Question

If the CP of 15 articles equals to the SP of 12 articles, find the gain percent.

Answer:

gain percent = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question given, we will follow the steps below:

gain% = $\frac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$ × 100%

But from the question;

"CP of 15 articles equals to the SP of 12 articles", this implies that

15 c.p = 12 s.p

s.p = 15c.p / 12

s.p = $\frac{15 c.p}{12}$ = $\frac{5c.p}{4}$

s.p = $\frac{5c.p}{4}$

substitute s.p = $\frac{5c.p}{4}$ into the formula

gain% = $\frac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$ × 100%

= $\frac{\frac{5c.p}{4} - c.p }{c.p}$ × 100%

= $\frac{\frac{5c.p - 4c.p}{4} }{c.p}$ × 100%

= $\frac{c.p}{4}$ ÷ c.p × 100%

= $\frac{c.p}{4}$ × $\frac{1}{c.p}$ × 100%

= $\frac{1}{4}$ × 100%

= 25 %

soldier1979 [14.2K]

For this case we must resolve the following expression: $log_ {0.5} (16)$

We have to:

$log_ {a} (x) = \frac {log_ {b} (x)} {log_ {b} (a)}$

The base change rule can be used if a and b are greater than 1 and are not equal to x.

We substitute the values in the base change formula, using $b = 10$

$\frac {log (16)} {log (0.5)} = - 4$

Answer:

-4

Vic is standing on the ground at a point directly south of the base of the CN Tower and can see the top when looking at an angle

Sindrei [870]

The angle of elevation of 61° and 72° with the height of the tower being 553.3 m. gives Vic's distance from Dan as approximately 356 meters.

<h3>How can the distance between Vic and Dan be calculated?</h3>

Location of Vic relative to the tower = South

Vic's sight angle of elevation to the top of the tower = 61°

Dan's location with respect to the tower = West

Dan's angle of elevation in order to see the top of the tower = 72°

Height of the tower = 553.3m

$tan( \theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan( 61 ^{ \circ}) = \frac{553.3}{ Vic' s\: distance \: to \: tower}$

$distance = \frac{553.3}{tan ( {61}^{ \circ} )} = 306.7$

Vic's distance from the tower ≈ 306.7 m

Similarly, we have;

$Dan's distance = \frac{553.3}{tan ( {72}^{ \circ} )} = 179.8$

Dan's distance from the tower ≈ 179.8 m

Given that Vic and Dan are at right angles relative to the tower (Vic is on the south of the tower while Dan is at the west), by Pythagorean theorem, the distance between Vic and Dan d is found as follows;

d = √(306.7² + 179.8²) ≈ 356

Therefore;

Vic is approximately 356 meters from Dan

A company produces x units of a product per month, where c(x) represents the total cost and r(x) represents the total revenue fo

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The total profit P(x) or the month is $P(x)=-0.5x^2+500x-350$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A company produces x units of a product per month.

The total cost represents by the function C(x).

$C(x)=300x+250$

The total revenue represents by the function R(x).

$R(x)=-0.5x^2+800x-100$

The profit is the difference between revenue and cost.

$P(x)=R(x)-C(x)$

$P(x)=-0.5x^2+800x-100-(300x+250)$

$P(x)=-0.5x^2+800x-100-300x-250$

Combine like terms.

$P(x)=-0.5x^2+(800x-300x)+(-100-250)$

$P(x)=-0.5x^2+500x-350$

Therefore, the total profit P(x) or the month is $P(x)=-0.5x^2+500x-350$ .

Amanda created a table to help her represent the sample space of spinning a spinner and flipping a coin.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$\sf \dfrac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Spinner choices: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue

Coin choices: Heads, Tails

$\large\begin{array}{| c | c | c | c | c |}\cline{1-5} & \sf Red & \sf Green & \sf Yellow & \sf Blue\\\cline{1-5} \sf Heads & RH & GH &YH & BH \\\cline{1-5} \sf Tails &RT & GT& YT& BT\\\cline{1-5}\end{array}$

$\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}$

$\implies \sf P(blue)=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$\implies \sf P(heads)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\implies \sf P(blue)\:and\:P(heads)=\dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{8}$
