Answer:

Rs 120.  

Step-by-step explanation:

10=0.85SP-CP; CP+10=0.85SP; SP=[CP+10]/0.85 Eq 1. Let SP= Selling Price and CP= Cost Price

-2 =0.75SP-CP; 0.75SP=C-2; SP=[CP-2]/0.75 Eq 2

[CP+10]/0.85=[CP-2]/0.75 : SP of Eq 1=SP of Eq 2

0.75[CP+10]=0.85[CP-2]

0.75CP+7.5=0.85CP-1.7

0.85CP-0.75CP=-1.7–7.5=9.2

0.10CP=9.2; CP=9.2/0.10

CP=Rs 92 Cost Price of pen

10=0.85SP-92; 0.85SP=92+10=102; SP=102/0.85=Rs 120 Marked Price of pen (answer)

From Eq2: -2=0.75SP-CP; 0.75SP=CP-2=92–2=90; SP=90/0.75=Rs120; -2=0.75(120)-CP; CP-2=0.75(120); CP-2=90; CP=90+2=Rs 92

Set CP of Eq 1=CP of Eq 2:

CP=0.85SP-10 from Eq 1; CP=0.75SP+2 from Eq 2;

0.85SP-10=0.75SP+2; 0.85SP-0.75SP=10+2=12

0.10SP=12; SP=12/0.10=Rs120 is the Marked Price(answer)

Normally, the Selling Price is the marked price. The seller will not disclose the Cost Price because it is the price when the item was acquired or procured, otherwise the buyer will ask for more discounts and based his buying price from the Cost Price if it is known. The calculated SP and CP satisfy both Eq 1 and Eq 2. Both Eq 1 and Eq 2 satisfy the given conditions of the problem above.

The product of two numbers is 30. If one of the numbers is 15/, what is the other number?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The other number is 2 if the given number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the numbers is 15, correct?

Let the other number be x.

15 × x = 30

x = 30/15

x = 2.

Let's check:

15 × 2 = 30.

30 = 30.

17/39 + 11/12 −( 5/12 + 4 /39 )
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

.83333333 or 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Make common denominator

204/468 + 429/468 = 633/468 - (195/468 + 48/468)

Simplify: 633/468 - 243/468

390/468 can be further broken down to 5/6 if you divide by a common factor which is 78.

I need help on it, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The length of river frontage for each lot are 96.55 ft. 98.85 ft, 101.15 ft and 103.45 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The river frontage of 400 ft will be divided into 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 for each lot as AP, BQ, CR, DS and ET all are parallel.

Therefore, PQ : QR : RS : ST = 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 = 42 : 43 : 44 : 45

Let, PQ = 42x, QR = 43x, RS = 44x and ST = 45x

So, (42x + 43x + 44x + 45x) = 400

⇒ 175x = 400

⇒ x = 2.2988.

So, PQ = 42x = 96.55 ft.

QR = 43x = 98.85 ft.

RS = 44x = 101.15 ft and  

ST = 45x = 103.45 ft
