Answer:

Shopkeepers gain just by weighing is 22.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Assume that the shopkeeper bought x units of goods i.e. actual weight of goods.

As the balance used to buy goods weighs 10% more, he actually bought x×110100=1.1x weight units i.e. although the shopkeeper paid for x units, he actually bought 1.1x units by weight.

Now he has 1.1x units of goods, but for selling he uses another balance, which actually measures 10% less i.e. 1−0.10=0.9 units for each unit weight of goods sold.

So while selling 1.1x becomes 1.1x0.90=1.2222... units.

Hence, shopkeepers gain just by weighing is 22.22%

find the value of the polygon. the polygon has 6 interior angles 2 of them are y and 4 of them are (2Y-20)
Anna35 [415]
First we need to determine what the 6 angles must add to. Turns out we use this formula

S = 180(n-2)

where S is the sum of the angles (result of adding them all up) and n is the number of sides. In this case, n = 6. So let's plug that in to get

S = 180(n-2)
S = 180(6-2)
S = 180(4)
S = 720

The six angles, whatever they are individually, add to 720 degrees. The six angles are y, y, 2y-20, 2y-20,  2y-20,  2y-20, <span> 

They add up and must be equal to 720, so let's set up the equation to get...

(y)+(y)+(</span>2y-20)+(2y-20)+(2y-20)+(<span>2y-20) = 720

Let's solve for y

</span>y+y+2y-20+2y-20+2y-20+2y-20 = 720

10y-80 = 720

10y-80+80 = 720+80

<span>10y = 800
</span>
10y/10 = 800/10

y = 80

Now that we know the value of y, we can figure out the six angles

angle1 = y = 80 degrees
<span>angle2 = y = 80 degrees
</span><span>angle3 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 = 140 degrees
</span>angle4 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 =<span> 140 degrees
</span><span>angle5 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 = 140 degrees
</span>angle6 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 =<span> 140 degrees
</span>
and that's all there is to it

Can someone please help me on this one
likoan [24]

You know vertical Angles SRU and TRV are congruent.

You are given that Sides UR and VR are congruent.

You are given that Angles SUT and SVT are congruent.

An appropriate choice is the ASA postulate, since you have congruent angles with congruent sides in between.
