Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

We first begin by solving for the original price of the cell phone.

if 2400 = 125%

x = 100%

By cross multplying, we get

125x = 2400 * 100

x = 240000/125

x = 1920rs

To find the profit percentage on the new sale price, we repeat another set of equations

100% = 1920

x = 2040

1920x = 2040 * 100

x = 204000/1920

x = 106.25%

His new profit percentage is 6.25%

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Angles STU and STR are supplementary angles.
Angles R and STR are congruent.

m<STU + m<STR = 180

8x + m<STR = 180

m<STR = 180 - 8x

m<R = m<STR = 180 - 8x

m<RST + m<R + m<STR = 180

7x - 54 + 180 - 8x + 180 - 8x = 180

-9x + 360 = 180

-9x = -126

x = 14
