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%
Answer:
Choice B: Only (-1,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
With this one, first the equation needs to be reduced into point-slope format.
y+5=2(x+1)
Distributive Prop.
y+5=2x+2
Carry over the 5 to the opposite side.
y=2x-3
Now, with the point slope form, it makes it easier to plug in the question choices to find which if any are correct.
Choice A: X is 5; Y is 10
y=2x-3
y=2(5)-3
y=10-3
y=7
This does not give a y value of 10, so it is false.
Choice B: X is -1; Y is -5
y=2(x)-3
y=2(-1)-3
y= -2-3
y= -5
This does give a y value of -5, so it is true. Choices C and D are therefore false as well, since only Choice B works.
Answer:
a. 1/5
b. (3, 3/5)
c. 1/5x = y
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember: (x, y)
0.5 = 1/2
(1/2, 1/10) = 1/10 ÷ 1/2 = 1/10 • 2 = 1/5, you can divide y/x = constant of proportionality. 1/10 ÷ 1/2.
1 2/5 = 7/5
(7, 7/5) = 7/5 ÷ 7 = 7/5 • 1/7 = 1/5, y/x = constant of proportionality. 7/5 ÷ 7.
- a. 1/5 is the constant of proportionality
- b. (3, 3/5) because 3/5 ÷ 3 or 3/5 • 1/3 = 1/5.
- c. 1/5x = y
This is solved by breaking the equasion down.
2 { 5 [12 + 5 (500 - 100) + 399 ]}
2 { 5 [12 + 5 (400) + 399]}
2 { 5 [12 + 2000 + 399]}
2 { 5 [2411]}
2 {12055}
24110
