Step-by-step explanation and answers:
300 articles at a total cost of $1500:
$1500 / 300 = $5 / article
Sells 260 articles at a price 20% above this ^ price:
20% of $5 is $1, so $5 + $1 = $6
Then he sells 260 articles at the price of ^ $6
260 * $6 = $1560
Each of the remaining articles is sold at a price that's 50% of the 260 he sold.
He sold those for $6, so he would now sell the last 40 for $3
From the remaining 40 articles, he makes 40 * $3, or $120
The shopkeeper made $1560 + $120 = $1680, which is $180 more than he bought them for ($1500)
Therefore, he made a profit percentage of $180 / $1500, (the amount of profit over the amount spent).
He made a profit percentage, compared to the cost price, of 12%.
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 of 120 is 40
If 40 leave
People left in party=120-40=80
68 is composite it has more factors than 1 and itself

Answer:</u></h2>
The <u>algebraic expressions</u> are composed of several elements: Terms, Coefficients, Signs, Variables and Exponents. In this case we will focus on the first two.
<u>The terms</u> are composed of sign, coefficient, variable and exponent. The terms are separated from each other by the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-).
For example, in the following expression:
2x-3x
We have two terms separated by the negative sign (-):
2x is the first term
-3x is the second term
Now, <u>the coefficients</u> are the numbers that multiply the variable. <u>Note that if this coefficient is one (1) it is omitted
.</u>
For example in the following expression, the variable is x:
2x-3x+x
2 is the coefficient of x in the first term
-3 is the coefficient of x in the second term
1 is the coefficient of x in the third term, <u>but is omitted
</u>
In order to understand this in a better way, see the figure attached, where the algebraic expression is composed by one term.
