Answer:

The profit is $16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have 20 kg at Birr y per kg

The cost price is thus;

20 * y = 20y Birr

Now for the selling price;

16 kg was sold at (y + 3/4) Birr per kg

we have here that;

16 * y + 3/4 * 16

= 16y + 12

The rest is thus; 20 - 16 = 4 kg

The rest of this at (y + 1) per kg will be

4 * (y + 1) = 4y + 4

The total selling price is thus;

4y + 4 + 16y + 12 = 20y + 16

The profit is the difference between the selling and cost price

We have this as:

20y + 16 - 20y

= $16

Suppose that a and b are integers, a ≡ 4 ( mod 13 ) and b ≡ 9 ( mod 13 ) . Find the integer c with 0 ≤ c ≤ 12 such that: c ≡ 9 a
g100num [7]

Answer:

A) For c ≡ 9 a ( mod 13 ) ; C is 10

B) For c ≡ 11 b ( mod 13 ) ; C is 8

C) For c ≡ a + b ( mod 13 ); C is 0

D) For c ≡ a² + b² ( mod 13 ); C is 6

E) For c ≡ a² − b² ( mod 13 ) ; C is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a modular arithmetic problem where a ≡ 4 ( mod 13 ) and b ≡ 9 ( mod 13 ).

And 0 ≤ c ≤ 12.

A) c ≡ 9 a ( mod 13 )

Substituting the value of a to obtain;

c ≡ 9 x4 ( mod 13 ) = 36 mod 13

To find 36 mod 13 using the Modulo Method, we first divide the Dividend (36) by the Divisor (13).

Second, we multiply the whole part of the Quotient in the previous step by the Divisor (13).

Then finally, we subtract the answer in the second step from the Dividend (36) to get the answer. Here is the math to illustrate how to get 36 mod 13 using Modulo Method:

36 / 13 = 2.769231

2 x 13 = 26

36 - 26 = 10

Thus, the answer to "What is 36 mod 13?" is 10

So C = 10

B) c ≡ 11 b ( mod 13 ) = 11 x 9 ( mod 13 ) = 99 ( mod 13 )

Using the same method as above,

99 ( mod 13 );

99 / 13 = 7.6155

7 x 13 = 91

99 - 91 = 8

So, C = 8

C)c ≡ a + b ( mod 13 ) = 4 + 9 (mod 13) = 13 (mod 13)

Thus;

13 / 13 = 1

1 x 13 = 13

13 - 13 = 0

So, C = 0

D)c ≡ a² + b² ( mod 13 ) = 4² + 9²( mod 13 ) = 16 + 81 ( mod 13 ) = 97 ( mod 13 )

Thus;

97 / 13 = 7.46154

7 x 13 = 91

97 - 91 = 6

So, C = 6

E)c ≡ a² − b² ( mod 13 )= 4² - 9²( mod 13 ) = 16 - 81 ( mod 13 ) = - 65 ( mod 13 )

Thus;

-65 / 13 = - 5

-5 x 13 = - 65

-65 - (-65) = 0

So, C = 0

Write an expression that is equivalent to
finlep [7]

Answer:

15/2r - 40; Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Distributive Property to multiply the 5 across the expression in the parentheses.

5(3/2r - 8)

5 × 3/2r = 15/2r

5 × -8 = -40

Combine.

15/2r - 40

Hope this helps!
