Bobby bought two shares of stock, which he sold for $96 each. If he had a profit of 20 percent on the sale of one of the shares

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The correct option is c) a loss of $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

If the selling price of two item is same and one item sold at a profit of x % and other at a loss of x % in that case total sale result loss:

To calculate the loss use the formula: $Loss\ \%=(\frac{x}{10})^2\ \%$

It is given that he had a profit of 20 percent on the sale of one of the shares but a loss of 20 percent on the sale of the other share, where the selling price is $96 each.

That means the total sale result will be a loss.

Now use the above formula by substitute x=20.

$Loss\ \%=(\frac{20}{10})^2\ \%\\\\Loss\ \%=4\ \%$

It is given that the sales price is $96 of each that means total sales price is:

$96+$96=$192

Let the cost price of the shares were x.

According to question: x-4% of x = 192

$x-\frac{4}{100}\times x = 192\\\\x-0.04x = 192\\\\0.96x = 192\\x = 200$

Hence, the cost price of the shares was 200.

Loss = Cost price -Sales price

Loss = $200 - $192

Loss = $8

Hence, the correct option is c) a loss of $8.

A store charges 5.5 % sales tax on all items. If an item costs d dollars before tax, which expression represents the total cost

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: d + 0.055d or 1.055d

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of item = d

Sales tax percent = 5.5%

Total cost = Cost of item + Sales tax

= d + (5.5% × d)

= d + (5.5/100 × d)

= d + (0.055 × d)

= d + 0.055d

= 1.055d

Therefore, the expression that represents the total cost of the item, in dollars and cents, after tax will be:

d + 0.055d or 1.055d.

What is x/9 = 9/27 help plz

Irina18 [472]

<h3>QUESTION: </h3>

what is x/9 = 9/27 help plz

<h3>ANSWER AND SOLUTION: </h3>

SOLVING FOR X

Reduce first the fraction with 9

$\large \sf = \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{ \cancel9}{ \cancel{27}}$

 $\large \sf = \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{1}{3}$ 

Now simplify using cross-multiply

 $\large \sf = \dfrac{3x}{9} = 1$ 

 $\large \sf = 3x = 1 \times 9$ 

 $\large \sf = 3x = 9$ 

Lastly divide both sides

 $\large \sf = 3x \div 3 = 9 \div 3$ 

 $\large \sf = x = 9 \div 3$ 

 $\large \sf = x = 3$ 

<h3>FINAL ANSWER:</h3>

$\huge \orange{ \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 3}}}}$

HOPE THIS HELP YOU! HAVE A NICE DAY!

Multiply (5x2 + x − 4)(x + 2).

Trava [24]

(x + 2)(5x^2 + x - 4) =
x(5x^2 + x - 4) + 2(5x^2 + x - 4) =
5x^3 + x^2 - 4x + 10x^2 + 2x - 8 =
5x^3 + 11x^2 - 2x - 8 <===
