Answer:

  20

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the x mangoes was ...

  c = 10(x/4)

The revenue from the sale of mangoes was ...

  r = 20(x-5)/5

The profit is the difference between revenue and cost:

  10 = r - c = 20(x -5)/5 -10(x/4) = 1.5x -20 . . . . substitute and simplify

  30 = 1.5x . . . . . add 20

  20 = x . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5

The trader bought 20 mangoes.

_____

<em>Check</em>

He paid 20(10/4) = 50 naira. He sold the 15 good mangoes for 20/5(15) = 60 naira, so made a 10 naira profit.

why is it not usually realistic to measure the distance between two points on a map as a straight line? explain.
aksik [14]
The map is a flat schematic of some actual distance, on a map, the distance form point A to point B may well be 10 units say, however, in actuality, if you go and walk from point A to point B, you'd notice that, first off is not a straight line most of the time, and also it may have a slanted or sloped section, and the map is not including that slope or hill, whilst you do have to walk it.

so, adding all the twists and curves along the way and any bumps or slopes, is really not exactly 10 units from A to B.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L=2W

P=2(L+W), using L=2W this becomes

P=2(2W+W)

P=2(3W)

P=6W, given P=150

6W=150

W=25, and since L=2W

L=50 so

L=50ft and W=25ft
