Answer:

11,500

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of a book (CP) = 10000

profit percent = 15%

selling price of a book (SP) = ?

SP = CP + profit% of CP

=10000 + 15 / 100 * 10000

=1000000 + 150000/100

=1150000/100

=11500

Therefore, the book will cost 11,500

Here,
We have,
Cost price of a book (CP) = N10,000
Profit percent (p%)= 15%
Now,
Using profit percent formula we get,
P% = (Sp-Cp)/ Cp*100
15 = (Sp-10,000)/10,000*100.
15*10000=100Sp-1000000
150000+1000000=100Sp
1150000/100=Sp
Sp=11500

Hence,
A book should be sold at 11500

Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. -15, -6, 3, 12, ...

Mariulka [41]

Answer: $t_{n}=-15+9(n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as:

$t_{n}=a+(n-1)d$

$a =$ first term = -15

$d =$ common difference = -6 - (-15) = 9

$n =$ number of terms

substituting into the formula , we have :

$t_{n} = -15+(n-1)9$

$t_{n}=-15+9(n-1)$

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 36 cm , find its area.

Brut [27]

L = Length
W = Width

L x W = area
Length = 2w

Lets find the width by solving for w.
2w + w = 36
3w = 36
3w/3 = 36 / 3
w = 12

So
L = 2 x 12 = 24
W = 12
L X W = area
24 x 12 = 288 cm^2

Check if given set of numbers 6,8,10 forms pythagorean triplet or not?

kipiarov [429]

$\LARGE{ \underline{ \tt{Required \: answer:}}}$

We know that,

Pythagoras theoram is given by : p² + b² = h²

In a Pythagoras triplet, the longest side represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Then,

We should check that, whether the sum of squares of the smaller sides will be equal to the square of the third side or not. Then, we can determine the above easily.

Sum of squares of smaller sides:

= 6² + 8²

= 36 + 64

= 100

Square of longer side:

= 10²

= 100

Sum of squares of smaller sides = Square of longer side. Hence, 6,8,10 are Pythagorean triplets.

And we are done! :D

Volumen de un cilindro: es igual al área de la tapa por la altura del mismo

A = πD² * h / 4

Lata grande y lata pequeña

Para la lata grande, el diámetro y la altura han aumentado un 20%.

Lata pequeña:

d = 4 cm

h = 3 cm

A 1 = π * (4) ² * 3/4

A1 = 37,70 cm²

Lata grande:

d = 4 * 1,2 = 4,8 cm

h = 3 * 1,2 = 3,6 cm

A2 = π (4,8) ²3,6 / 4

A2 = 65,14 cm²

Si 37,7 representa el 100%

65,14 representación x

x = 170%

El incremento del volumen es de un 70%
