Mr. Ahmed sold his motorcycle to Mr. Saad at a loss of 28%. Mr.Saad spent Rs.1680 on its repairs and sold the motorcycle to Mr.
Faiz for Rs.35910, thereby making a profit of 12.5%. Find the cost price of the motorcycle for Mr. Ahmed.
1 answer:
Answer:
Rs. 42000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that Mr. Ahmed bought the bicycle for Rs. x, and sold it for Rs. y to Mr. Saad. Since he made a loss of 28%, hence:
y = x - 0.28x = 0.72x
Mr. Saad spent Rs.1680 on its repairs, therefore the total cost price of the motorcycle = 0.72x + 1680
He then sold it for Rs.35910 making a profit of 12.5%. Therefore:
0.72x + 1680 + [0.125(0.72x + 1680)] = 35910
0.81x + 1890 = 35910
0.81x = 34020
x = Rs. 42000
Therefore the cost price of the motorcycle for Mr. Ahmed is Rs. 42000

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For number 19:
"at least 150" means either 150 ≤ ? or ? ≥ 150
plus 3 so +3x
The answer would be 150 ≤ 100 + 3x
Number 20:
A is at -2.5. The inverse is the opposite so 2.5
Answer:
d = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
According the figure:
Answer Check Below:
⇒ 10 + 3 = 13
⇒ 13 + 3 = 16
⇒ 16 + 3 = 19
<h2>Therefore, d = 3.</h2>
To find the x-int., let y = 0 and solve for x: 13x = 6, so x = 6/13: (6/13, 0)
To find the y-int., let x =0 and read off the y-int: (0, -6)
This could be written as y= -2x+6 in standard form
