the price of an article is Marked 25% above the cost price .if it is solid the profit of Rs.500 after allowing 15% discount .wha

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Rs 8500

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cost price of c, the marked price is ...

marked = c +25%·c = 1.25c

After the 15% discount, the sale price will be ...

s = marked -15%·marked = 0.85·marked = (0.85)(1.25c) = 1.0625c

The profit will be the difference between the sale price s and the cost c:

p = s -c

500 = (1.0625c) -c = 0.0625c

Then the cost is ...

500/0.0625 = c = 8000

and the sale price is ...

s = c +p = 8000 +500 = 8500 . . . rupees

The selling price will be Rs 8500.

I need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find X. I don’t know how to do that!!

Answer:

17) x=8

18) $x=\sqrt{189}$ or $x= 3\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the rule is $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ , "c" being the hypothenuse, or the long line that is opposite to the right angle.

17) We know that both values of x are equal to each other, which makes everything 10x easier!

$x^{2} +x^{2} =(8\sqrt{2}) ^{2}$

(by the way we know the x values are our a and b values because they are legs! the way I like to remember the legs is that they are connected to the right angle box, and therefore support the hypothenuse)

<em>simplify</em> (╥︣﹏╥)

$2x^2=8^2(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$2x^2=64(2)$

$2x^2=128$

$x^{2}= 128/2$

$x^{2} =64$

x=8

18) Just pretend that the flipped triangle doesn't exist. It's parallel to the other triangle with values on it, and basically servers no purpose other than being parallel to the sister triangle :)

Anyways, since we know the hypothenuse (15) but we don't know one of our leg values (x), we're going to change our equation a bit!

$c^{2} - b^{2} = a^{2}$
