Answer:

-64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the word "quotient" means the answer to a division problem. Therefore, its a division problem, so you have to work backwards with multiplication. -8 times a number is 5/8, so the other number is going to be negative.

The number is -64/5

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Form this quotient, representing the number by n: n / (-8) = 5/8.

Solve this equation for n by multiplying both sides by 8: -n = 5. Then n = -5

Emily purchased lemons for $600. She sold 3/4 of these at a loss of 20% and the remaining at a gain of 20%. How much percent doe

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: CP of lemon is $600.

3/4 of lemon sold at 20% loss

Remaining lemon at 20% gain.

Considering the quantity of lemon remain constant.

Cost price of 3/4 of lemon= $\frac{3}{4} \times 600= \$450$

As given, 3/4 of lemon sold at 20% loss.

∴ Selling price of $\frac{3}{4}\ of\ lemon= 450- \frac{20}{100}\times 450$

Selling price= $450- 90= \$ 360$

Hence, selling price of 3/4 lemon is $360.

Now, the cost price of remaining lemon $(1-\frac{3}{4} )= (\$ 600-\$ 450)$

∴ The cost price of $\frac{1}{4}\ lemon = \$ 150$

As given, remaining $\frac{1}{4} lemon\ sold\ at\ gain\ of\ 20\%$

∴ Selling price of $\frac{1}{4} \ lemon= (150\times \frac{20}{100}+150)$

Selling price of $\frac{1}{4} \ of\ lemon= (30+150)$

Hence, selling price of 1/4 lemon is $180

Loss\profit percent= $\frac{(SP-CP)}{CP} \times 100$

∴ Loss\profit percent= $\frac{60}{600} \times 100= 10\%$

Hence, the loss percentage is 10%

PLEASE HELP -Given the graph of rectangle QUAD and its reflection.

V125BC [204]

Q is located at (-5,2)
Q" is located at (6,2)
they bot h have the same Y value (2) so we know it was only a reflection across the X axis
we need to find out where on the X axis it was reflected.
the distance between -5 and 6 = 11 units
11/2 = 5.5
the reflection line was 5.5 units to the right of the original Q
so the reflection line would be X = 0.5
