Which numbers are the extremes of the proportion shown below

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

3 and 8 are the extremes of the given proportion (first listed answer option)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a proportion of the type:

\frac{A}{B} =\frac{C}{D}

the values "A" and "D" are called "extremes of the proportion, while "B" and "C" are called the "means" of the proportion.

This comes from writing it as:   A : B = C : D

where we observe that A and D are the more "extreme" values being further away from the equal sign than the quantities B and C which are more towards the middle (center of the proportion).

So in your case, the numbers 3 and 8 are the extremes

9. An article was sold at a profit of 12%. Had it been sold for Nu 80 more, there would be a profit of
Kamila [148]

Answer:

<em>The cost price of the article was Nu 1,000</em>

<em>The original selling price was Nu 1,120</em>

<em>The second selling price was Nu 1,200</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call:

x = Original selling price of the article

y = Cost of the article

The first condition implies that the difference between the selling price and the cost price (the profit) is 12%. Recall the profit % is always calculated with respect to the cost, that is, the profit at the first condition is:

0.12y = Original profit

Setting up the equation, we have:

x-y=0.12y

The second condition states the selling price is 80 Nu more than before, that is:

x+80= Second selling price of the article

y = Cost of the article (it doesn't change)

The profit of this condition is 20%, thus:

0.2y = Second profit

This produces a second equation:

x+80-y=0.2y

Let's put both equations together to form a system of equations:

x-y=0.12y

x+80-y=0.2y

Operating on both equations:

x=1.12y

x=1.2y-80

Equating both equations, we have an equation with only y's:

1.12y=1.2y-80

Subtracting 1.2y on each side:

1.12y-1.2y=-80

Operating:

-0.08y=-80

Solving:

\displaystyle y=\frac{-80}{-0.08}=1,000

a)

The cost price of the article was Nu 1,000

b) The selling price of the article will be calculated in both cases:

Original selling price: x=1.12y= 1.12*1000=1,120

The original selling price was Nu 1,120

The second selling price was x+80=1,200

The second selling price was Nu 1,200
