Answer: Ade's profit percent =75%

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price for 20 pencils = N400

Selling price for 20 pencils at N25 each = 25 x 20 =500

Profit = Selling price - Cost price= N500 - N400= N100

Profit Percent = Profit/ Cost price x 100

= 100/ 400 x 100= 75%

An arithmetic sequence with a third term of 8 and a constant difference of 5

Vanyuwa [196]

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference}\\ \hrulefill\\[0.5em] a_3=8\\ n=3\\ d=5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5 \\\\\\ 8=a_1+10\implies -2=a_1 \\\\\\ \begin{cases} a_1=-2\\ d=5 \end{cases}\implies a_n=-2+(n-1)d$

A fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline. Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of gasoline to the tank. How many gallons of gas does

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

35 1/12 gallons of gasoline

Step-by-step explanation:

so what you're going to do is take both of the fractions (3/4 and 1/3) and convert them into two fractions with the same denominator so you can add them easily. the closest number that you can convert them to would be a denominator of 12, so we would turn 3/4 into its equivalent of 9/12 and 1/3 would now be 4/12. now we add them and get 13/12, which is an improper fraction, so we would change that to 1 and 1/12. and finally, we add 1 1/12 + 1 + 33 and we would get 35 and 1/12 as our final answer :)
