We can bring the ratios to a similar form, because 2:5 is the same as 4:10 (we can mupltiply rations by the same number)
so one ratio is 4:10 and the other is 4:15 and the difference is is 75 beads
in this ratio, we can see each number corresponding to a "unit" of beads: that means that what changed is that Patricia now has 5 more such groups (15-10=5), and since she has 75 beads more each unit must be 75/5=15.
so afterwards (and before) Karen had 4 such units, that is 60, and Patricia before had 10 such units, that is 150.
Profit made by jeweler from buying and reselling ounces of gold is 140.89 per ounce
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that
Price at which jeweler buy gold = 1235.55 per ounce
Price at which jeweler resells gold = 1376.44 per ounce
We need to calculate profit.
Buying price of 1 ounce of gold = 1235.55
Reselling price of 1 ounce of gold = 1376.44
<em>Profit = Reselling price – buying price</em>
So profit on 1 ounce of gold = 1376.44 – 1235.55 = 140.89
Hence profit made by Buying and Selling gold will be 140.89 per ounce
