Step-by-step explanation:

Here :-

Selling price of 10 mangoes is equal to the cost price of 12 mangoes

$\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}$

Let the cost price of one mango be ₹1. So :-

Cost Price of 10 mangoes = ₹10
Selling Price of 10 mangoes = ₹12

↝ Here the selling price of 10 mangoes is equal to the cost price of 12 mangoes. It means selling price of 10 mangoes = cost price of 12 mangoes. So, the selling price of 12 mangoes is ₹12 and the cost price of 10 mangoes is ₹10.

Profit = S.P > C.P

$\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}$

Fistly, finding the profit :-

${\dashrightarrow\sf{Profit = Selling \: Price - Cost \: Price}}$

${\dashrightarrow\sf{Profit = 12 - 10}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\red{Profit = Rs.2}}}}}$

∴ The profitis Rs.2.

$\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}$

Now, finding the profit percentage :-

$\dashrightarrow{{\sf{Profit \: \%= \dfrac{Profit }{Cost \: Price} \times 100}}}$

$\dashrightarrow{{\sf{Profit \: \%= \dfrac{2 }{10} \times 100}}}$

$\dashrightarrow{{\sf{Profit \: \%= \dfrac{2 \times 100 }{10}}}}$

$\dashrightarrow{{\sf{Profit \: \%= \dfrac{200 }{10}}}}$

$\dashrightarrow{{\sf{Profit \: \% = \cancel\dfrac{200 }{10}}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\red{Profit \: \% = 20 \: \%}}}}}$

∴ The profit percent is 20%.

The recursive rule for a sequence is shown.an=an−1+9a1=21 what is the explicit rule for this sequence?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Meaning of Explicit rule , is the general rule for a sequence.

The given sequence is defined as,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+9a_{1}-21$ ----(1)

Common Difference(d) of an airthmetic Sequence= N th term - (N-1) th term

$=a_{n}-a_{n-1}\\\\=a_{n-1}-a_{n-2}$

Equation 1 can be written as,

$a_{n}-a_{n-1}=9 a_{1}-21\\\\ d =9a_{1}-21$

General rule or explicit rule for this sequence is given as:

$a_{n}=a_{1} +(n-1)d\\\\a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)(9a_{1}-21)\\\\a_{n}=a_{1}+9na_{1}-21 n-9a_{1}+21\\\\a_{n}=-8a_{1}+21+n(9a_{1}-21)$

Please help! How on earth do I do this? In the year 2015, Anna bought a new car for $36,000. In 2017, she was told that the valu

Klio2033 [76]

Part A

Purchase Value of Anna's Car in 2015 = $36,000

Depreciated Value of Anna's Car in 2017 = $25,000

We know that the value of the car is depreciating linearly.

From the above data, we can see that the value of the car has reduced by $36,000-$25,000 = $11,000 over 2 years.

⇒ Per year the value has been depreciated by $\frac{11000}{2}$

⇒ Per year the value has been depreciated by $5,500

So if the value of a car in 2015 is V₀ then value of the car after t years can be determined by the below function:

V (t) = V₀ - (t*5,500), where t indicates the years passed since 2015

OR V (t) = 36,000 - (t*5,500), where t indicates the years passed since 2015

Part B

Suggested value of Anna's car for trade in option in 2018 = $15,000

In 2018, 3 years would have been passed since 2015. Using the value of t = 3 in the function determined in Part A:

V(3) = V₀ - (3*5,500)

⇒ V(3) = 36,000 - (16,500)

⇒ V(3) = $19,000

From the above calculations, we can see that the value of the car in 2018 should be $19,000, however the suggested value for trade in is indicated as $15,000 which is lower than what the value of the car should be. Hence, basis linear depreciation, the $15,000 value is not fair for the car in 2018.

Express these numbers in standard form (a)5730(b)0.23(c)0.000231(d)7150000(e)500.8

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

5730 = 5.73×10³

0.23 = 2.3×10‐¹

0.000231 = 2.31×10-⁴

7150000 = 7.15×10⁶
