Add one set of parenthesis to make the following equation true 25 - 8 - 2 = 19

1 answer:

7 0

An easy way to do this is to do trial and error.

All possible places to put the bracket:

a) (25 - 8) - 2 = 19 But since BEDMAS goes from left to right with Addition and Subtraction, the equation is unaffected.
b) 25 - (8 - 2) = 19
25 - 6 = 19

Therefore b) is correct.

A man sells a sofa for rs 3210 making a profit of 7% what would have been his profit percent if he had sold it for rs 3360?

Digiron [165]

Let x be the original cost for the sofa.
X x (1 + 0.07) =3210
X = 3000
Now we know the cost for the sofa.
Let p be the profit percent.
3000 x (1 + p) = 3360
P = 0.12
So the percentage profit is 12%
