Answer:

Rs 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the cost price of the article = x

Selling price = S.P

Cost price = C.P

Loss = %Loss × C.P(percentage loss × Cost Price)

S.P = C.P - Loss

In the question, Loss = 20%

S.P = x - 20x/100

Find the Lowest Common Multiple

S.P= 100x - 20x/100

S.P = 80x/100.........Equation 1

In the question, we are told if the article was sold for RS 160 more, it would have made a profit of 20%

Profit = %profit × C.P(percentage profit × Cost Price)

S.P = C.P + Profit

In the question, profit = 20%

S.P = x + 20x/100

Find the Lowest Common Multiple

S.P= 100x + 20x/100

S.P = 120x/100.........Equation 2

Hence,

Equation 2 - Equation 1 = Rs 160

= 120x/100 - 80x/100 = 160

= 40x/100 = 160

Cross multiply

40x = 100 × 160

40x = 16000

x = 16000/40

x = Rs 400

Since x = Cost price, the cost price of the table = Rs 400

The angle θ 1 is located in Quadrant IV, and cos ⁡ ( θ 1 ) = 9/ 19 , theta, start subscript, 1, end subscript, right parenthesis

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$sin\theta_1 = - \frac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $\theta_1$ is in <em>fourth</em> quadrant.

$cos\theta_1$ is always positive in 4th quadrant and

$sin\theta_1$ is always negative in 4th quadrant.

Also, we know the following identity about $sin\theta$ and $cos\theta$ :

$sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1$

Using \theta_1 in place of \theta:

$sin^2\theta_1 + cos^2\theta_1 = 1$

We are given that $cos\theta_1 = \frac{9}{19}$

$\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 + \dfrac{9^2}{19^2} = 1\\\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 = 1 - \dfrac{81}{361}\\\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 = \dfrac{361-81}{361}\\\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 = \dfrac{280}{361}\\\Rightarrow sin\theta_1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{280}{361}}\\\Rightarrow sin\theta_1 = +\dfrac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}, -\dfrac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}$

$\theta_1$ is in <em>4th quadrant </em>so $sin\theta_1$ is negative.

So, value of $sin\theta_1 = - \frac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}$

the maximum distance D in kilometers that you can see from a height H in meters is given by the formula d equals 3.5 times the s

Irina-Kira [14]

First put the words in an algebraic format or a model. D = 3.5(√H). Now determine what the question is asking. It's height. Plug in the value of D. Distance is 35 km.
35 = 3.5(√H) We want to get H by itself. First thing to get away from it is 3.5. So divide 35 by 3.5 And 3.5(√h) by 3.5.
10 = √H To get rid of √ do the opposite raise to the power of 2
10² = (√H)²
100 = H
You must be 100 kilometers above ground to see 35 kilometers

Which shows the expressions rewritten with the least common denominator?

baherus [9]

Answer:

D. (14x-4)/(8x^2) and (x^2-x)/(8x^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator will be 8x^2, the product of 2 and x to the highest of their powers in either of the denominators.

$\left\{\dfrac{7x-2}{4x^2},\ \dfrac{x-1}{8x}\right\}=\left\{\dfrac{7x-2}{4x^2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{2},\ \dfrac{x-1}{8x}\cdot\dfrac{x}{x}\right\}\\\\=\left\{\dfrac{14x-4}{8x^2},\ \dfrac{x^2-x}{8x^2}\right\}$
