Mathematics
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

-40=a

Step-by-step explanation:

( a-5)/(a+4) = 5/4

Multiply by (a+4) on each side

( a-5)/(a+4) * (a+4) = 5/4 (a+4)

a-5 = 5/4 (a+4)

Multiply by 4 on each side to clear the fractions

4(a-5) = 5/4*4 (a+4)

4(a-5) = 5 (a+4)

Distribute

4a -20 =5a +20

Subtract 4a from each side

4a -4a -20 = 5a-4a +20

-20 =a+20

Subtract 20 from each side

-20-20 =a+20-20

-40=a

The total cost 95 pens and 89 notebooks is RS 7434.The total cost of 1 pen and 1 notebook is 81.What the cost of 1 notebook?
Alex

Answer:

The cost of 1 note book = Rs 43.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as :

95 pens (P) + 89 notebook (N) total cost = Rs 7434

1 pen (P)     +  1 (N)                      total cost = Rs 81

So, from above equation

95 pens (P) + 89 notebook (N) total cost = Rs 7434

1 × 95 pen (P)  +  1× 95 notebook (N)  total cost = Rs 81 × 95

Or, (95 pens (P) + 95 notebook (N) ) - (95 pens (P) + 89 notebook (N) ) = (7695 - 7434)

Or , 6 N = Rs 261

Or,    N =\frac{261}{6} = Rs 43.5

Hence the cost of 1 notebook is Rs 43.5  Answer
