Answer:

33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of £42 is (1 +40%) times the total purchase price.

1.40 × purchase price = £42

purchase price = £42/1.40 = £30

The total profit is 40% of this, so is ...

£30 × 40% = £12

The purchase price of the skirt is ...

total cost - glove cost = skirt cost = £30 -3 = £27

The profit on the skirt is ...

total profit - glove profit = skirt profit = £12 -100% × £3 = £9

Then the percentage profit on the skirt is ...

skirt profit % = skirt profit / skirt cost × 100% = £9/£27 × 100% = 33.3%

The percentage profit on the cost of the skirt was 33.3%.

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{6{x}^{2} } = \frac{1}{2x} + \frac{7}{6 {x}^{2} } \\ \frac{7}{6 {x}^{2} } - \frac{1}{6{x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2 {x} } = 0 \: \: \: \: \: ( - \frac{1}{6 {x}^{2} } \: throughout) \\ \frac{6}{6 {x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2x} = 0 \: \: \: \: \: (simplify)\\ \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2x} = 0 \\ \frac{2 {x}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} } + \frac{2 {x}^{2} }{2x} = 0 \: \: \: \: \: ( \times 2 {x}^{2} \: throughout) \\ 2 + x = 0 \: \: \: \: \: (simplify)\\ x = - 2$
