The sum of two numbers is 43 . The smaller number is 19 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
Setler [38]
Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be y.
We can calculate this by using simultaneous equation, aka listing 2 equations out.
From given,
X + y = 43
Let this be equation no. 1
X + 19 = y
Let this number be equation 2.
We can do simultaneous equations either by substitute method or elimination. In this case I'm using substitute.
We can already obtain the value of y (in terms of x) in euqation no. 2, so all we gonna do is to put y into equation 1.
X + x + 19 = 43
Solve this by algebra.
2x = 43 - 19
X = 12
Now we know the exact value of x
Now substitute x = 12 into equation no. 2
12 + 19 = y
Y = 31
So the answer is 12 and 31

A fruit seller purchased 20 kg of apples at Rs 80 per kg and sold them at Rs 85 per kg. find profit and profit percent​
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Profit = Rs 100

Profit %age = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price = Rs 80

Cost Price for 20 kg = Rs 1600

Selling Price = Rs 85

<u><em>Profit for 1 kg</em></u> = Rs 85 - Rs 80

=> Rs 5 (For 1 Kg)

<u><em>Profit for 20 kg:</em></u>

=> Rs 5*20

=> Rs 100

<u><em>Now Profit %age:</em></u>

=> \frac{100}{1600}* 100

=> 0.0625 * 100

=> 6.25%
