Hi,

To solve this problem, Let us take the LCM of 10 and 16 which will come 80.

Now suppose the cost price of 10 tables =₹n CP of 80 tables will be ₹ 8n

According to the question, CP of 10 tables is equal to the SP of 16 tables, then

the SP of 16 tables will also be ₹ n.

So, SP of 80 tables will be ₹ 5n

So, Loss = CP-SP

→ 8n - 5n = ₹ 3n

Loss%= (3n×100)/8n

Loss%= 37.5%.

Hence the correct answer will be a <u>loss of 37.5%.</u>

Answer:

y = 18x + 10

slope = 18

y-intercept = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation given in the problem is linear and can be represented using slope-intercept form of a linear equation: y = mx + b, where 'm' is equal to the slope, 'b' is equal to the y-intercept, 'x' is the number of hours and 'y' is the total number of miles.

Given that Jasmine has already biked 10 miles, her initial value, or y-intercept would be 10. Since she is now biking at a rate of 18 miles per hour, her rate of change, or slope, would be 18.

Using these values for 'm' and 'b': y = 18x + 10

Many utility companies promote energy conservation by offering discount rates to consumers who keep their energy usage below cer

Answer:

a. 0.1681 = 16.81% probability that all five qualify for the favorable rate.

b. 0.5283 = 52.83% probability that at least four qualify for the favorable rates

Step-by-step explanation:

For each Puerto Rico resident, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they qualify for discounted rates, or they do not. The probability of a person in the sample qualifying for discounted rates is independent of any other person in the sample. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
