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 %

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

John spent around $53

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 3x=160

Since the "x" is already by itself on one side, divide 160 by 3

160÷3=53.333⇒

Now if that's not the way IT CAN ALSO BE:

30x3+70=160! That means John spent $90

Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the area of the region between the graph of the function x5 + 8x4 + 2x2 + 5x + 1

belka [17]

Answer:

The area of the region between the graph of the given function and the x-axis = 25,351 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x⁵ + 8 x⁴ + 2 x² + 5 x + 15

If 'f' is a continuous on [a ,b] then the function

$F(x) = \int\limits^a_b {f(x)} \, dx$

By using integration formula

$\int{x^n} \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1} }{n+1} +c$

Given x⁵ + 8 x⁴ + 2 x² + 5 x + 15 in the interval [-6,6]

$\int\limits^6_^-6} (x^{5} + 8 x^{4} + 2 x^{2} + 5 x + 15) )dx$

On integration , we get

= $(\frac{x^{6} }{6} + \frac{8 x^{5} }{5} + 2 \frac{x^{3} }{3} +\frac{5 x^{2} }{2} + 15 x)^{6} _{-6}$

$F(x) = \int\limits^a_b {f(x)} \, dx = F(b) -F(a)$

= $(\frac{6^{6} }{6} + \frac{8 6^{5} }{5} + 2 \frac{6^{3} }{3} +\frac{5 6^{2} }{2} + 15X 6) - ((\frac{(-6)^{6} }{6} + \frac{8 (-6)^{5} }{5} + 2 \frac{(-6)^{3} }{3} +\frac{5 (-6)^{2} }{2} + 15 (-6))$

After simplification and cancellation we get

= $\frac{2 X 8 X (6)^{5} }{5} + \frac{2 X 2 X (6)^3}{3} + 2 X 15 X 6$

on calculation , we get

= $\frac{124,416}{5} + \frac{864}{3} + 180$

On L.C.M 15

= $\frac{124,416 X 3 + 864 X 5 + 180 X 15}{15}$

= 25 351.2 units²

Conclusion:-

The area of the region between the graph of the given function and the x-axis = 25,351 units²
