Let selling price = SP and cost price = CP

He makes 20 % on selling price means = >

(sp-cp) / sp = 20 % = 20/100 = 0.2

(sp - cp) / sp = 0.2

1 - cp/sp = 0.2

1 - 0.2 = cp/sp

0.8 = cp/sp

Reversing 1 / 0.8 = sp/cp = 1.25

We need to find profit on cost price means =

=(sp-cp)/ cp

= sp/cp - 1 = 1.25 - 1 = 0.25

Means 25 % profit on cost price : Answer

Hope that will help :)

The altitude of a triangle is 1cm shorter than the base. If the area of the triangle is 15cm2, calculate the altitude.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We khow that the altitude of this triangle is 1cm shorter than the base

  • Let H be our altitude and B our base and A the area of the triangle
  • A= (B*H)/2 ⇒ 15=(B*H)/2
  • H is 1cm shorter than B ⇒ B=H+1
  • H*(H+1)/2=15 ⇒ H*(H+1)=30⇒ H²+H=30⇒H²+H-30+0

that's a quadratic equation . Let's calculate the dicriminant .

Let Δ be the dicriminant

  • a=1
  • b=1
  • c= -30
  • Δ=b²-4*a*c = 1²-4*1*(-30)=1+4*30=121≥0
  • Δ≥0⇔ that we have two solutions x and y
  • x= (-1-\sqrt{121})/2= (-1-11)/2= -6
  • y= (-1+\sqrt{121})/2= 10/2 = 5

We have a negative value and a positive one

The altitude is a distance so it can't be negative

H= 5cm
