Answer:
2% gain
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the shopkeeper bought the appliances at the indicated prices, and that gain is computed on the basis of that cost price.
Since the base cost is the same for each appliance, the percentages can be added directly to find the percentage gain on 8000. However, the shopkeeper's total outlay was 16000, not 8000, so the final gain percentage is half of that total.
gain percent = (-4% + 8%)/2 = 2%
_____
If you want to see the actual numbers:
Loss on VCR = 4% × 8000 = 320.
Gain on TV = 8% × 8000 = 640.
Total gain on 16000 is -320 +640 = 320. As a percentage, that is ...
320/16000 × 100% = 2%
3/5 = 0.3 * x
3/5 is 30% of x - This is how they match up from the word problem to a number sentence
So to solve it...
3/5 = 0.3x
x = 3/5 ÷ 0.3 = 2
Answer:
12 in squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the side on the bigger figure is 6 and the smaller figure‘s side is 3, that means the smaller figure is half the size of the big figure.
So.. 24 divided by 2 is 12
