Cost price of the car is $ 8200. Selling price is 80% which is 8200 x(80/100) = $ 6560 . So he lost (8200 - 6560= $1640

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

A rectangular window is l meters wide and h meters high, with a perimeter of 6 meters and an area of 2m². What is the formula for calculating the width of the window?

we know that

The perimeter of the window is equal to

$P=2(l+w)$

we have

$P=6\ m$

$6=2(l+w)$

simplify

$3=(l+w)$

isolate the variable l

$l=3-w$ ----> equation A

The area of the window is equal to

$A=lw$

we have

$A=2\ m^2$

$2=lw$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$2=(3-w)w$

solve for w

$2=3w-w^2$

$w^2-3w+2=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$w^2-3w+2=0$

$a=1\\b=-3\\c=2$

substitute in the formula

$w=\frac{-(-3)(+/-)\sqrt{-3^{2}-4(1)(2)}} {2(1)}$ ---> formula for calculating the width of the window

$w=\frac{3(+/-)\sqrt{1}} {2}$

$w=\frac{3(+/-)1} {2}$

$w=\frac{3(+)1} {2}=2\ m$

$w=\frac{3(-)1} {2}=1\ m$

How do you work out a percentile rank of a score of 57

arlik [135]

To do that you'll need the mean and standard deviation of all the scores. Can you provide this info?

For example: Supposing that the mean of these scores were 52 and the standard deviation 3. You'd need to find the "z-score" of 57 in this case.
57 - 52
It is z = ------------ , or z = 5/3, or z = 1.67.
3

Find the area to the left of z = 1.67. Multiply that area by 100% to find the percentile rank of the score 57.
