Answer:

Question 1

Given

SP = 144
P = 20%
CP = x

Use formula and solve for x:

SP = CP + P
144 = x + (20% of x)
144 = x + 0.2x
144 = 1.2x
x = 144/1.2
x = 120

Cost price is N 120

Question 2

Given

SP = 1000
P = -20% (negative because of loss)
CP = x

Use formula and solve for x:

SP = CP + P
10000 = x - (20% of x)
10000 = x - 0.2x
10000 = 0.8x
x = 10000/0.8
x = 12500

Cost is N 12500

A square has sides of length s. A rectangle is 6 inches shorter and 1 inch longer than the square. Which of the following expres

Semmy [17]

Answer: Area of rectangle can be given by expressions:

$(s-6)(s+1)\text {and }s^2-5s-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A square has sides of length s.

According to the question,

Dimensions of new rectangles=(s-6)×(s+1)

Thus, Area of rectangle= (s-6)×(s+1)

$=s^2-6s+s-6\\\Rightarrow\ s^2-5s-6$

Thus , area of rectangle can be given by expressions:

$(s-6)(s+1)\text {and }s^2-5s-6$
