Let Ted be x.

Ed is 7 years older =  x  + 7

Ed = (3/4)Ted

(x + 7) = (3/4)x

x + 7 = 3x/4

x - 3x/4 = -7

x/4 = -7

x = -28,           Ted = -28 years.

(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21,      Ed = -21 years

Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense?  No it doesn't.

Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.

<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>

What should the next number be? 100 96 104 88 120 56
riadik2000 [5.3K]

100 ---> 96 is -4

96 ---> 104 is +8

104 ---> 88 is -16

88 ---> 120 is +32

120 ---> 56 is -64  

So first we go down by 4, then up by 8, then down 16, then up 32, then finally down 64.  

The pattern of numbers is: -4, +8, -16, +32, -64  

Notice it's the powers of 2:  

2^2 = 4

2^3 = 8

2^4 = 16

2^5 = 32

2^6 = 64

each term doubles. Also each term alternates in sign. One is positive, then the next is negative and so on.  

The last difference is -64, which doubles to -128. Change the sign to positive to get +128  

Add 128 to the last term of 56 to get

128+56 = 184  

Therefore, the final answer is 184

20. A frock is marked Rs. 228 at a discount of 20% is given on it. What is the discount and
Darina [25.2K]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

20. Because the discount is 20% of the given price so the discount would be"

228/100*20

= 45.6 Rs

Its selling price would be:

228 + 45.6 = 273.6 Rs

21. Sales tax would be:

450/100*5

= 22.5 Rs

Total price in bill = 22.5 + 450 = 472.5 Rs

22. 10% tax of 3300 would be:

3300/100*10 = 330 Rs

Price before tax = 3300 - 330 = 2970 Rs

23. He spent in total of:

2500 + 500 = 3000Rs

He sold for 3300 Rs

He gain 3300 - 3000 = 300 Rs profit

His loss gain percent = 3300/3000 * 100 = 110%

24. On the first bike, he earn:

2500/100*20 = 500 Rs

On the second bike, he lose:

2500/100*25 = 625 Rs

He lose in total of 625 -500 = 125 Rs

his loss percentage = (2500+500) + (2500 - 625) / 5000* 100

= 100% - (2500+500) + (2500 - 625) / 5000* 100

= 100% - 97.5%

He lose 2.5% money
