Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Sales price of 200 apples = 300
At this price, there was loss of Rs. 100
Means the cost of the apples was
300 + 100 = Rs. 400
To earn Rs. 100, they should have been sold for Rs. 500
Answer:
4 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken for them to have the same number of strawberries be x minutes.
<u>Initially</u>
Ruby: 10 strawberries
Sapphire: 30 strawberries
<u>After x minutes</u>
Ruby: (10 +3x) strawberries
Sapphire: (30 -2x) strawberries
Since we let x minutes be the amount of time that has passed when they have the same amount of strawberries,
10 +3x= 30 -2x
Bring all x terms to one side, constant to the other:
3x +2x= 30 -10
Simplify:
5x= 20
Divide both sides by 5:
x= 20 ÷5
x= 4
∴ It will take 4 minutes.
