If you're asking how this is possible,

Answer and explanation:

If Sandy and Allen's mother does the job in 5 hours

And Allen and Sandy's contributions completes the job in 2.5 hours

5 hours - 2.5 hours =2.5 hours

Allen and Sandy's contribution is half of the time it took only Allen and Sandy's mother= 2.5 hours

Therefore Allen and Sandy together will take 2.5×2 = 5 hours to complete the job alone without their mother

A similar example: if it takes one person 2 hours to peel 5 potatoes and it takes 1 hour to peel same number of potatoes if a second person helps, then this second person reduces the time used by 1 hour(50%) and would take 2 hours to complete the work.

A vcr and tv were bought for 8000 each. The shopkeeper made a loss of 4 per cent on vcr and 8 per cent prophit on the tv. Find t
aleksley [76]

Answer:

  2% gain

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the shopkeeper bought the appliances at the indicated prices, and that gain is computed on the basis of that cost price.

Since the base cost is the same for each appliance, the percentages can be added directly to find the percentage gain on 8000. However, the shopkeeper's total outlay was 16000, not 8000, so the final gain percentage is half of that total.

  gain percent = (-4% + 8%)/2 = 2%

_____

If you want to see the actual numbers:

  Loss on VCR = 4% × 8000 = 320.

  Gain on TV = 8% × 8000 = 640.

Total gain on 16000 is -320 +640 = 320. As a percentage, that is ...

  320/16000 × 100% = 2%
