a)A fruitseller bought 50kg of the fruits. He sold 30kg of fruits for the cost price of 35kg of fruits and he sold the remaining

alex41 [277]

<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

A fruitseller bought 50kg of the fruits. He sold 30kg of fruits for the cost price of 35kg of fruits and he sold the remaining quantity for the cost Price of 18kg of fruits. calculate his profit or loss percent in the total transaction.

<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

let the cost price be 50x

→he sells 30kg of fruits on it's CP of 35 kg

→CP of 30kg fruits = 30x

→SP of 35kg fruits = 35x

→remaing fruits are 20kg

→he sells 20kg of fruits on CP of 16kg

→CP of 20kg fruits = 20x

→SP of 20kg fruits = 16x

→total CP is = 50x

→total SP is = (35 + 16) = 51x

→SP > CP (it means profit)

→profit = SP-CP

→ 51-50

→ 1

→ Profit% = gain/CP × 100

→ Profit% = 1/50 × 100

→ 2%

Hence the fruit seller had a profit% of 2%.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=6y-5 and that passes through (5,-3). express answer in standard form

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Final answer is $x-6y=23$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=6y-5 and that passes through (5,-3).

So first we need to find the slope of given line.

rewirite x=6y-5 in y=mx+b form

x+5=6y

$\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{5}{6}=y$

Compare given equation with y=mx+b

we get: m=1/6

We know that parallel equations has equal slope.

Then slope of required line m=1/6

Now plug the given point (5,-3) and slope m=1/6 into point slope formula:

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-(-3)=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-5\right)$

$y+3=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}$

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}-3$

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{23}{6}$

Now we need to rewrite that equation in standard form. Ax+By=C.

6y=x-23

x-23=6y

x-6y=23

Hence final answer is $x-6y=23$

Which gives the prices in order, from least to greatest unit rate? Price B, Price A, Price C Price C, Price B, Price A Price C,

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Price B, Price A, Price C

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the table showing different prices for oranges.

Prices for Oranges

Price A

$2.25 for 6

Price B

$1.30 for 4

Price C

$0.97 for 2

Which gives the prices in order, from least to greatest unit rate?

Price B, Price A, Price C

Price C, Price B, Price A

Price C, Price A, Price B

Price B, Price C, Price A

Price A

$2.25 for 6

Price per orange = $2.25 / 6

= $0.375

Price B

$1.30 for 4

Price per orange = $1.30 / 4

= $0.325

Price C

$0.97 for 2

Price per orange = $0.97 / 2

= $0.485

From least to greatest unit rate

Price B , price A, price C
