Answer: 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shopkeeper purchased 60 pencil boxes for 4,500, he purchased them at the rate of:

= 4500 / 60

= 85 per pencil box

If the shopkeeper sold them at the rate of 4,125 for 50 pencil boxes, then he sold them at the rate of:

= 4125 / 50

= 82.50 per pencil box.

Therefore the percentage profit will be:

= Gain / Cost price × 100

= (82.50 - 75) / 75 × 100

= 7.5/75 × 100

= 10%

Determine if the following equations are equal by evaluating both sides

padilas [110]

Answer:

Yes, the both sides of the given equation are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\log((1-i)^3)=3\log(1-i)$

Taking LHS,

$LHS=\log((1-i)^3)$

Using the power property of logarithm, we get

$LHS=3\log(1-i)$ $[\because log_ax^n=nlog_ax]$

$LHS=RHS$ $[\because RHS=3\log(1-i)]$

Both sides of the given equation are equal.

erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

one person is deemed to drive and that person is fixed on the driver's seat no mater which arrangement.

we have now 2 more seats one adjacent to the driver and one rear (two combined).

so the total ways in which all five can be arranged is as follows.

driver, adjacent to him(1) and three back.

driver adjacent to him (different person) and three back.

see the driver is always fixed so we can ignore him.

thus we when driver set fixed , on two remaining seats (adjacent to driver and the back )there can be 4 different combinations.
