Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the <u>unit selling price and cost of each cosmetics.</u>

If a person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen., then for 1 cosmetics, we will say;

x = 1 cosmetic

since 360 = 12 cosmetic

cross multiply

12x = 360

x = 360/12

x = 30

Hence the unit cost price of the cosmetics will be Rs. 30

Similarly, if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40 (a pair is 2 cosmetics)

Selling price per unit = Rs. 40

Cost price per unit = Rs. 30

percent gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%

percent gain = 40-30/30 * 100

percent gain = 10/30 * 100

percent gain = 100/3

percent gain = 33.33%

Hence the percentage gain is 33.33%

The square of 9 less than a number is 3 less than the number. What is the number?
gavmur [86]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-9)² =  x-3

(x-9) (x-9)= x-3

x² - 9x-9x +81 = x-3

x² -18x+81 =x-3

x²-19x+84 =0

(x-12)(x-7)=0

x=12 or 7

Divide. Write your answer in simplest form.<br> 2/3 divided by 3
gregori [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is pretty simple. Since we cannot divide this we can change the division sign into a multiplication, but to do this we need to also take the reciprocal of 2/3, which means we flip th number so it becomes 3/2. Now we can simply multiply. (1/4)*(3/2) which should give you 3/8

Which function has the same domain as y=2 sqrt x
Fiesta28 [93]
The domain of a function is the set of values for which the function is defined; i.e. the function outputs a value for an input from the domain. That means that we must be able to plug in numbers for x and get numbers from y.
We can't take the square root of negative numbers (ignoring imaginary numbers), so that means we can take the square root of any non-negative number; i.e. we can take the square root of zero, and any positive number.
Therefore, any function that can take in values of x that are zero or more than zero has the same domain as the given function. So y=\sqrt{x} is a function that has the same domain as y=2\sqrt{x}.
