A person sold a desk for rs. 400 and incurred a loss of 5%
approximately at what price would it be sold so as to earn
a profit of 6%?
a) 420
b)478
c)446
d)432

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

1% of Rs. 400 = 4

10% of Rs.400 = 40

5%= 20

400+20= Rs. 420 was the price the person may have bought it for

To get a 6% profit, we need to add 6% on top of the price the chair was bought for by the owner

so...

420+ 5% +1%

so..

420+20+4= 444

The answer has come to 444 whereas it is not an option as a possible answer and I am unable to see a miscalculation in my working so if anyone spots a mistake it would be much appreciated. I have gotten a value close to one of the possible answers therefore I think the answer most probably should be "C" according to my working, however it may be  that the person typing in the question may have written the incorrect options.  Either way I have come to a conclusion and if it happens to be a typing error my maths was correct, if no, someone please reach out to me and help me identify where I have gone wrong, Thank you.

Write an expression equivalent to/that has two terms. 2x - 1/2 (10 - 4x)​

Answers

Answer:

4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this 2 terms, we'll have to first identify if we have to distribute anything.

Since 10 - 4x is inside a parenthesis and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is beside that, we know that we'll have to distribute the expression.

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (10 - 4x) = [tex]-\frac{10}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]x = -5 + 2x.

Then, combine like terms:

2x - 5 + 2x = 4x - 5.

Remember, the coefficient always goes before the constant.

Your answer should be 4x - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 11.5+ (4+ (-6.5)) is to be rewritten by applying the commutative
and associative properties of addition. If you use each property only one time,
which expression could be the result?
O (11.5+ (-6.5)) + 4
O 11.5+ (2.5)
O (4+ (-6.5)) +11.5
O (11.5 + 4) + (-6.5)

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex](4+ (-6.5)) +11.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Just exchange:

11.5 + (4 + ( - 6.5  ) )

⇒  (4+ (-6.5)) +11.5

After applying the property the expression would be  (4+ (-6.5)) +11.5.

What is Associative property?

Changes to the order of the addends have no effect on the sum, according to the associative feature of addition.

For example, ( 2 + 3 ) + 4 = 2 + ( 3 + 4 ) or (2 + 3) + 4

Given:

11.5+ (4+ (-6.5))

In Above case we can use the  Associative property over addition.

For this we just need to exchange the position of number along with their signs.

So, 11.5+ (4+ (-6.5))

=  (4+ (-6.5)) +11.5

Hence, after applying the property the expression would be  (4+ (-6.5)) +11.5.

Natalie is playing a game using a fair coin. Contestants win the game if the fair coin lands tails up. The theoretical proabaility that the coin will lamd tails is ? If 250 contestants play the game, about of them are expected to win

Answers

The theoretical probability of landing on tails is P = 0.5, and out of the 250 contestants, around 125 will win the game.

About how many contestants will win?

The coin has two possible outcomes, so if it is a fair coin, the probability for each of the outcomes will be 0.5 (this is the theoretical probability for a fair coin, where all the outcomes have the same probability).

Now, we know that a person wins if the coin lands tails up, and the probability of landing on tails is 0.5

Then, for a sample N, we can expect that about 0.5*N of the participants win.

In this case, the sample is 250, then we can expect that:

0.5*250 = 125

Around 125 of the contestants win the game

Answer:

X = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

So we will start with subtracting 7 from 3, which is -4.

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answers

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 150 = -tan 30

= -1/√3 = y/x    (1)

This is a unit circle so the hypotenuse = 1.

so sin 150 = y/1 = y

y = 1/2

So substituting in equation (1)

1/2 / x =  -1/√3

-x = √3/2

x = -√3/2.

The value of x in the unit circle is -√3/2.

Option B is the correct answer.

What is a circle?

A circle is a two-dimensional figure with a radius and circumference of 2pir.

The area of a circle is πr².

We have,

Since the angle is 150 degrees, we know that it is in the second quadrant, where the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Since the circle has a radius of 1, the y-coordinate is sin(150) = 1/2.

To find the x-coordinate, we can use the formula x = cos(θ), where θ is the angle in radians.

To convert 150 degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180:

150 degrees x π/180 = 5π/6 radians

So,

x = cos(5π/6) = -√3/2.

Therefore,

The value of x is -√3/2.

A savings account starts with $420. After 6 years of continuously compounding at an interest rate, r, the account has a balance of $1,300. What is the interest rate percentage (do not type % it is already there)? Round answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

18.83% (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous Compounding Formula

[tex]\sf A=P(e)^{rt}[/tex]

where:

A = amountP = principal (initial amount)e = mathematical constant ≈ 2.7183r = interest rate (in decimal form)t = time in years

Given:

A = $1,300P = $420t = 6 years

Substituting given values into the formula:

[tex]\sf \implies 1300=420(e)^{6r}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies \dfrac{1300}{420}=e^{6r}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies e^{6r}=\dfrac{65}{21}[/tex]

Taking natural logs of both sides:

[tex]\sf \implies \ln e^{6r}=\ln \dfrac{65}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies 6r\ln e=\ln \dfrac{65}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies 6r(1)=\ln \dfrac{65}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies 6r=\ln \dfrac{65}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies r=\dfrac16 \ln \dfrac{65}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies r=0.1883108054...[/tex]

Therefore, the interest rate is 18.83% (nearest hundredth)

A large box of crackers away 20 Oz if James needs 3 pounds of crackers for a party how many boxes of crackers should he buy

Answers

Answer:

James will need to buy 3 boxes of crackers for the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

remember: 16oz=1 pound

If James needs 3 pounds of crackers, and each box is 20oz, that means each box is a little over 1 pound. (1.25 pounds to be exact). So, we know that he needs to buy 3 boxes of crackers. This is because 20×3=60 ounces which is 3.75 pounds. Meaning, 3 boxes is the correct answer since we can't cut a box in half.
