Answer:

28% She didn't make a profit over 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

She buys the clocks for 50 pounds

She sells them for 22 + 22 + 20 = 64 pounds.

The profit is 14 pounds

What's the % profit.

Profit % = 14/50*100 = 28%

She's not quite right.

1. In a certain company, 30 percent of the men and 20 percent of the women attend night school. If 40

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: 24% of all employees attend night school.

Step-by-step explanation: If 40% of all employees are men and 30% of the men attend night school, we can multiply 0.40 by 0.30 to get the percentage of men who attend night school: 12% or 0.12. To find the number of women who attend night school, multiply 0.20 by 0.60(assuming percentage of men and women add up to 100%) to get 12%. Add 12% and 12% to get 24% of all employees attend night school.

UNO [17]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{B) 4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the properties of some of these circles to solve and find the value of x.

FIrst off - we know that to find the side of a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ (a and b being legs, c being the hypotenuse.)

<h2><u>Finding the hypotenuse</u></h2>

We also know that this triangle is in a circle. Part of the hypotenuse and the altitude of the triangle are in the circle.

Point W is the center of the circle. Therefore, any points stretching to the edge from it will be equal (since this is a circle).

With this knowledge - UW and WZ are equal.

Therefore, since UW is $x-1$ , WZ will be too.

We also know the length of VZ. We can add this to WZ to find the length of the whole hypotenuse.

$\displaystyle x-1+2 \\ x+1$

So the length of the hypotenuse, WV, is $x+1$ .

<h2><u>Finding the value of x</u></h2>

Now that we know the length of the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem like we stated before to find the value of x.

We know the two legs are $x-1$ and $2x-4$ , while the hypotenuse is

$\displaystyle (x-1)^2 + (2x-4)^2 = (x+1)^2$
$(x^2 - 2x + 1) + (4x^2-16x+16) = (x^2 + 2x + 1)$ (use FOIL to find the value of each expression squared)
$5x^2 - 18x + 17 = x^2 + 2x + 1$ (simplify the left side)
$4x^2 -20x + 16 = 0$ (subtract both sides by $x^2 +2x + 1$ )
$x = \frac{{ -b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}$ (Quadratic formula)
$\frac{{ -(-20) \pm \sqrt {(-20)^2 - 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 16} }}{{2 \cdot 4}}$ (plug in values from equation)
$\frac{{ 20 \pm \sqrt {400 - 256} }}{8}}$ (simplify)
$\frac{{ 20 \pm \sqrt {144} }}{8}}$ (simplify)
$\frac{{ 20 \pm 12 }}{8}}$ (simplify)
$\displaystyle x = \frac{20+12}{8} \ \text{and} \ \frac{20-12}{8}$ (use plus/minus to find two roots)
$\displaystyle x = \frac{32}{8} \ \text{and} \ \frac{8}{8}$ (simplify)
$\displaystyle x = 4 \ \text{and} \ 1$

1 can not be a possible answer because UW would end up being $(1-1) = 0$ units long! This isn't possible!

Therefore, the correct answer would be B) 4.

Hope this helped!
