Answer:
24.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of the ticket in euros is ...
£222 × €1.38/(£1) = €306.36
Then the ratio of the tax to the to the total cost is ...
€100/(€306.36 +100) = 100/406.36 ≈ 24.6%
The pattern is that each number is decreasing by half
In the given problem it is already stated that the cost of each eggs is 15 cent. Out the total eggs bought 6 were broken. The rest of the eggs were sold for 20 cents each and the profit made was $4.80.
Cost of the 6 broken eggs = (6 * 0.15)
= 0.9 cents
Let us assume that the number of eggs bought = x
Then we can write the equation as
0.2x - (0.15x - 0.9) = 4.80
0.2x - 0.15x + 0.9 = 4.80
0.05x = 4.80 - 0.9
0.05x = 3.9
x = 3.9/0.05
= 78
So the number of eggs bought by him is 78
Slope does not exist. A zero in the numerator means you have a horizontal line.
