Answer:

A bag of chips costs $1

A pickle costs $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

P + 2c = 3.25                            Start with these two equations

3p + 4c = 7.25

p = -2c + 3.25                           Solve for one variable

3(-2c +3.25) + 4c = 7.25           Substitute

-6c + 9.75 + 4c = 7.25

-2c = -2

c = 1

p + 2(1) = 3.25                           Substitute

p + 2 = 3.25

p = 1.25

satela [25.4K]

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • A dealer sold a photocopy machine at Rs 4200 with 13% VAT to a retailer.
  • The retailer added transportation cost of Rs 250 , profit Rs 300 and local tax Rs 150 and sold to consumer .
  • Customer has to pay 13% VAT .

<u>To </u><u>Find </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Amount to be paid by the customer .

<u>Sol</u><u>u</u><u>tion </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Here , according to the question ,

\sf\dashrightarrow Cost\ of \ machine \ = \ Rs 4200

\sf\dashrightarrow VAT = 13\%

Therefore cost after adding VAT ,

\sf\dashrightarrow Cost = Cost_{initial}+13\% of Cost_{initial}\\

\sf\dashrightarrow Cost = Rs4200 + Rs 4200 \times \dfrac{13}{100}\\

\sf\dashrightarrow Cost = Rs4200 + Rs546\\

\sf\dashrightarrow \bf{ Cost = Rs 4746}

Again the values added by the retailer before selling to customer ,

  • Transport = Rs 250
  • Profit = Rs 300
  • Tax = Rs 150

Therefore total cost after adding these ,

\sf\dashrightarrow Cost = Rs( 4746+ 250+ 300 + 150 )\\

\sf\dashrightarrow\bf { Cost = Rs 5446}

Again Selling price after addition of 13% VAT ,

\sf\dashrightarrow SP = Rs 5446 + 13\% \ of \ Rs 5446\\

\sf\dashrightarrow SP = Rs 5446 + \dfrac{13}{100}\times 5446 \\

\sf\dashrightarrow SP = Rs (5446 + 707.98) =  Rs ( 5446 + 708)\\

\sf\dashrightarrow \underline{\underline{\bf SP_{to\ the \ customer} = Rs 6154}}

<u>Hence </u><u>the </u><u>amount </u><u>to </u><u>be </u><u>paid </u><u>by </u><u>the </u><u>customer </u><u>is </u><u>Rs </u><u>6</u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement. 17.2 is 17.2 units to the ____ of zero on a number line. T
Fudgin [204]
Hello!

The number line progresses from negative infinity (extreme left) to positive infinity (extreme right). Beginning at zero, the numbers increase in value as they move to the right and decrease in value as they move to the left.

With this knowledge, we can look at the number 17.2 (a positive number) and conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the right of zero on the number line.

The opposite of 17.2 would be (-17.2). Again, looking at this number (a negative number), we can conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the left of zero on the number line.

I hope this helps!
