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%

The two short sides of a triangle are 3 and 4 inches. what is the length of the hypotenuse,in inches?​
disa [49]

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the hypotenuse is a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2},

with a and be being the two shorter sides of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse.

Let's plug in our values for a and b and solve.

4^{2} + 3^{2} = c^{2}

16 + 9 = c^{2}

25 = c^{2}

What is the square root of 25? 5.

The length of the hypotenuse is 5 inches.
