A bucket is sold at a profit equal to one - fifth of its cost price find profit percentage ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tresset [83]3 years ago

Answer:

20% profit margin!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose If the cost of a bucket is $100.

As the bucket is sold to 1/5 of the bucket cost.

i.e. 1/5 × 100 = $20

We know that 20% of 100 is 20.

i.e. 20/100 × 100 = 20

It mathematically means if the cost of the bucket was 100, and he sold at a profit equal to one - fifth of its cost price. It indicates that he earned a $20 profit. In other words, the person got a 20% profit percentage.

Note: I tried to take sample costs like $100 to make you understand as simple as I can.

Thus, if a  bucket is sold at a profit equal to one - fifth of its cost price, the profit margin will always 20%, because if there are 5 parts of an object, 1 part makes the 20%.

I hope you get my point.

A truck weighing 150kN and travelling at 2m/sec impacts with a buffer
FrozenT [24]

The maximum compression of the spring is 0.276 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we calculate the spring  constant of the spring, by using Hooke's law:

F=kx

where

F = 10 kN = 10,000 N is the force applied

x = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m is the corresponding compression of the spring

k is the spring constant

Solving for k,

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{10,000}{0.0125}=8\cdot 10^5 N/m

When the truck impacts with the spring, all the kinetic energy of the truck is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring, so we can write

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 (1)

where

m is the mass of the truck

v = 2 m/s is the initial speed of the truck

k=8\cdot 10^5 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

The mass of the truck can be found from its weight:

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{150,000 N}{9.81 N/kg}=15,290 kg

So now we can re-arrange eq.(1) to find the compression, x:

x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(15,290)(2)^2}{8\cdot 10^5}}=0.276 m

Prove that (81/16)^-3/4 ×[(25/9)^-3/2 ÷ (5/2)^-3]=1​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

First write them in positive exponent form

(16/81)¾ × [ (9/25)^3/2 ÷ (2/5)³ ]

(2⁴×¾)/ (3⁴×¾) × [ (3² × ^3/2) / (5² ×^3/2) ÷ 2³/5³)

Simplify the terms

2³/3³ × ( 3³ / 5³ ÷ 2³/5³)

Solve the terms in the bracket

2³/3³ × (3³/5³×5³/2³)

You will get

2³/3³ × 3³/2³ = 1

They will cancel each other so the answer will be 1

Hope this helps.
