Answer:

x = Rs 20,833.33

the value of x is Rs 20,833.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y and z represent the price of the item initially, after one month and after two months respectively.

Given that;

after one month its label price is reduced by 20%

y = x - 20% of x

y = x - 0.20x

y = 0.80x ........1

after 2 months its reduced price is further reduced by 10% and then sold it for Rs 15000.

z = y - 10% of y

z = y - 0.10y

z = 0.90y ........2

Substituting equation 1 into 2;

z = 0.90(0.80x)

z = 0.72x

Also z = Rs 15000

So,

z = 0.72x = Rs 15000

0.72x = Rs 15000

x = Rs 15000/0.72

x = Rs 20833.33333333

x = Rs 20,833.33

the value of x is Rs 20,833.33

Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center that passes through the given point
Kitty [74]
Circle equation
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Since radius isn't given use the center and point, with the distance formula, to find the radius.
D=sqrt((x2-x2)^2+)y2-y1)^2)
D=sqrt((1-0)^2+(2-6)^2
D=sqrt(1+16)
D=sqrt 17
radius = sqrt 17
(h, k) is the center and r is the radius
(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 17
