Answer: $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula for percentage increase I (given as a decimal) of an investment is I=\dfrac{S-P}{P}, where P is the purchase price and S is the sale price.

If Price of stock S= $75 and the percentage increase of 25% i.e. I=0.25.

Then, to find P , we substitute the values of S and I in the given equation, we get

0.25=\dfrac{75-P}{P}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25P=75-P\\\\\Rightarrow\ P+0.25P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ (1.25)P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{75}{1.25}=60

Hence, the purchase price of the stock was $60.

If p varies directly with T and p =105 when T=400.Find p when T =500
kumpel [21]

Answer:

<h3>p = 131.25</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation p varies directly with T is written as

p = kT

where k is the constant of proportionality

To find p when T =500 we must first find the formula for the variation

That's

when p = 105 and T = 400

105 = 400k

Divide both sides by 400

<h3>k =  \frac{21}{80}</h3>

So the formula for the variation is

<h2>p =  \frac{21}{80} T</h2>

when

T = 500

Substitute it into the above formula

That's

p =  \frac{21}{80}  \times 500

Simplify

The final answer is

<h3>p = 131.25</h3>

Hope this helps you
