Answer:

rs 31.25/kg

Step-by-step explanation:

He paid rs 25 per kg.

He bought 125 kg.

First, we find out the amount he paid.

total cost = unit cost * weight

total cost = (rs 25)/kg * 125 kg

total cost = rs 3125

He spent a total of rs 3125 buying the 125 kg of potatoes.

He wants to make a 20% profit on his cost, so the profit is

20% * rs 3125 =

= 0.2 * rs 3125

= rs 625

The amount of profit he wants is rs 625.

He must add the profit to his cost to calculate the total selling price.

rs 3125 + rs 625 = rs 3750

He must sell all the good potatoes for a total of rs 3750.

5 kg of potatoes were bad.

125 kg  5 kg = 120 kg

He can only sell 120 kg of good potatoes.

Now we calculate the selling price per kg.

(rs 3750)/(120 kg) = rs 31.25/kg

Answer: rs 31.25/kg

In a certain soccer tournament you play 6 games. In every match you get 3 points if you win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points if
Ann [662]

Answer:

0.430625 = 0.431

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent winning, D represent a draw and L represent a loss.

12+ points can be garnered in each of the following ways.

6W 0D 0L

5W 1D 0L

5W 0D 1L

4W 2D 0L

4W 1D 1L

4W 0D 2L

3W 3D 0L

The probability of getting 12+ points is the sum of all these 7 probabilities.

Knowing that P(W) = 0.5

P(D) = 0.1

P(L) = 0.4

P(6W 0D 0L) = [6!/(6!0!0!)] 0.5⁶ 0.1⁰ 0.4⁰ = 0.015625

P(5W 1D 0L) = [6!/(5!1!0!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1¹ 0.4⁰ = 0.01875

P(5W 0D 1L) = [6!/(5!0!1!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1⁰ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 2D 0L) = [6!/(4!2!0!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1² 0.4⁰ = 0.09375

P(4W 1D 1L) = [6!/(4!1!1!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1¹ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 0D 2L) = [6!/(4!0!2!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1⁰ 0.4² = 0.15

P(3W 3D 0L) = [6!/(3!3!0!)] 0.5³ 0.1³ 0.4⁰ = 0.0025

The probability of getting 12+ points = 0.015625 + 0.01875 + 0.075 + 0.09375 + 0.075 + 0.15 + 0.0025 = 0.430625

A parabola has a focus of F(8.5,−4) and a directrix of x=9.5.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

-\frac{1}{2}y^2-4y+1=x

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola has a focus of F(8.5,−4) and a directrix of x=9.5.

General form of  horizontal parabola is

(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)

the distance between directrix and focus is the value of p

so p = 8.5 - 9.5 = -0.5

Focus is (h+p , k), given focus is (8.5, -4)

So k = -4 and h+p = 8.5

we know p = -0.5

h +p = 8.5

h - 0.5 = 8.5

so h= 9                   and k = -4

vertex is (h,k) that is (9, -4)

Now plug in the value in the general equation

(y-k)^2=4p(x-h), k= -4, h= 9 , p = -0.5

(y+4)^2=4(-0.5)(x-9)

(y+4)^2=-2(x-9)

y^2+8y+16=-2x+18

subtract 18 on both sides

y^2+8y-2=-2x

Divide whole equation by -2

-\frac{1}{2}y^2-4y+1=x

20 POINTS PLEASE HELP QUICKLY!!

Answer:

They will each have saved $70.

Jessica is saving at a faster rate than Raphael.

The rate at which Jessica is adding to her savings is $4 per week more than the rate at which Raphael is adding to his savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Jessica’s savings is

y = 10x + 20

She is saving at the rate of $10/wk .

From Raphael’s table, he started with $40 and is saving at the rate of $6/wk.

The formula for Raphael’s savings is

y = 6x +40

When the two savings are equal

10x + 20 = 6x + 40     Subtract 20 from each side

       10x = 6x + 20     Subtract 6x from each side

        4x = 20              Divide each side by 4

          x = 5

Their savings will be equal after five weeks.

=====

After five weeks , Jessica will have saved

y = 10×5 + 20  

y = 50 + 20

y = $70

Raphael has also saved $70.

=====

Jessica is saving at a faster rate than Raphael.

She is saving at the rate of $10/wk, while he is saving at the rate of $6/wk.

The rate at which Jessica is adding to her savings is $4/wk more than the rate at which Raphael is adding to his savings.

The red line in the graph shows that Jessica starts with $20. After five weeks, she has caught up to Raphael, who also has $70 after five weeks.
