Answer:
Percentage profit=40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost price=120 Naira
Sold price=168 Naira
Profit=Sold price- cost price
=168-120

Percentage profit=40%
Answer:
86 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
For triangle the sum of angles is equal to 180 degrees
so,
x+(x-35)+43=180
2x -35+43=180
2x = 180-43+35
2x = 172
x = 86
Answer:
21 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the distances is the same, so we have ...
5x +4 = 15x -30
34 = 10x
3.4 = x
Then the distances are ...
5(3.4) +4 = 21 . . . . miles
Bert and Ernie each live 21 miles from Big Bird's nest.
Let there be 2x science and 5x art books
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>
<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>
<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>
<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>
