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

5. Here are two copies of the same figure. Show two different ways for
dedylja [7]

The two different ways of finding the area are,
Case 1 = assume horizontal rectangles,
Case 2 = assume vertical rectangles.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

the rectangle is a four-sided polygon whose opposites sides are equal and has an angle of 90° between its sides.

Here,

case 1,
As shown in the image
Area = sum of horizontal rectangles
Area = 10 * 3 + 2 * 5 + 2 * 1
Area  = 30 + 10 + 2
Area = 42    

Case II,
As shown in right figure,
Area of the vertical rectangles
Area = 3 * 5 + 5 * 3 + 2 * 6
Area = 15 + 15 + 12
Area = 42
Here, the area in case 1 is equal to case 2.

Thus, the two different ways of finding the area have shown above.

A butcher purchases 50 chicks at the rate of Ts.60 per chick.10 of them died and he sold remaining chicks at the rate of Rs.80 p
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

50 chicks were purchased at Rs. 60. The total cost of the chicks is:

= 50 * 60

= Rs. 3,000

10 of the chicks died which means the farmer was left with 40 chicks.

These chicks are sold at Rs. 80. Total revenue from the sales are:

= 40 chicks * 80

= Rs. 3,200

The profit is:

= 3,200 - 3,000

= Rs. 200

The percentage is:

= Profit / Revenue

= 200 / 3,200

= 6.25%
