Step-by-step explanation and answers:
300 articles at a total cost of $1500:
$1500 / 300 = $5 / article
Sells 260 articles at a price 20% above this ^ price:
20% of $5 is $1, so $5 + $1 = $6
Then he sells 260 articles at the price of ^ $6
260 * $6 = $1560
Each of the remaining articles is sold at a price that's 50% of the 260 he sold.
He sold those for $6, so he would now sell the last 40 for $3
From the remaining 40 articles, he makes 40 * $3, or $120
The shopkeeper made $1560 + $120 = $1680, which is $180 more than he bought them for ($1500)
Therefore, he made a profit percentage of $180 / $1500, (the amount of profit over the amount spent).
He made a profit percentage, compared to the cost price, of 12%.
Answer:
$12,415.48
Step-by-step explanation:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)
where A is the final amount,
P is the initial amount,
r is the annual interest rate as a decimal,
n is the number of compoundings per year,
and t is the number of years.
A = 8000 (1 + 0.152/2)^(2×3)
A = 8000 (1.076)^6
A = 12415.48

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) x = (a+c)/b
2) The equation is correct no matter what value x takes.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) a−(a+b)x=(b−a)x−(c+bx)
<=> a - ax - bx = bx - ax - c - bx
<=> a - ax - bx - (bx - ax - c - bx) = 0
<=> a - ax - bx - bx + ax + c + bx = 0
<=> a - ax + ax - bx - bx + bx + c = 0
<=> a - bx + c = 0
<=> bx = a + c
If b ≠ 0, x = (a+c)/b
2) 2(3x−5a)+9(2a−7b)+3(5a−2x)=0
<=> 2×3x + 2×(-5a) + 9×2a + 9× (-7b) + 3×5a + 3×(-2x) = 0
<=> 6x -10a + 18a - 63b + 15a - 6x = 0
<=> (6x - 6x) + (15a - 10a + 18a) - 63b = 0
<=> 23a - 63b = 0
<=> 23a = 63b
=> a = 63b/23
with all values of x, the equation is correct.
