Answer:

25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price = 60 Ghana cedis for 50 metres

Selling price = 1.50 cedis for 1 meter

x cedis for 50 meters

Cross multiply

Selling price = 75 cedis

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

75 - 60

Profit = 15

Profit % =

$\frac{profit}{cost \: price} \times \frac{100}{1} \\ \frac{15}{60} \times \frac{100}{1} \\ \\$

Profit % = 25 %

REN fine six peanuts, four raisins, 3 cranberries, and 5 chocolate chips in a handful of trail mix. For every 9 pieces in Ren's

Answer:

2 raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent total number of required ingredient.

We have been given that Ren finds 6 peanuts, 4 raisins, 3 cranberries, and 5 chocolate chips in a handful of trail mix. We are asked to find of which ingredient Ren will have 2 pieces for a total of 9 pieces.

First of all, we will find total number of ingredients by adding each ingredient as:

$\text{Total number of ingredients}=6+4+3+5$

$\text{Total number of ingredients}=18$

Now, we will use ratio to solve for our given problem as:

$\frac{\text{Required ingredient}}{\text{Total ingredient}}=\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{x}{18}=\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{x}{18}\cdot 18=\frac{2}{9}\cdot 18$

$x=\frac{2}{1}\cdot 2$

$x=4$

Since there are 4 raisins, therefore, for every 9 pieces in Ren's handful of trail mix there are 2 raisins.

Four consecutive odd integers add up to -48. What is the least of these integers?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Four consecutive odd integers be (2x - 3),(2x -1),(2x + 1),(2x + 3)

2x-3 + 2x - 1 +2x+1 + 2x+3 = -48

2x + 2x + 2x +2x - 3 - 1 + 3 + 1 = -48

8x = -48

x = -48/8

x = -6

Least of these integer = 2x + 3 = 2*(-6) + 3 = -12 + 3 = -9
