This I think could be technically answered in a couple of ways. Fill the 4 gallon bucket up and then fill the 7 gallon bucket up 1/7 of the way. Or fill the 4 gallon bucket up and transfer to the 7 gallon bucket and fill the 4 gallon bucket up 1/4 of the way. Either way the 1/4 or the 1/7 will be a close estimate to get your 5 gallon bucket. I hope this helps.

Bobby bought two shares of stock, which he sold for $96 each. If he had a profit of 20 percent on the sale of one of the shares
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The correct option is c) a loss of $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

If the selling price of two item is same and one item sold at a profit of x % and other at a loss of x % in that case total sale result loss:

To calculate the loss use the formula: Loss\ \%=(\frac{x}{10})^2\ \%

It is given that he had a profit of 20 percent on the sale of one of the shares but a loss of 20 percent on the sale of the other share, where the selling price is $96 each.

That means the total sale result will be a loss.

Now use the above formula by substitute x=20.

Loss\ \%=(\frac{20}{10})^2\ \%\\\\Loss\ \%=4\ \%

It is given that the sales price is $96 of each that means total sales price is:

$96+$96=$192

Let the cost price of the shares were x.

According to question: x-4% of x = 192

x-\frac{4}{100}\times x = 192\\\\x-0.04x = 192\\\\0.96x = 192\\x = 200

Hence, the cost price of the shares was 200.

Loss = Cost price -Sales price

Loss = $200 - $192

Loss = $8

Hence, the correct option is c) a loss of $8.

Solve the following equation for a: -g + 3/4a = y
matrenka [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a = (4/3)(y+g)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate 'a' term, then multiply by the reciprocal of its coefficient.

  -g+\dfrac{3}{4}a=y\qquad\text{given}\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}a=y+g\qquad\text{add $g$}\\\\\boxed{a=\dfrac{4(y+g)}{3}}\qquad\text{multiply by $4/3$}
