Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-2)+3x-4 = -38

=> 5x-10+3x-4 = -38

=> 5x+3x-10-4 = -38

=> 8x-14 = -38

=> 8x = -38+14

=> 8x = -24

=> x = -24/8

=> x = -3

The cost price of a box and a pen is Rs 80 The box is sold at 10% profit and the pen is sold at 20% loss. If the selling price o
uysha [10]

Answer:

61.84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the box be x. Since the price of the box and the pen is Rs 80, the pen's price can be represented as 80 - x. The box is sold at a ten percent profit, and an added ten percent is equal to 1.1. Therefore, the price the box sells at is 1.1(x). A 20% loss is the same a keeping 80% or multiplying by 0.8. This means the pen sold at 0.8(80 - x). Now, we are given the box went for Rs 28 more than the pen, so we can create an equation:

1.1x = 0.8(80 - x) + 28

We can simplify and solve:

1.1x = 64 - 0.8x + 28

1.9x = 92

x = 92/1.9

x = 920/19

The cost of the box after the increase would be 1.1(920/19) and the pen would be 0.8(80 - 920/19).

The sum of these two can be written as a percent x of 80.

80x = 0.8(80 - 920/19) + 1.1(920/19)

80x = 64 - 0.8(920/19) + 1.1(920/9)

80x = 64 - 0.3(920/19)

80x = 64 - 276/19

80x = 940/19

x = 940/1520

x = 0.6184

This is 61.84%

Answer:

4448 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula A = 2((l)x(w) + (l)x(h) + (w)x(h)) we can take the length, width and height and plug them in. A = 2(44x21 + 44x20 + 21x20), solving this equation we get 4448 feet^{2}.

Bill's recipe for onion soup call for 4.0lb of thinly sliced onions. If an onion has an average mass of 115g, how many onions do
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1. 16\ onions

2. 4,040.91\ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the average mass of an onion is 115 grams and Bill needs 4.0 pounds.

Then, since 1\ lb=453.592\ g, we can make the following conversion:

(4.0\ lb)(\frac{453.592\ g}{1\ lb})=1,814.37\ g

Then, the number of onions Bill needs is:

(1,814.37\ g)(\frac{1\ onion}{115\ g})=15.77\ onions ≈ 16\ onions

2.  Since 1\ kg=2.20462\ lb, we can make the following conversion:

(11\ lb)(\frac{1\ kg}{2.20462\ lb})=4.98\ kg

 Knowing that all the potatoes sold today at the store bring in $1,420 and 4.98 kilograms of potatoes is $1.75, we can calculate the amount of kilograms the grocery shoppers bought:

(\$1,420)(\frac{4.98\ kg}{\$1.75})=4,040.91\ kg

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

1529.4 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the formula V = 1/3*h*B for the volume of the pyramid, where V is volume, h is height, and B is are of the base.

First, since we know h and are looking for V, we need B. To find this, since it has a square base, we multiply b, the base length, by itself. 15.3m * 15.3m = 234.09m^2.

Next, we plug into the formula.

V = 1/3*19.6m*234.09m^2

And simplify:

V= 1/3 * 4,588.164m^3

V= 15.29.3879....

Last, round to the tenth

1529.4 m^3
