Answer:

-20%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to Harry bought a quantity of fruit.

He sold half, that is 50% but I earn 60%, that is to say that here he made 10% of profits.

Then he sold 1/4 of the total, that is 25% but he took 20% of profits, that is to say that in this case he obtained 5% of losses.

They tell us that the rest was spoiled, that is, 100 - 50 - 25 = 25% was spoiled, and all that is lost, in the end the balance is as follows:

10% - 5% - 25% = -20%

That is to say that in general it lost 20% of the total.

Answer: 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be "4x".

60% gain on 1/2 of them will be:

(1.60 × 2x) = 3.2x - 2x = 1.2x

20% gain on (1/4) of them will be:

(1.2 × x) = 1.2x - x= 0.2x

Total gain 1.2x + 0.2x = 1.4x

Total gain percent= Gain/Original price =1.4x/4x = 0.35 = 35%

The two answers are 23 and 47. You would subtract 24 from 70 then divide by 2 which would equal 23 then add the 24 back to it which is 47. 23 plus 47 equals 70.

Answer:

Vertical angles

Step-by-step explanation:

: If two angles are vertical angles, then they're congruent (see the above figure). Vertical angles are one of the most frequently used things in proofs and other types of geometry problems, and they're one of the easiest things to spot in a diagram. Don't neglect to check for them!
