There are 3 adult leaders since 18-3 = 15 then 15/5= 3
Divide both sides by 35
r-7=1/35
add 7 to both sides
r=7+1/35
r=245/35+1/35
r=246/35
X is minus 30 over 7
So you can cross multiply and multiply the values.
Then you can solve it like a normal equation
P = 4(2x^2 + 1)...when x = 3.5
P = 4(2(3.5^2) + 1
P = 4(2(12.25) + 1
P = 4(24.5 + 1)
P = 4(25.5)
P = 102 inches <===
Answer:
Let the MP of 1 article = Rs 1
MP of 15 article = Rs 15
SP of (15+1) articles = 15 x 96/100
= Rs 14.40
CP of 16 article = 14.40/135 x 100
= Rs 32/3
CP of 1 article = 32/3x16
= Rs 2/3
Required % = 1/3 x 3/2 x 100
= 50
