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%

How can completing the square aid in solving quadratic functions?
Elden [556K]
Completing the squares tells us exactly what square root we will need to calculate our answer.

Using the formula below you can find these answers:
A(x-h)^2 + K = 0
(x-5)^ 2 = - K/A


Does this make sense?

I don't even know how to figure this out. I don't have a formula for this
yuradex [85]

Answer:

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}

?=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the trigonometry formula

\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1

You are given that

\cos \theta=\dfrac{8}{17}

Substitute into the first formula

\left(\dfrac{8}{17}\right)^2+\sin^2\theta=1\\ \\\dfrac{64}{289}+\sin^2\theta=1\\ \\\sin^2\theta=1-\dfrac{64}{289}=\dfrac{289-64}{289}=\dfrac{225}{289}\\ \\\sin \theta=\pm \dfrac{15}{17}

Angle \theta is acute angle, then the sine of this angle is positive and

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}
