Answer:

  • 35%

Explanation:

<u>1. Cost of each liter of yellow paint:</u>

Yellow paint is sold in 5 litre tins and ach tin costs £26, thus the cost of one liter is £26 / 5 liters = £5.2 per liter.

<u>2. Cost of each liter of blue paint:</u>

Blue paint is sold in 10 litre tins and each tin costs £48, thus the cost of one liter of blue paint is £48 / 10 liters = £4.8 per liter

<u>3. Cost of each liter of green paint.</u>

Green paint is made by mixing yellow paint and blue paint in the ratio 2:3

Thus, 5 liters of green paint will cost:

2 liters yellow paint: 2 liter × £5.2 / liter = £10.4

3 liters blue paint:     3 liter × £4.8 / liter = £14.4

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

5 liters green paint:   5 liter                        £24.8

Cost of one liter of gree paint: £24.8 / 5 liter = £4.96 / liter

<u>4. Profit</u>

Price of each liter of green paint: £66.96 / 10 liters = £6.696 / liter = £6.70 / liter

Profit per liter = price per liter - cost per liter = £6.70/liter - £4.96 / liter = £1.74 / liter

Percentage profit = profit per liter / cost per liter × 100

Percentage profit = (£1.74 / liter) / (£4.96/liter) × 100 =  35.08% = 35%

Số tiếp theo (next number?): 25 50 99 196 388
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 768.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is based on a specific pattern present in between the numbers in the given series -

Series = 25 50 99 196 388

to find - next number in series

let us find the relation between the initial two number:

25 - 50, here number 50 is two times of 25 or (x*2-0)

relation between 2nd and 3rd number:

50 - 99, here 99 is two times of 50 minus 1 or (x*2-1)

relation between 3rd and 4th number:

99 - 196, here 196 is two times of 99 minus 2 or (x*2-2)

relation between 4th and 5th number:

196 - 388, here 388 is the two times of 196 minus 4 or (x*2-4)

So on this pattern, the next number would be = x*2-8

388*2-8

= 768

b.  Dylan's proposed placement will light a greater area than Nikki's placement.

c.  Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.

d. Nikki's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.

e. Dylan's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.

f.  Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.

g. Nikki's proposed placement will light less than half of the yard.

Answer:

C) Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.

F) Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2, and both lights illuminate the same base and height = (60 x 38) / 2 = 1,140 sq ft

Both Dylan's and Nikki's proposed placement will lit exactly half of the yard. The yard's total area = 60 x 38 = 2,280 sq ft, which is twice the area lit by the lights.

I would say 19.
If you take out the 6s and just look at the rest you have 4, 9, 14.
It is adding 5 each time and just have a 6 between each one.
So logically I would say 19.
