Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Two factors of -48... that means two numbers which multiplied together give a result of -48, like -6 and 8 for example.

The difference of those two factors is -19.  There not that many possible factors for -48, so if we list them we'll be able to spot a pair with a difference of 19.

A first list of factors for -48 is: -1 and 48, -2 and 24, -3 and 16, -4 and 12, -6 and 8.

We can create another list by inverting the signs: 1 and -48, 2 and -24, 3 and -16, 4 and -12, 6 and -8.

The question says the difference of the two factors is 19...  can you spot in each list a pair of factors having a difference of 19?   I see -3 and 16 and also 3 and -16.

The question also say the one of the greatest absolute value is positive... so that  means it's a pair with +16, not -16.

The pair of factors we're looking for is then -3 and 16. They are factors of -18, they have a difference of 19, and the one with the greatest absolute value is positive.

The sum of -3 and 16 is 13.

The marked price of an article is 30% above it's selling price and the cost price is 35%less than it's marked price. find the di
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Let C be the cost price of the article. Then:

C(1+30%)=marked price

So:

C(1+30%)=C(1.3)

=1.3C

If the article is then marked down 35%, then its’ price would be:

1.3C(1–35%)=1.3C(.65)

=0.845 or 84.5% of its’ cost

Then:

0.845–1=-0.155

or, a 15.5% loss on the item

What is the answer to 9x8 2/3
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The answer is 78. This is because you change 8 2/3 into a improper fraction which is 26/3. Then do 26/3×9/1. You should cross cancel so cancel out 3 and change it into 1 and change 9 into 3. So now your problem is 26×3=78.
