Answer: 35%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price be "4x".
60% gain on 1/2 of them will be:
(1.60 × 2x) = 3.2x - 2x = 1.2x
20% gain on (1/4) of them will be:
(1.2 × x) = 1.2x - x= 0.2x
Total gain 1.2x + 0.2x = 1.4x
Total gain percent= Gain/Original price =1.4x/4x = 0.35 = 35%

Step-by-step explanation:
common ratio(r)=-3/4
a2÷a1=r
32/9÷-128/27=-3/4
therefore using the common ratio to find the fourth term is just by multiplying the third term -8/3 by the common ratio -3/4
which equals = 2
Answer:
Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.
<u>The area is:</u>
<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>
<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>
<u>The area is now:</u>
- (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
- 3x² + 4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
- x² - 2x - 8 = 0
- x² - 2x + 1 = 9
- (x - 1)² = 3²
- x - 1 = 3
- x = 4
The breadth was 4 m and the length 12 m
Answer:
0.6 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed downstream: 13/5= 2.6 km/hr
Speed upstream: 7/5= 1.4 km/hr
Therefore, Velocity of current is: 1/2 (2.6-1.4) km/hr = 1/2(1.2) km/hr
Divide the perimeter by 3 to get 8 then use the equation for the area of a triangle (a= BH1/2) and your answer is 32
