Answer: $6.50

Justification:

Work backward step by step.

1) Total bill: $125 given

2) Value of five scarves: multiply the number of scarves time the unit price

 5 * $12.00 = $ 60.00

3) Value of the socks: subtract the value of the scarves from the total bill

$ 125 - $ 60 = $65

4) divide $65 by the total number of pair of socks

If each bought two pairs, the total number of pairs is 5 * 2 = 10

So, the price of one pair is $65 / 10 = $6.50

Now,  you can verify:

- two pairs of socks each sister * 5 sisters = 10 pairs

- 10 pairs of socks at $6.50 each = 10*$6.50 = $ 65

- Five scarves at $ 12 each = 5 * $12 = $ 60

- Total bill = $ 65 + $ 60 = $ 125 => check.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of car P = $27,500

Decrease rate r = 15% = 0.15

Final amount A = $1,254

Find:

Time taken n

Computation:

A = P[1-r]ⁿ

1,254 = 27,500[1-0.15]ⁿ

0.0456 = [0.85]ⁿ

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)

a woman 1.65. tall stood 50m away from the foot of a tower,and observe that the angle of elevation of the top of the tower to be
ElenaW [278]

\sf\huge\underline{\star Solution:-}

\rightarrowLet the women's height be AE and distance between the women and tower be AC.

Also let the height of tower be BC.

\rightarrowNow, clearly it is forming a triangle.

So, in triangle ABC,

\rightarrow\sf{Tan50° \:= \: \frac{BC}{AC}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 \:= \: \frac{BC}{50}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 ×50\:= \: BC}

\rightarrow\sf{59.5m\:= \: BC}

\rightarrowHence, BC = 59.5m

So, BD(total height of the tower)\sf{ = \:BC+CD}

\sf{= \:59.5+1.65}

\sf{=\: 61.15m}

Therefore, total height of the tower =\sf\purple{ 61.15m.}
