Mathematics

Answer:

-20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Purchase price = Rs1000

Price sold = 4/5 of the purchase price

Price sold = 4/5 * 1000 = Rs. 800

Profit Percentage :

(price sold - purchase price) / purchase price * 100%

(800 - 1000) / 1000 * 100%

(-200 / 1000) * 100%

-0.2 * 100%

-20%

Tatiana [17]
Find out how much you need for one person then multiply by 18 is one way you could do this..

4 divided by 24 = 0.166666666666667 x 18 = 3 litres of lemon-lime soda.

2 divided by 24 = 0.083333333333333 x 18 = 1.5 pints of servet

6 divided by 24 = 0.25 x 18 = 4.5 cups of ice.

Hope this helps!

Write all ratios in is There are three children in the Skosana family. Each week the eldest earns R270, the middle child earns R
geniusboy [140]

From the amounts that are given, the ratio of the earnings will be 3:2:1.

<h3>How to calculate ratio</h3>

From the information, the eldest earns R270, the middle child earns R180 and the youngest earns R90.

Therefore, the common factor to the numbers will be 90. Therefore, the ratio will be:

270/90 = 3

180/90 = 2

90/90 = 1

The ratio is 3:2:1.

For which value(s) of x are the triangles congruent?​
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions are 2 and 5

Because it's asking what would make the triangles congruent, you would set up the equation like this because the angles (angle 3 and angle 4) need to be equal:

x^2 = 7x - 10

Next, you add 10 to both sides. This is so that you can move it to the other side, addition is the inverse of subtraction.

x^2 + 10 = 7x

Now subtract 7x from both sides. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. You do this to get it on the other side so you can factor it. You can move the 10 and 7x to the other side in any order or at the same time, I just did it like this.

x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0

Now, factor. I don't really know how to explain factoring, you just get a feel for it with a lot of practice.

(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0

You can use FOIL to check this if you want to. x(x) is x^2, -2(-5) is 10), -2x - -5x is -7x. Now, find what you need to do to make what's in each of the groups of parentheses equal to 0.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

One of the solutions is 2, because you add 2 to x to get 0.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

The other solution is 5, because you add 5 to x to get 0. Lastly, check your solutions by plugging them in to the original equation.

2^2 = 7(2) - 10

4 = 14 - 10

So 2 is definitely a solution.

5^2 = 7(5) - 10

25 = 35 - 10

5 is also a solution.

Hope that helps :]
