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:
KL ≈ 1.94
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos48° =
=
=
( multiply both sides by KL )
KL × cos48° = 1.3 ( divide both sides by cos48° )
KL =
≈ 1.94 ( to the nearest hundredth )
The ratio 21:28 in it's simplest form is 3:4
Answer: 5.18 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The pressure exerted on the walls of a container by a gas enclosed within it is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.
Let 'p' denote the pressure exerted on the walls and 't' denotes temperature of the gas.
Then the equation is given by :-
, where c is the proportionality constant.
Also, the pressure is 6 pounds per square inch when the temperature is 440° F.

Then, the final equation to calculate pressure becomes :-

Now, the pressure exerted when the temperature of the gas is 380°F is given by :-
