Answer:
The answer is: $471
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two ratios and cross multiply:
8 / 100 = 37.68 / x
8x = 37.68 * 100
8x = 3768
x = 3768 / 8 = $471.00
Proof:
$471 * .08 = $37.68
Let
x---------> represent the number of miles Troy's has driven
y--------> represent the amount of gas in Troy's truck
we know that
the equation that represents the amount of gas, y, in troy' s truck after driving a certain number of miles, x is

where
m is the slope---------> 
in this problem the slope is equal to 
it's negative because the tank is going to be consumed
assuming he starts with a full tank

substitute in the formula above

therefore
the answer is
the equation

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
His gain percent would have been 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to answering this question is to first calculate the price at which the wheat flour was bought.
Mathematically;
% profit = (selling price-cost price)/cost price * 100%
Let the cost price be $x
Thus;
% profit = (30-x)/x * 100
20 = 100(30-x)/x
20x = 3000-100x
100x + 20x = 3000
120x = 3000
x = 3000/120
x = Rs 25
So let’s assume he sold at Rs 27
His profit would have been 27-25 = 2
His gain or loss percentage would’ve been;
2/25 * 100/1 = 200/25 = 8% (gain, since selling price is greater than the cost price)
