The number of books sold is 473.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- The original cost of each book = $0.64
- The selling price of each book = $0.75
The difference between the original price and selling price of the book gives the profit per book.
The profit of one book = Selling price - Original price
Let,
- The total number of books be 'x'.
- The number of books sold be 'y'.
- The unsold books is 100.
- The total profit is -12 because it was gone to a loss of $12.
Therefore, the equation is formed as
total Profit = 0.75y - 0.64x
⇒ 0.75y - 0.64x = -12 --------(1)
Total books = sold books + unsold books
x = y + 100
⇒ x-y = 100 -------(2)
Substitute x= 100+y in the eq(1),
0.75y - 0.64(100+y) = -12
0.75y - 64 -0.64y = -12
0.11y = -12 +64
y = 52 / 0.11
y = 472.7
y ≅ 473
The number of book sold is 473 books.
The total number of books is (100+473) = 573 books.
(-36x^4y+144x²y^6) / (-4x²y) =
36xy*(x³+4xy^5) / (-4x²y) =
-9*(x³+4xy^5) / x

See below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangular piece of cloth is a right triangle because 41^2 = 40^2 + 9^2 (By the Pythagoras theorem).
So the area of one piece = 1/2 * 9 * 40 cm^2.
The total amount of cloth required for one umbrella = 10 * 1/2 * 9 * 40
= 1800 cm^2.
The total cost = 1800 * 0.25 = Rs 450.
Answer:
x = - 5, x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )
x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)
The factors are 5 and 3, since
5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus
(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Y is directly proportional to X" can be rewritten as a mathematical expression of the form Y = KX
"K" is the constant of proportionality and must be determined from the initial information.
If Y = 2/3 when X=1/12means 2/3=1/12
K = 2/3÷1/12 = 8
Now that we know the value of K, we can use it to calculate the value of Y when X=1/2
Y = (8)(1/2) = 8/2=4
Y=4
