The answer to this question is 21
Remark
Whatever the original price, he gets 70% in the first instance.
He gets 80% in the second instance.
He gets 90% in the third instance
His total income is 240 dollars.
Let the original price be x
Equation
70%x + 80%x +90%x = 240
70% = 0.7 ; 80% = 0.8 ;90% = 0.9
Solution
0.7x + 0.8x + 0.9x = 240 Take out x as a common factor and add the decimals.
x (0.7 + 0.8 + 0.9) = 240
2.4x = 240 Divide both sides by 2.4
x = 240/2.4
x = 100
So the watches should have brought in 3*100 = 300 dollars.
He only brought in 240 dollars.
He lost 300 - 240 = 60 dollars.
The answer is B.
Answer:
We have 85.3 - 80.1 = 5.2 and 90.5 - 85.3 = 5.2;
So, the next two likely terms are: 90.5 + 5.2 = 95.7 and 95.7 + 5.2 = 100.9;
Step-by-step explanation:
For number 1 A: 2,8 B: 1,3 C: 6,6 D: 4,0 E: 8,2 for number 2 A: 7,9 B: 9,7 C: 0,6 D: 3,8 E: 7,5
Answer:
the force that must be applied by the driver to release the clutch is 21 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided:
clutch linkage on a vehicle has an overall advantage = 24:1
Applied force by the pressure plate = 504 lb
Now,
the advantage ratio is given as:
advantage ratio = 
on substituting the respective values, we get
= 
or
Force applied by the driver to release the clutch = 
or
Force applied by the driver to release the clutch = 21 lb
Hence,
the force that must be applied by the driver to release the clutch is 21 lb
