I got you! What’s the question
Answer:
2% gain
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the shopkeeper bought the appliances at the indicated prices, and that gain is computed on the basis of that cost price.
Since the base cost is the same for each appliance, the percentages can be added directly to find the percentage gain on 8000. However, the shopkeeper's total outlay was 16000, not 8000, so the final gain percentage is half of that total.
gain percent = (-4% + 8%)/2 = 2%
_____
If you want to see the actual numbers:
Loss on VCR = 4% × 8000 = 320.
Gain on TV = 8% × 8000 = 640.
Total gain on 16000 is -320 +640 = 320. As a percentage, that is ...
320/16000 × 100% = 2%
170 divided by 80 is 2.125, so 80 goes in 170, 2.125 times
Answer:
b. -3
Step-by-step explanation:
9(2x+1) < 9x-18
(distribute the 9)
18x+9 <9x-18
(subtract 9 from both sides)
18x<9x-27
(subtract 9x from both sides)
9x<-27
(divide both sides by 9)
x<-3
