At x=4.99:

we can plug x=4.99

$f(4.99)=\frac{4.99}{(4.99+4)}$

$f(4.99)=0.55506117$

At x=4.995:

we can plug x=4.995

$f(4.995)=\frac{4.995}{(4.995+4)}$

$f(4.995)=0.55503085$

At x=4.999:

we can plug x=4.999

$f(4.999)=\frac{4.999}{(4.999+4)}$

$f(4.999)=0.55550616$
