Answer:

x = 5 when y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is inversely proportional to x, we can say that x1 : x2 = y2 : y1

The order of y2 and y1 respectively are interchanged as y is inversely proportional to x

Now let us simply substitute our known values, and solve for x2;

x1 : x2 = y2 : y1

20 : x2 = 12 : 3

20/x2 = 12/3

12(x2) = 3(20)

12(x2) = 60

x2 = 60/12 = 5

a shopkeeper purchased a TV at ₹15,000 and gives a discount of 20% on its marked prize and still got a profit of 8% . find the m
Setler79 [48]

\huge\sf\underline{Answer}

\sf\longrightarrow selling \: prize \:   =  \frac{100 + profit\%}{100}  \times cp

\sf\longrightarrow  \frac{108}{100}  \times 15000 = 16200

Let the marked prize of the TV be x .

\sf\longrightarrow discount = 20\% \: of \: x \:  =  \frac{20}{100}x =  \frac{x}{5}

We have SP = MP - Discount

\sf\longrightarrow 16200 \:  =  \: x -  \frac{x}{5}

\sf\longrightarrow 16200 \:  =  \frac{4x}{5}

\sf\longrightarrow x \:  =  \: 20250

<em>Hence </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>T</em><em>he </em><em>marked</em><em> </em><em>prize</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>TV </em><em>is </em><em>₹</em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em>,</em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>.</em>

Write a real world problem that you would represent with the equation 4x+5=37.
AURORKA [14]
Bob was 5 feet off the ground. He travels 4 feet every single second. How long will it take for him to reach 37 feet?

4x + 5 = 37

4x + 5 (-5) = 37 (-5)

4x = 32

4x/4 = 32/4

x = 8

It will take Bob ~8 seconds to reach 37 feet*
