Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{DC}{DU}$ = $\frac{CB}{UT}$ , substitute values

$\frac{11x-13}{60}$ = $\frac{169}{78}$ ( cross- multiply )

78(11x - 13) = 10140 ( divide both sides by 78 )

11x - 13 = 130 ( add 13 to both sides )

11x = 143 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 13

Please help me :'( 25 points!

likoan [24]

Answer:

$15,339

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 0.5x² − 100x + 20,339

Since this is a parabola, the minimum cost is at the vertex:

x = -b / (2a)

x = -(-100) / (2 × 0.5)

x = 100

So the minimum cost is:

C(100) = 0.5(100)² − 100(100) + 20,339

C(100) = 15,339

Emily purchased lemons for $600. She sold 3/4 of these at a loss of 20% and the remaining at a gain of 20%. How much percent doe

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: CP of lemon is $600.

3/4 of lemon sold at 20% loss

Remaining lemon at 20% gain.

Considering the quantity of lemon remain constant.

Cost price of 3/4 of lemon= $\frac{3}{4} \times 600= \$450$

As given, 3/4 of lemon sold at 20% loss.

∴ Selling price of $\frac{3}{4}\ of\ lemon= 450- \frac{20}{100}\times 450$

Selling price= $450- 90= \$ 360$

Hence, selling price of 3/4 lemon is $360.

Now, the cost price of remaining lemon $(1-\frac{3}{4} )= (\$ 600-\$ 450)$

∴ The cost price of $\frac{1}{4}\ lemon = \$ 150$

As given, remaining $\frac{1}{4} lemon\ sold\ at\ gain\ of\ 20\%$

∴ Selling price of $\frac{1}{4} \ lemon= (150\times \frac{20}{100}+150)$

Selling price of $\frac{1}{4} \ of\ lemon= (30+150)$

Hence, selling price of 1/4 lemon is $180

Loss\profit percent= $\frac{(SP-CP)}{CP} \times 100$

∴ Loss\profit percent= $\frac{60}{600} \times 100= 10\%$

Hence, the loss percentage is 10%
