Let us suppose the number is x. Now we try to make an algebraic expression going step by step.
Step 1:
Five times the number means 5 multiplied by x.
So it becomes 5x.
Step 2:
Sum of 14 and five times the number means 5x+14.
Step 3:
Number multiplied by -8 means -8x.
Step 4:
Subtract the expression in step (3) from expression in step (2)
5x+14-(-8x)
Now we can simplify it further,
5x+14+8x
Combining like terms,
13x+14
Answer: The final expression becomes 13x+14.
so x=5
substituting for x in the equation we get:
Ans C: 16
Answer:
Team A: 25 players
Team B: 24 players
Step-by-step explanation:
Team A:
to find the total # of players of the team we need to set up a fraction. 5 out out of an unknown number of players is equal to 1/5, so we set it up as:
then we cross multiply to get
x*1 = 5*5
x=25 players
Team B
similarly to Team A
cross multiply to get
x*1=3*8
x= 24 players
Answer:
The cost of bicycle is Rs1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of bicycle
Total profit gained by the shopkeeper by selling at labelled price = 20%
Suppose he sell the bicycles at at 5% discount
Which means that the total profit he learn after discount will be:
20% -5% = 15%
The shopkeeper earns a profit of 15% if he sells at discount.
Profit gained by shopkeeper is:
15% of x = 15/100 · x
15% of x = 0.15x
Thus the profit gained will be 0.15x. As profit gained is equal to 150, we can say that
0.15x = 150
x = 1000
The cost of bicycle is Rs1000
