Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tiles in the design is 1 + 2 + 3 + ...

We can model this as an arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common difference is 1.  The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is:

S = n/2 (2a₁ + d (n − 1))

Given that a₁ = 1 and d = 1:

S = n/2 (2(1) + n − 1)

S = n/2 (n + 1)

Since S ≤ 60:

n/2 (n + 1) ≤ 60

n (n + 1) ≤ 120

n must be an integer, so from trial and error:

n ≤ 10

Mr. Tong should use 10 tiles in the final row to use the most tiles possible.

ahrayia [7]

Given :

Mo spends £15 on ingredients to make 40 cookies.

He sells all 40 cookies for 50p each.

To Find :

The Mo's percentage profit.

Solution :

We know, 1 £ = 66.09 p.

So, total income is :

T = 40 × 50 p

T = 2000 p

T = £2000/66.09  

T = £30.26

So, total profit is, P = £( 30.26 - 15 ) = £15.26 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
