First off, "whatever%" of "anything" is just (whatever/100) * anything
part A)
so... firm A got 11,000 invested, turned a profit of 24%, how much is 24% of 11000? well (24/100) * 11000
firm B got 14,000 invested, and returned 15% in profits, how much is 15% of 14000? (15/100) * 14000
part B)
for the amounts above, we get 2640 and 2100 respectively
so, the total profit "amount" is 2640 + 2100 or 4740
the total investement was 11000+14000 = 25000
if 25000 is the 100%, how much is 4740 in percentage?

solve for "x"
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2log(x-3)=log25
log(x-3)²=log25 cancel out log on both sides
(x-3)²=25
x²-6x+9=25
x²-6x+9-25=0
x²-6x-16=0 factorize
x²+2x-8x-16=0
x(x+2)-8(x+2)
(x-8)(x+2)=0
x-8=0 or x+2=0
x=8 or x=-2
x=-2 cannot be considered because of the -ve sign.
x=8.
check
2log(x-3)
2log(8-3)
2log5
log5²=25
therefore LHS=RHS
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be x and x + 4 as their deference is 4.
their sum = 50
now,
→ x + x + 4 = 50
→ 2x + 4 = 50
→ 2x = 50 - 4 = 46
→ x = 46/2 = 23
therefore two numbers are,
x = 23
x + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27
hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
Hi there!

Work out the parenthesis.

Combine like terms.

Subtract 9 from both sides.

Subtract 4x from both sides

Divide both sides by -9
