Less then i really hope i helped
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
L = a + (n - 1)*d
Givens
L = 55
a = 13
n =8
Solution
55 = 13 + (8 - 1)*d Combine
55 = 13 + 7d Subtract 13 from both sides
55 - 13 = 7d
42 = 7d Divide by 7
d = 6
easy
5% is .05 two decimals to the left
55 x .05 = 2.75
$2.75 is your sales tax
55+2.75=$57.75
Answer: 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shopkeeper purchased 60 pencil boxes for 4,500, he purchased them at the rate of:
= 4500 / 60
= 85 per pencil box
If the shopkeeper sold them at the rate of 4,125 for 50 pencil boxes, then he sold them at the rate of:
= 4125 / 50
= 82.50 per pencil box.
Therefore the percentage profit will be:
= Gain / Cost price × 100
= (82.50 - 75) / 75 × 100
= 7.5/75 × 100
= 10%
If the company performs badly, or there's a perception it does so, then the stock's value will go down and you'll lose money. The only way to earn money from stocks is if the company is able to be innovative and survive the competition. The worst case scenario is that you lose all your money if the company goes bankrupt.
To reduce the risk, you should diversify your investments so that you invest in multiple companies along multiple sectors of the economy. This spreads out the risk so that if one company fails, then its unlikely they all fail (assuming there isn't some catastrophic event in the market). Alternatively, you can invest with mutual funds or index funds to let other people/entities invest your money with a range of diverse companies.
