Answer:
2% gain
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the shopkeeper bought the appliances at the indicated prices, and that gain is computed on the basis of that cost price.
Since the base cost is the same for each appliance, the percentages can be added directly to find the percentage gain on 8000. However, the shopkeeper's total outlay was 16000, not 8000, so the final gain percentage is half of that total.
gain percent = (-4% + 8%)/2 = 2%
_____
If you want to see the actual numbers:
Loss on VCR = 4% × 8000 = 320.
Gain on TV = 8% × 8000 = 640.
Total gain on 16000 is -320 +640 = 320. As a percentage, that is ...
320/16000 × 100% = 2%
Answer:
y = 2/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
2(7/2)^x = 49/2
Divide both sides by 2:
(7/2)^x = 49/4
I notice that 49/4 can be rewritten as (7/2)^2, so we now have:
(7/2)^x = (7/2)^2
The only way for this to be true is if x = 2. Thus, we are done.
