Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of the x mangoes was ...
c = 10(x/4)
The revenue from the sale of mangoes was ...
r = 20(x-5)/5
The profit is the difference between revenue and cost:
10 = r - c = 20(x -5)/5 -10(x/4) = 1.5x -20 . . . . substitute and simplify
30 = 1.5x . . . . . add 20
20 = x . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
The trader bought 20 mangoes.
_____
<em>Check</em>
He paid 20(10/4) = 50 naira. He sold the 15 good mangoes for 20/5(15) = 60 naira, so made a 10 naira profit.
Answer:
the total number of shingles is 3060
Step-by-step explanation:
Please have a look at the attached photo.
We need to find the total are of the roof.
The are of the trapezoid is:
- A = 1/2 (base 1 + base 2) height
= 1/2 (20+30)*15
= 375
The are of the triangle:
= 1/2(1.5*10)
= 7.5
=> We need to find the total are of the roof is:
The are of the 2 trapezoids + The are of the 2 triangles
= 375 *2 + 7.5 *2
= 765
Given in the question that, the shingles are 1 foot by 1 foot, but they overlap by 0.75 square foot so the usable area of the shingle is only 0.25
So the total number of shingles is:
765 / 0.25
= 3060
Answer:
9 ÷ (x + y)
This is not specific
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:33 envelopes
Step-by-step explanation:
35 envelopes cost rs105
X envelopes cost rs99
X =(35x99)/105
X=3465/105
X=33
To re-phrase this: 50 is a certain percent of 90.
this can be written mathematically as 50=x%*90
let's divide both sides by 10:
5=x%*9
and divide both sides by 9:
which in decimals is approximately 0.56 (but not exactly).
so 0.56=x%
and the x then 56
so 50 is
approximately 56% of 90:
exactly 56%of 90 is 50.4
