Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped.
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
I believe it is false because it only passes through the y-axis not the x-axis.
Answer:
mp=2800
mp=cp+40%ofcp=cp+40/100×cp=1.4cp
2800=1.4çp
cp=2800/1.4=2000
discount=20%
profit%=?
Step-by-step explanation:
sp=mp-discount%of mp=2800-20/100×2800=2240
profit=sp-cp=2240-2000=240
profit%=profit/cp×100%=240/2000×100%=12%
