Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12
As per given , we have

if x= 4
Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours
Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)
Therefore, x= 24
Such that
Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours
Well, one quarter of 20 is 5 (because 20 ÷ 4 = 5). so, to find 3 quarters, we multiply 5 times 3.
5 × 3 = 15, so 3 quarters of 20 is 15.
Answer:
let cp be x
mp= x+ (20% 0f x)= 1.2x
sp = mp -d%of mp= 1.2- 15% *1.2 =1.02x
profit = 40
sp-cp =40
1.02x-x=40
x=2000
cp =2000
mp= 1.2*2000=2400
