Answer:

  2% gain

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the shopkeeper bought the appliances at the indicated prices, and that gain is computed on the basis of that cost price.

Since the base cost is the same for each appliance, the percentages can be added directly to find the percentage gain on 8000. However, the shopkeeper's total outlay was 16000, not 8000, so the final gain percentage is half of that total.

  gain percent = (-4% + 8%)/2 = 2%

_____

If you want to see the actual numbers:

  Loss on VCR = 4% × 8000 = 320.

  Gain on TV = 8% × 8000 = 640.

Total gain on 16000 is -320 +640 = 320. As a percentage, that is ...

  320/16000 × 100% = 2%

Two cooling fans are installed in some laptop computers. Suppose the reliability of each cooling fan is 0.92. What percent impro
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Reliability of each = 0.92

r = 0.92

1 - (1 - r)(1 - r) = 1 - (0.08)(0.08) = 1 - 0.0064 = 0.9936

Percentage improvement :

1 - (0.9936) / r

1 - (0.9936 / 0.92)

1 - 1.08

= - 0.08

= 0.08 / 100 = 8%

The surface area (SA) of a cube with a as the length of each of its sides is given by the formula SA=6a^2 If the surface area is
slava [35]

So to rewrite it so that we can find the side, we just need to isolate the a variable.


SA=6a^2


So firstly, divide by 6 on both sides of the equation: \frac{SA}{6} =a^2


Next, square root each side, and your answer should be \sqrt{\frac{SA}{6}} =a

Paint can be purchased in two sizes: 1 gallon for $45.99 or 1 quart for $14.99.(round to the hundredths place)a.unit ratio of 1
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

  a. $0.47 per ounce

  b. $0.36 per ounce

  c. the gallon size costs less per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.

__

<h3>a.</h3>

Unit cost for a quart:

  ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz

__

<h3>b.</h3>

Unit cost for a gallon:

  ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz

__

<h3>c.</h3>

The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.

If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.
