Simplifying is basically 1 + 1, so the answer is 2, or 8/4 whichever you prefer.
It can also be 4/2, or 2/1...
I think it’s the last one
The correct answer is the first one.
5 x 100 is correct.
9 x 1 is correct because the 9 is in the ones section, not the tens.
3 x 1/10 is correct because it is equal to 0.3.
7 x 1/1000 is correct because it is equal to 0.007.
Hope this helped! You’re welcome
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%
