A+b=100
a-b=6 ⇒ a= b+6

(b+6)+b=100
2b+6=100
2b=100-6
2b=94
b=94:2
b=47
a=47+6
a=53

State an equation you could use to find the value of x. Then find the value of x in simplest form.

Alex17521 [72]

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2
x^2+x^2=(7√2)^2
2x^2=49*2 (combine like terms and square the 7√2)
x^2=49 (divide both sides by 2)
x=7 (square root both sides)

So the equation is 2x^2=98 (simplest form) and x=7

Hope this helps

Kabul’s bookshop marks up all books by 40 percent of their cost. The overhead rate is 16 percent of the selling price. What is t

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The net profit rate on the book is 5.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The marks up percentage of book = m = 40%

The overhead rate is 16% of selling price

The cost price of book = c.p = $18.10

Let The profit = $p

Let The selling price = s.p

<u>Now, According to question</u>

mark up percentage = $\dfrac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$

I.e 40% = $\dfrac{s.p - 18.10}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{40}{100}$ + 1 = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{140}{100}$ = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, s. p = $\dfrac{140\times 18.10}{100}$

∴ s.p = $25.34

So, selling price of book = s.p = $25.34

Now, The overhead percentage = 16%

i.e overhead rate = $\dfrac{\textrm estimated cost}{\textrm estimated total base unit}$

Or, estimated cost = 16% × 25.34

I,e estimated cost = 0.16 × 25.34

∴ estimated cost = $4.05

Now,

Profit = selling price of book - estimated book cost

I.e p = $25.34 - $4.05

∴ p = $21.29

So, The profit rate% = $\dfrac{\textrm profit}{\textrm estimated cost}$

I.e The profit rate% = $\dfrac{21.29}{4.05}$

∴ profit rate %= 5.41

So, The profit rate = p = 5.41

Hence, The net profit rate on the book is 5.41 Answer
