Answer:

\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{Rs \: 40000}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{Let \: CP \: ( \: cost \: price) \: be \: x}

\sf{Loss \: \% \:  = 5  \% \: }

\sf{Selling \: price = CP \:  -  \: loss \: \% \: of \: CP}

\mapsto{ \sf  x -  \frac{5}{100}  \times x}

\mapsto{ \sf{x -  \frac{x}{20} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{  \frac{x \times 20 - x}{20} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{20x - x}{20}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{19x}{20}}}

Now, Finding the New selling price

\sf{New \: SP \: ( \: selling \: price)} =  \frac{19x}{20}  + 5200

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{19x + 5200 \times 20}{20}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{19x + 10400}{20}}}

Finally, finding the Cost price :

We have, Profit % = 8 %

\sf{Cost \: price = Selling \: price \:  -  \: P\% \: of \: CP}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{19x + 104000}{20}  - 8\% \: of \: x}}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{19x + 104000}{20}  -  \frac{8x}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{19x + 104000}{20}  -  \frac{2x}{25} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{5(19x + 104000) - 2x \times 4}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{95x + 520000 - 8x}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{87x + 520000}{100}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{100x = 87x + 520000}} \:  \: ( \sf{Cross \: multiplication}

\mapsto{ \sf{100x - 87x = 520000}}

\mapsto{ \sf{13x = 520000}}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{520000}{13}}}

\mapsto{ \boxed {\sf{x = 40000}}}

Therefore, the cost price of the jewellery is Rs 40000

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

A car produces 53.9 tons of carbon dioxide over a 7 year period. Find its carbon footprint (tons of carbon dioxide per year).
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

carbon footprint

  7.7 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

carbon dioxide produced by a car over 7 year period = 53.5 tons

To find,

carbon footprint <em>(tons of carbon dioxide per year)</em>

7 years ------> 53.5 tons

1 year   -------> 53.9/7 tons

= 7.7 tons

tons of carbon dioxide produced per year = 7.7

If 2x + 5 = 8x, then 12x = ?A.5B.10C.15D.20
butalik [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2>10.\text{ Option B is correct}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given the equation expressed as:

2x+5=8x

First, we need to calculate the value of "x" from the given expression.

Step 1: Given the equation 2x + 5 = 8x

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides:

\begin{gathered} 2x+5-5=8x-5 \\ 2x+\cancel{5}-\cancel{5}=8x-5 \\ 2x=8x-5 \end{gathered}

Step 3: Subtract 8x from both sides

\begin{gathered} 2x-8x=8x-8x-5 \\ -6x=\cancel{8x}-\cancel{8x}-5 \\ -6x=-5 \end{gathered}

Step 4: Divide both sides by -6

\begin{gathered} \frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{-5}{-6} \\ x=\frac{5}{6} \end{gathered}

Step 5: Get the value of 12x. Substitute x = 5/6 into the expression to have:

\begin{gathered} 12x=12(\frac{5}{6}) \\ 12x=\cancel{12}^2(\frac{5}{\cancel{6}^1}) \\ 12x=2\times5 \\ 12x=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore the value of 12x is 10
