If the mean (average) of five consecutive numbers is 21, the smallest of three five numbers will be...

1 answer:

7 0

Consecutive numbers are 1 apart
they are
x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4

average is 21
(x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4)/5=21
(5x+10)/5=21
times both sides by 5
5x+10=105
minus 10 both sides
5x=95
divide both sides by 5
x=19
x+1=20
x+2=21
x+3=22
x+4=23

the smallest number is 19

What percent of discount should be given in a doll costing Rs 180

wolverine [178]

Answer:

11.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is:

$180 * (x)% = $y

Therefore $180 - $y = $160

Now:

180 - 160 = 20

Therefore; $20 is the discount

Now per cent of discount:

20/180 * 100 = 11.111111111111111111111%

therefore: per cent of discount is 11.11% (rounded to two decimal place)
