Lets call those two unknown numbers a, b and write the info in the problem as equations:
a*b = 30
a + b = 40
lets solve for a in the second equation and substitute in the first:
<span>a + b = 40
</span>a = 40 - b
therefore:
<span>a*b = 30
</span>(40 - b)b = 30
40b - b^2 = 30
b^2 - 40b + 30 = 0
if we apply the general quadratic equation to solve we have:
b = (40 +- √(1600 - 120))/2
b = (40 +- √(1480<span>))/2
</span>b = (40 +- 38.47)/2
There are two solutions:
<span>b1 = (40 + 38.47)/2
</span><span>b1 = 39.24
b2 = (40 - 38.47)/2
</span>b2 = 0.765
lets use the second solution <span>b2 = 0.765, and substitute in the first equation to find a:
</span><span>a*b = 30
</span>a*0.765 = 30
a = 30/0.765
a = 39.216
so the numbers are 39.216 and 0.765

A person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen he sells it at Rs 80 a pair find the gain p
k0ka [10]

Given,

CP of cosmetics = Rs 360 per dozen

SP of a pair of cosmetics = Rs 80

We need to find the profit percentage.

Solution,

We know that,

1 dozen = 12 items

CP of 1 cosmetic = 360/12 = Rs 30

SP of 1 cosmetic = 80/2 = Rs 40

Profit = SP-CP

= Rs 40 - Rs 30

= Rs 10

Profit percentage is given by :

\%=\dfrac{profit}{CP}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{10}{30}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%

So, the profit percentage is 33.34%.
