In the given question, we come to know that Sammy sold 5 bottles for every 3 water bottles sold by David. In this case we get the ratio as 5:3
Now this ratio indicates that the total number of bottles can be divided into 8 parts for finding out a single part. the total number of water bottles that are sold by Sammy and David together are 160.
Now on dividing this total number of bottles by 8 we get the 20 as one part.
The,
Number of Bottles sold by Sammy = 5 * 20
                                                         = 100
Number of bottles sold by David = 3 * 20
                                                   = 60
So Sammy sold 100 water bottles and David sold 60 water bottles from the total of 160 water bottles.

The height of a triangle is 5 cm shorter than its base. If the area of the triangle is 25 cm2, find the height of the triangle.
Olin [163]

Answer:

h = 5\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call B at the base of the triangle and call h at the height of the triangle. Then we know that:

The height of a triangle is 5 cm shorter than its base. This means that:

h = B-5.

 The area of the triangle is 25 cm²

By definition the area of a triangle is:

A = 0.5Bh

For this triangle we know that A = 25\ cm^2 and h = B-5. We substitute these values in the equation and solve for B.

25 = 0.5B (B-5)

0.5B ^ 2-\frac{5}{2}B-25 = 0

Now we use the quadratic formula to solve the equation.

For an equation of the form ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0 the quadratic formula is:

B=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case note that:  a=0.5,\ \ b=-\frac{5}{2}\ \ c=-25

Then:

B=\frac{-(-\frac{5}{2})\±\sqrt{(-\frac{5}{2})^2-4(0.5)(-25)}}{2(0.5)}

B=\frac{\frac{5}{2}\±\sqrt{\frac{25}{4}+50}}{1}

B=\frac{5}{2}\±\frac{15}{2}

The solutions are:

B_1=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{15}{2}=10

B_2=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{15}{2}=-5

For this problem we take the positive solution.

B=10\ cm

Now we substitute the value of B in the equation to find the height h

h = 10-5

h = 5\ cm

Games Galore Super Store buys the latest video game at a wholesale price of $30.00. The markup rate at Game's Galore Super Store
marishachu [46]

Answer:

<h2>$42</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Markup is the difference between a product's selling price and cost as a percentage of the cost.

For example, if a product sells for $125 and costs $100, the additional price increase is ($125 – $100) / $100) x 100 = 25%.

Given data

firstly let us solve for 40% of $30

=40/100*30

=0.4*30

=$12

therefore the sale price will be the markup rate plus the initial price

<em>Hence the you will have to pay 12+30=$42</em>
