Answer:

Claire's lemonade is stronger

Step-by-step explanation:

Jennie's lemonade

2/2=1

3/2=1.5

Claire's lemonade

3/3=1

4/3=1.334

Jennie's lemonade has more water in the lemonade per lemon, so Claire's is stronger.

I don't know if I used proportions though.

Hope I did this correctly!

The bottom shape is a square prism with base edges of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm. What is the volume of the composite figure if

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: 96 cm^3

To answer this, start by finding the volume of the square prism. The formula is L x W x H, therefore the volume is 3 x 3 x 10 = 90.

Then, find the volume of the pyramid on the top. Use the same formula but divide it by 3 because it is a pyramid. 3 x 3 x 2 / 3 = 6

Add 90 and 6 to get 96.

B) The price of an electric fan is fixed 20% above its cost price. When it is sold allowing

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \sf {Marked \: price \: = Rs \: 1500}}}$

$\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{Selling \: price = \: Rs \: 1230}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cost price ( C.P ) be x

<u>Finding </u><u>the </u><u>Marked </u><u>price </u><u>and </u><u>selling </u><u>price </u>

Marked price = $\sf{x + 20\% \: of \: x}$

⇒ $\sf{x + \frac{20}{100} \times x}$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{x \times 100 + 20x}{100} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{120x}{100} }$ ⇒ ( i )

Selling price = $\sf{marked \: price \: - 18\% \: of \: marked \: price}$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{120x}{100} - \frac{18}{100} \times \frac{120x}{100} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{120x}{100} - \frac{54x}{250} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{120x \times 5 - 54x \times 2}{500} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{600x - 108x}{500} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{492x}{500} }$ ⇒ ( ii )

<u>Finding </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>Cost </u><u>price </u><u>)</u>

$\sf{loss = cost \: price - selling \: price}$

⇒ $\sf{20 = x - \frac{492x}{500} }$

⇒ $\sf{20 = \frac{x \times 500 - 492x}{500} }$

⇒ $\sf{20 = \frac{8x}{500} }$

⇒ $\sf{8x = 10000}$

⇒ $\sf{x = \frac{10000}{8} }$

⇒ $\sf{x = \: Rs \: 1250}$

Value of x ( cost price ) = Rs 1250

<u>Now</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>Replacing </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x </u><u>in </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>i </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>order </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>marked </u><u>price</u>

$\sf{marked \: price = \frac{120x}{100} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{120 \times 1250}{100} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \: Rs \: 1500}$

<u>Replacing </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x </u><u>in </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>ii </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>order </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>selling </u><u>price</u>

$\sf{selling \: price = \frac{492 \: x}{500} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{615000}{500} }$

⇒ $\sf{ \: Rs \: 1230}$

Thus , Marked price of the fan = Rs 1500

Selling price of the fan = Rs 1230

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
