Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the sale price

First, we have to find the price it was sold for.

$\longmapsto$ 5/4 of 800 = 5/4 * 800

$\frac54 * 800 = \\\\\frac{4000}{4} = 1000\\\\$

The article was sold for rs. 1000

Step 2: Finding the percentage

To find the percentage, we have to divide the sale price over the cost of the article

$\frac{1000}{800} = \frac54 = 1.25 = 125percent$

The cost of the article is 100% or 1

$1.25 - 1 = 0.25 - or- 25percent$

25%

Answer:

There are a total of possible 1820 results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two competitions, one for boys and one for girls, and we want all the possible results we will calculate the possible combinations for the boys and multiply them by the possible combinations for the girls. This is shown below:

$Boys = \frac{15!}{3!(15 - 3)!} = \frac{15!}{3!12!} = \frac{15*14*13*12!}{3!12!}\\Boys = \frac{15*14*13}{3*2*1}\\Boys = \frac{15*14*13}{3*2*1}\\Boys = 455$
