shopkeeper purchased a bicycle for rupees 5000 and marked its price a certain percent above the cost price then he sold it at 10

Gennadij [26K]

Lets say the final price of the bike is SP plus 13% VAT. So:

1.13 * SP = 6356.25

SP = 5625

Now SP was after 10% discount on Original Price, say MP. So:

0.9 * MP = 5625

MP = 6250

Therefore, the percent of Marked Price above Cost Price is:

(6250 - 5000) * 100/5000 = 25%

At a military function, three cannons are fired at intervals of 12

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

144 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To do solve this question, we must find the LCM (least common multiple) of 12, 16, and 18.

Let's start by prime factorizing (finding the prime factors) all the numbers.

$12\rightarrow3*4\rightarrow2*2*3$

$16\rightarrow4*4\rightarrow2*2*2*2$

$18\rightarrow2*9\rightarrow2*3*3$

Now, we must find the greatest quantity of each [prime] number and multiply them together to obtain the least common multiple.

Upon further evaluation of the [prime] factors, we can see that we need four 2s and two 3s. Therefore...

$2*2*2*2*3*3=2^4*3^2=16*9=144$

They will be fired together again after 144 seconds.

The radius of the cone is 1.25 inches, and its height is 2.75 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches, what

nasty-shy [4]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The volume of a cone can be found as:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ V:Volume \\ \\ r:radius \ of \ base \\ \\ h:height$

Given the radius and height, we can find the volume of the cone:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \\ \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (1.25)^2(2.75) \\ \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\pi(1.5625)(2.75) \\ \\ V\approx 4.5in^3$

The volume of a sphere is:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ \text{Each gum ball has a diameter of 0.5in, so the radius is:} \\ \\ r=\frac{0.5}{2}=0.25in$

So, for each gum ball the volume is:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (0.25)^3 \\ \\ V=0.065in^3$

Therefore, the he closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice is:

$4.5-0.065=4.43in^3$

Conclusion: The volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice is 4.43 cubic inches.
