Eva has read 141 pages and Liam has read 124 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Pages read by Eva = x

Pages read by Liam = y

According to given statement;

x+y=265   Eqn 1

y=x-17   Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

x+(x-17)=265\\x+x-17=265\\2x-17=265\\2x=265+17\\2x=282

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{282}{2}\\x=141

Putting x=141 in Eqn 2

y=141-17\\y=124

Eva has read 141 pages and Liam has read 124 pages.

The terminal side of an angle, Theta, whose sine value is One-half
Kazeer [188]

Theta has a reference angle of 30° and is in Quadrant I or II.

Sin(theta) = ½

Basic angle: 30

<h3>What is the reference angle?</h3>

The acute angle between the terminal arm/terminal side and the x-axis. The reference angle is always positive. In other words, the reference angle is an angle sandwiched between the terminal side and the x-axis.

Angles: 30,

180-30 = 150

Because sin is positive in quadrants 1 and 2.

alex41 [277]
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

A fruitseller bought 50kg of the fruits. He sold 30kg of fruits for the cost price of 35kg of fruits and he sold the remaining quantity for the cost Price of 18kg of fruits. calculate his profit or loss percent in the total transaction.

<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

let the cost price be 50x

→he sells 30kg of fruits on it's CP of 35 kg

→CP of 30kg fruits = 30x

→SP of 35kg fruits = 35x

→remaing fruits are 20kg

→he sells 20kg of fruits on CP of 16kg

→CP of 20kg fruits = 20x

→SP of 20kg fruits = 16x

→total CP is = 50x

→total SP is = (35 + 16) = 51x

→SP > CP (it means profit)

→profit = SP-CP

→ 51-50

→ 1

<h2 /><h2><u>Now,</u></h2>

→ Profit% = gain/CP × 100

→ Profit% = 1/50 × 100

→ 2%

Hence the fruit seller had a profit% of 2%.
