A boy bought an article for £9. He spent £4
repairing it and sold it for £18. Calculate the gain
percent on his total costs. (to nearest %)
Help

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Profit % = 39%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of the article = 9

Price for repairing = 4

Therefore, Total cost of the article = 9 + 4 = 13

Selling price  of the article = 18

Profit = 18 - 13 = 5

Hence,

          [tex]Profit \% = \frac{Profit}{Cost \ price} \times 100\\\\[/tex]

                        [tex]= \frac{5}{13} \times 100\\\\=38.46 \%\\\\=38.5 \%[/tex]

Profit percent (to the nearest %) = 39%

If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial 6y 2 − 7y + 2, find a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 1 α and 1 β .

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2y^2-7y+6=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that [tex]\alpha[/tex] and [tex]\beta[/tex] are the zeroes of the polynomial [tex]6y^2-7y+2[/tex]

[tex]y^2-\frac{7}{6}y+\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

We have to find a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are [tex]1/\alpha[/tex] and [tex]1/\beta[/tex].

General quadratic equation

[tex]x^2-(sum\;of\;zeroes)x+ product\;of\;zeroes[/tex]

We get

[tex]\alpha+\beta=\frac{7}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha \beta=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha \beta}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{7/6}{1/3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{7}{6}\times 3=7/2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\alpha}\times \frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{\alpha \beta}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\alpha}\times \frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{1/3}=3[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]y^2-(7/2)y+3=0[/tex]

[tex]2y^2-7y+6=0[/tex]

Hence, the quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are [tex]1/\alpha[/tex] and [tex]1/\beta[/tex] is given by

what is yhe measure of side IJ?​

Answers

Answer:

Side IJ would be 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Triangle HIJ is dilated by a scale factor of 5, that means Triangle H'I'J' would have side measurements that are 5 times as much as Triangle HIJ.

They give you that side I'J' is 75

so you divide 75 by 5 and you'll end up with 15

Nathan is 1.55 meters tall. At 1 p.m., he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 38.15 meters. He stands 32.9 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of his shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter .

Answers

Answer:

11.26 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tree is about 11.25 meters.

What are similar triangles?

When the respective sides are proportional and the corresponding angles are congruent, two triangles are said to be similar.

Given that, the height of the person is 1.55 meters, the length of the tree's shadow is 38.15 meters, and the distance between the person and the tree is 32.9 meters.

Let the height of the tree be x.

Note that the scenario makes two similar triangles.

Since the ratio of the side lengths of similar triangles is proportional, it follows:

(38.15 - 32.9)/1.55 = 38.15/x

5.25/1.55 = 38.15/x

3.39 = 38.15/x

x = 38.15/3.39

x = 11.25

Hence, the height of the tree is about 11.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation

The rocket that carried the Curiosity Rover to Mars traveled at a speed of 21,000 miles per hour. What is this speed to the nearest mile per second?

1 hr = 3600 sec

Since an hour is 3600 seconds (i.e., 60 x 60), you simply need to divide that number by 3600

→ 21000 mph = 21000 ÷ 3600 mps = 5 5/6 mps →

What is the value of k?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the inside angles of a triangle add up to 180°

and also that the angle 115° is the other part of a 180° total

180=115+y

180-115 =65

then the inside angle at Y  is 65°

add the three inside (interior of the triangle) angles up

180= 65 + (4k+5) + (6k+10)

180 = 65 + 10k + 15

180 = 80 + 10k

100  = 10k

10 = k

Hello there ,

The answer to this equation would be:

A=.50j+9

Step-by-step explanation:

this answer should be correct because he started with 9,

and he is selling each cup (j) for 0.50

Let me show you an example:

Ok lets say he sold 10 (j) cups:

you would replace the (j) with the 10

A=0.50(10)+6

A=5+6

A=11 and he would have $11

but that just an example so the real answer to your question is:

A=.50j+9

The area of a wall in a house is 10.37 square metres. If a can of paint covers 3.1 square metres, how many cans of paint are needed to paint the wall?

Answers

Answer:

4 cans of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the area of the wall and divide by the area that the can of pain will cover

10.37 / 3.1

3.34516129 cans

We need to round up to make sure we buy enough cans of paint

4 cans of paint

We can take area as,

Area = A

The required formula is,

→ A of wall ÷ A that paint's can will cover

Then find the no. of cans of paint that are needed to paint the wall.

Now use the formula,

→ A of wall ÷ A that paint's can will cover

→ 10.37 ÷ 3.1

→ 3.34516129032

→ 4 cans (by nearest value)

Hence, we need 4 cans to paint the wall.


You have a large container of castor oil. You have used 34 quarts of oil.
Fifteen percent of the castor oil remains. How many quarts of castor oil
remain?
co

Answers

Answer:  6 quarts

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

Explanation:

x = original amount of caster oil (in quarts)

Since 15% remains, this means you used 85% of the original amount x.

Note how 15% + 85% = 100%

So,

85% of x = 34 quarts

0.85x = 34

x = 34/0.85

x = 40

You started with 40 quarts of oil.

15% of that remains, meaning 0.15*40 = 6 quarts of oil are left over.

-----------

We could also solve like this

(amount used)/(amount total) = (percent)/(100)

34/x = 85/100

34*100 = x*85

3400 = 85x

85x = 3400

x = 3400/85

x = 40

So we end up with the same x value as before, and we follow the same set of steps at the end of the first section to end up with the answer of 6 quarts.
