Answer:

(1) C

(2) D

(3) B

(4) B

(5) C

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) % decrease = change in price/initial price × 100 = (25 -20)/25 × 100 = 5/25 × 100 = 20

(2) Number of correct answers he answered in the second test = 150 + (30/100 × 150) = 150 + 45 = 195

(3) Let the number be y

3(y + 2) = 24

y + 2 = 24/3 = 8

y + 2 = 8

y = 8 - 2 = 6

(4) Let my father's age be f, my brother's age be b and my age be m

From the first statement

f/5 = b/3 ----- eqn (1)

From the second statement

b = m + 3 ----- eqn (2)

From the third statement

f = 2m - 3 ------ eqn (3)

Substitute the expression of b and f in eqn 2 & 3 into eqn 1

(2m - 3)/5 = (m + 3)/3

3(2m - 3) = 5(m + 3)

6m - 9 = 5m + 15

6m - 5m = 15 + 9

m = 24

Substitute the value of m into eqn 3

f = 2m - 3 = 2(24) - 3 = 48 - 3 = 45

(5) (x - 2)/4 - (3x + 5)/7 = -3

The LCM of 4 and 7 is 28

Multiply each term in the equation by 28

7(x - 2) -4(3x + 5) = -3(28)

7x - 14 - 12x - 20 = -84

-5x - 34 = -84

-5x = -84 + 34

-5x = -50

x = -50/-5 = 10

A retailer was given a trade discount are 15% and cash discount of 6% by the wholesaler. How much did the retailer pay for a goo

<h3>Answer: $2992.26</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

If you're given a 15% discount, then you still have to pay the remaining 85% (because 100% - 15% = 85%)

Rewrite 85% into 0.85

The multiplier for "15% discount" is 0.85

Similarly, the multiplier for a 6% discount is 0.94; note how 100% - 6% = 94% = 0.94

When we have multiple discounts chained together like this we find the product of the multipliers. So we multiply the 0.85 and 0.94 to get

0.85*0.94 = 0.799

After chaining together the two discounts, you will have to pay 79.9% of the original value. This means the overall discount is 20.1%

Take the result of 0.799 and multiply that with the marketed price of $3745 to get the final answer

0.799*3745 = 2,992.255 which rounds to 2,992.26

Answer:

Q2. Original 100%

New Selling price=100% - 25% = 75% of original

Sale price of bracelet= 75/100 × 44 = $33

Q3. 100%- 25%= 75%

Cost of table= 75/100 × 425= $318.75

Alternatively,

Discount= 25/100 × 425 = $106.25

Cost of table= $425- $106.25= $318.75

Q4. 10 cans ---- $4

1 can= 4÷10 = $0.40

15 cans= $0.40 ×15 = $6

Q5. Total number of children= 35+5= 40

Total people= 10+40 = 50

Thus, the ratio is 40:50= 4:5 (<em>divide by 10</em>)
