Answer:\frac{140}{3} weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes 14 weeks to empty a lake

also it takes 20 weeks for a river to fill the lake

Part of lake empty in 1 week =\frac{1}{14}

Part of lake filled in 1 week is =\frac{1}{20}

And if both works simultaneously then

\frac{1}{14}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{10-7}{140}

=\frac{3}{140}

therefore it takes \frac{140}{3} weeks to fill it

5 p increased by 25% is equal to q decreased by 25%. Work out p as a percentage of q.​
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The answer is no it will be less here's why let say the original amount is A then a p% increase will be A(1+p/100))

Now from this amount we decrease it by p% this gives A(1+p/100)(1-p/100). We can simplify this expression some by letting x=p/100 then we have A(1+x)(1-x) but this is equal to A(1-x2). You can see that the value of what's inside the () is always <1 as long as x>0. If we calculate how much the amount changes we have A(1-x2)-A=-Ax2 is always a loss.

         This is one of the reasons some people lose money in the stock market. If a stock rises 10% and then drops 10% you have actually lost money but it sounds, on the face of it, like you should be even. +10 and -10 percent.

          If we now do the calculation for the 25% up and down we have the final amount is is .9375 which is 1.25*.75. and the change is .9375-1=-.0625. So the net result is down 6.25%

The original price of a camera is $150. If a discount of 30% is given, what is the discounted price of the camera?
MArishka [77]
So, 30% is 0.30, but since you are taking off 30%, you are going to have 70% of the price which is 0.70. The word "of" lets you know that you are going to multiply. So, what you do is 150•0.70=105. The discounted price is $105
