7 out of the 16 books are new, so 9 of them are used. 

7:9 is the ratio of new books to old books. 
16:9 is the ratio of all books to used books.

alina1380 [7]

TURKEY 0.15xy+20y

GOBBLE 0.20xy+0y

x is the number of texts and y is the number of months

400 texts will need to be sent each month because solving the equation 0.15xy+20y=0.20xy+0y

0.15xy+20y=0.20xy

-0.05xy+20y=0

-0.05xy=-20y

turn -0.05xy into (-y/20)x

(-y/20)x=-20y

((-y/20)x=-20y)/-y/20

x=-20y/-y/20

x=400

TURKEY plan because 0.15(500)y+20y is 95y and 0.20(500)y+0y is 100y, meaning TURKEY would be cheaper.

A retailer sold an electric item to a customer at a loss of 10 percent the customer purchase it for rs 25425 including 13, perce
Mashutka [201]

Answer: Rs 25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Retailer sold an electric iron to a customer at a loss of 10%

Suppose the Cost price of iron is x

So, selling price is 0.9x

This price must be equal to 25425+ VAT

\Rightarrow 0.9x=25425-0.13(0.9x)\\\Rightarrow 0.9x+0.117x=25425\\\Rightarrow 1.017x=25425\\\Rightarrow x=\text{Rs }25,000

Thus, the cost price is Rs.25,000

Ben is baking a cake. His recipe calls for 3/4 cups of sugar and 1/3 teaspoons of butter. How much sugar does Ben need per teasp
Alika [10]

Answer:

<em>Improper fraction is 9/4 cups, Mixed number is 2 1/4 cups</em>

<em>9/4 cups of sugar or 2 1/4 cups of sugar</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

36 tsp are in 3/4 of a cup

so you have 1/3 : 36

1/3 is less than a whole teaspoon, so the amount of sugar would be greater than 3/4 cups

1/4 cups of sugar: 1 tsp of butter; or 108 teaspoons of sugar: 1 teaspoon of butter

Hope this helps!

What is the least possible degree of a polynomial that has roots -5, 1+4i, and -4i
N76 [4]
If complex coefficients are allowed, the answer is 3.

If the polynomial must have real coefficients, then each complex root comes as a pair of complex conjugate roots.

Root -5 is real, so that is 1 root, and degree 1.

Root 1 + 4i is complex, so it must come with its complex conjugate, 1 - 4i. This adds 2 roots to the polynomial, and now we're up to degree 3.

Root -4i is also complex. It also must come with its complex conjugate, 4i. That adds two more roots, and the degree is 5.

Answer: The least possible degree is 5 with real coefficients.
