Answer:

18.18% of employees rode the bus to work last year

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Last year, a proportion of x employees riding the bus was 100% = 1.

This year, 20% = 0.2 ride the bus, which is 100 + 10 = 110% = 1.1 of last year.

So

0.2 - 1.1

x - 1

1.1x = 0.2

x = \frac{0.2}{1.1}

x = 0.1818

0.1818*100 = 18.18%

18.18% of employees rode the bus to work last year

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9 - 7x = (4x - 3)² + 5 ← expand the squared factor

9 - 7x = 16x² - 24x + 9 + 5, that is

9 - 7x = 16x² - 24x + 14 ( subtract 9 - 7x from both sides )

0 = 16x² - 17x + 5, that is

16x² - 17x + 5 = 0 ← in standard form → D

Answer:

  ₹14000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the cost price, and m represent the marked price.

  c × (1 +40%) = m

  m × (1 -15%) - c = ₹1900

Using the first expression for m, the second equation becomes ...

  1.40c×0.85 -c = ₹1900

  0.19c = ₹1900

  c = ₹1900/0.19 = ₹10000

Then the marked price was ...

  m = 1.40c = 1.40×₹10000 = ₹14000

The marked price was ₹14000.

_____

The selling price was ₹11900.
