Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - A)8% B) 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let assume:

the cost price of the goods - $y.

the selling price of the goods - $x.

Given: The retailer sold at 4% discount, or 0.96x (100% - 4% = 96%). Since the goods were sold to make 20% profit, therefore it was sold for:

1.2y (100% + 20% = 120%).

Solution:

The refrigerator was sold at 13% VAT at Rs. 10848:

then,

=> 1.2y + 13%(1.2y) = 10848

=> 1.2y + 0.156y = 10848

=> 1.356y = 10848

=> y = 8000

Thus, the cp is Rs 8000.

The selling price is:

=> 0.96x = 1.2y

=> 0.96x = 1.2(8000)

=> x = 10000

The sp is Rs. 10000

For a profit of 15%, that is 1.15(8000) = 9200, the discount is:

(1 - discount)10000 = 9200

1 - discount = 0.92

Discount = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08 or 8%

B) Let C & M as cost price & marked price of the scanner machine respectively.  

(1 + 20/100)*C = 41400

or (6/5)*C = 41400

or C = (5/6)*41400

= 34500 (Rs)

(1 - 10/100)*(1 + 15/100)*M = 41400

or (9/10)*(23/20)*M = 41400

or M = (10/9)*(20/23)*41400

= 40000 (Rs)

Let R% as the reduction in the percent in discount  

(1 - 10/100 + R/100)*(1 + 15/100)*M

= (1 + 20/100 + 4/100)*C

or (9/10 + R/100)*(23/20)*40000

= (31/25)*34500

or 9/10 + R/100

= (20/23)(31/25)*(345/400)

or R/100 = 0.93 - 0.9 = 0.03

or R = 3%

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 8 cm more than its shortest side. The third side is 1 cm shorter than the hypotenuse. Find the three sides of ths is triangle.​

Answers

Answer:

hypotenuse = 13

shortest side = 5

third side = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sides a, b, and c, with c representing the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we can say that

a²+b² = c² using the Pythagorean Theorem.

We are given that the hypotenuse (c) = 8 cm more than the shortest side. Representing the shortest side as a, we can say that c= 8 + a. Then, the third side, which we can represent as b, is 1cm shorter than the hypotenuse, so c-1 = b

c= 8+a

c-1 = b

a²+b² = c²

One thing we can do is to solve for everything in terms of c and solve the third equation from there

c= 8+a

subtract 8 from both sides

c-8 = a

a²+b² = c²

(c-8)²+b² =c²

b = c-1

(c-8)² + (c-1)² = c²

expand

c²-16c + 64 + c² - 2c + 1 = c²

2c² - 18c + 65 = c²

subtract c² from both sides to make this an equation that we can more easily solve

c² - 18c + 65 = 0

To factor, we can find two numbers that add to (-18) and multiply to 65. Two numbers that work at 13 and 5, so we have

c²-13c-5c + 65 = 0

c(c-13) -5(c-13) = 0

(c-5)(c-13) = 0

Therefore, the hypotenuse, or c, is 5 or 13. Because a=c-8, if c=5, a would be negative 3. This is not possible, so c cannot be 5. Therefore, c=13, a=c-8=5, and b=c-1= 12

Question 10

Draw a 30-60-90 triangle template. Refer to the diagram below.

We have 1 as the short leg, 2 as the hypotenuse and sqrt(3) as the long leg.

Place the angle theta as the reference angle such that it's opposite the sqrt(3) side.

That allows tan(theta) = sqrt(3)/1 = opposite/adjacent

In other words, tan(60) = sqrt(3)/1

So theta = 60 is one solution. We add on 180 to get the other solution. So the other solution is 60+180 = 240

So tan(60) = tan(240) = sqrt(3)

Answers:  60 and 240

======================================================

Question 11a

sin(theta) = -0.8

theta = arcsin(-0.8) or theta = 180-arcsin(-0.8)

theta = -53.1301  or theta = 180 - (-53.1301)

theta = -53.1301  or theta = 233.1301

Add 360 to the first angle to find a coterminal angle counterpart.

-53.1301 + 360 = 306.8699

So the two approximate solutions are

theta = 306.8699  or theta = 233.1301

and those round to 306.9 and 233.1 respectively.

Answers:  233.1 and 306.9

======================================================

Question 11b

cot(theta) = 1.8

tan(theta) = 1/(1.8)

theta = arctan( 1/(1.8) )  or theta = 180+arctan( 1/(1.8) )

theta =  29.0546 or theta = 180+29.0546

theta = 29.0546 or theta = 209.0546

theta = 29.1 or theta = 209.1

Answers:  29.1  and 209.1

You want to make a nut mix that has almonds, cashews, and peanuts. Almonds cost $7 per pound, cashews are $5 per pound, and peanuts are $2 per pound. If you want to make a 10 pound mix with a $20 budget find the possible mix combinations of almonds, cashews, and peanuts. How many pounds of almonds should you use

Answers

Answer and explanation:

Assume Almond is a

Cashew is c

Peanuts is p

The system of equations satisfies this thus:

a+c+p= 10

7a+5c+2p= $20

The system of equations has three unknowns. Solving for the unknown variables here would yield parametric equations or dependent system where given x y z we may find x in terms of y and z in terms of x, in that form. This would give many results for our problem which may not be very accurate.

What is the Unitary method?

It is a method where we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple units and the value of multiple units from the value of a single unit.

First, let us make a note of the information we have. There are 5 ice-creams. 5 ice-creams cost $125.

Step 1: Let’s find the cost of 1 ice cream. In order to do that, divide the total cost of ice-creams by the total number of ice-creams. The cost of 1 ice-cream = Total cost of ice-creams/Total number of ice-creams = 125/5 = 25. Therefore, the cost of 1 ice cream is $25.

Step 2: To find the cost of 3 ice creams, multiply the cost of 1 ice cream by the number of ice-creams. The cost of 3 ice-creams is cost of 1 ice-cream × number of ice-creams = 25 × 3 = $75. Finally, we have the cost of 3 ice-creams i.e. $75.

Total number of classes = 9

Number of students in each class = 25

Number of teachers = 4

Number of chaperones = Double of teacher

Bus hold = 45 people

A total number of students.

= 9 × 25

= 225

A number of chaperones.

= 4 × 2

= 8

Total people = 225 + 8 + 4 = 237

Least number of buses required for trip = Total people / Bus hold

= 237 / 45

= 5.266

A=P(1+r/n)nt

Answers

Answer:

$121.81

Step-by-step explanation:

A=  4000(1+.03/365)^365

[tex]4000\left(1+\frac{0.03}{365}\right)^{365}=4121.81305\dots[/tex]

Total interest earned on Sandra’s card after 1 year is $4,121.81

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is defined as interest paid on the original principal and the interest earned on the interest of the principal.

A=P(1+r/n[tex])^{nt}[/tex]

Where:

A = the future value of the investment or loan

P = the principal investment or loan amount

r = the interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of compound periods

Given,

A=P(1+r/n[tex])^{nt}[/tex]

Sandra makes a credit card purchase for $4,000 that compounds interest daily.

P = $4,000

r =3%

t = 1 year

A=P(1+r/n[tex])^{nt}[/tex]

Substitute the values of P, r and t in the formula,

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 3/100

r = 0.03 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 4,000.00(1 + 0.03/365)(365)(1)

A = 4,000.00(1 + 8.2191780821918E-5)(365)

A = $4,121.81

Therefore, total interest earned on Sandra’s card after 1 year is $4,121.81.
