Well, the first 16 were about 16*75=$1200 extra. The last 8 were $720 lost. Thus, the total profit is $480. He bought them with $7200, which means the profit is around 6.67%.

Answer: A salesman bought 2 dozen television sets at $300 each. He sold two-thirds of them at a 25% profit but was forced to take a 30% loss on the rest. what was his total profit(or loss) on the television sets?

----

Original cost 24*300 = 7200

----

Profit: 0.25*(2/3)24*300 = 1200

---

Loss: 0.3*(1/3)24*300 = 720

----

Total profit = 1200-720 = $480

Degger [83]

Answer:

AUB = {E1, E2, E4, E6, E7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are to look for the union of the two sets, therefore we combine all the sample points that are contained in A and B without repeating any sample even if such sample occur in both sets. For example, E4 occurs in event A and B and as such will only be repeated once in the union of the two events.

AUB = {E1, E2, E4, E6, E7}

Note that the way you arrange does not matter as well.

I hope you find this solution useful?

Solve for the roots in the equation below. In your final answer, include each of the necessary steps and calculations. Hint: Use

QveST [7]

$\bf 27\implies 3^3\\\\
i^3\implies i\cdot i\cdot i\implies i^2\cdot i\implies -1\cdot i\implies -i\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
x^3-27i=0\implies x^3+3^3(-i)=0\implies x^3+(3^3i^3)=0
\\\\\\
x^3+(3i)^3=0\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{difference of cubes}
\\ \quad \\
a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\qquad
(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)= a^3+b^3\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf (x+3i)[x^2-3ix+(3i)^2]=0\implies 
\begin{cases}
x+3i=0\implies \boxed{x=-3i}\\\\
x^2-3ix+(3i)^2=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, for the second one, we'd need the quadratic formula}
\\\\\\
x^2-3ix+(3i)^2=0\implies x^2-3ix+(3^2i^2)=0
$

$\bf x^2-3ix+(-9)=0\implies x^2-3ix-9=0
\\\\\\
\textit{quadratic formula}\\\\
x= \cfrac{ - {{ b}} \pm \sqrt { {{ b}}^2 -4{{ a}}{{ c}}}}{2{{ a}}}\implies x=\cfrac{3i\pm\sqrt{(-3i)^2-4(1)(-9)}}{2(1)}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{3i\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2i^2+36}}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{3i\pm\sqrt{-9+36}}{2}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{3i\pm\sqrt{27}}{2}\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{3i\pm 3\sqrt{3}}{2}}$
