Answers

Answer 1

Given:

A  merchant bought 12 boxes of eggs containing 10 eggs each at the rate of Rs 50 per box.

He spent Rs 40 on transportation.

He sold the eggs at rs 12 per pair.

To find:

The gain or loss percentage.

Solution:

The cost of 1 box of eggs is Rs. 50. So, the cost of 12 boxes of eggs is:

[tex]12\times 50=600[/tex]

Number of eggs in 12 boxes is:

[tex]12\times 10=120[/tex]

He spent Rs 40 on transportation. So, total cost of 12 boxes of eggs is:

[tex]600+40=640[/tex]

Cost of each egg is:

[tex]\dfrac{640}{120}=\dfrac{16}{3}[/tex]

He sold the eggs at Rs 12 per pair. It means the selling price of two eggs is Rs 12. So, the selling price of each egg is:

[tex]\dfrac{12}{2}=6[/tex]

We need to find the gain or loss percentage.

Since [tex]\dfrac{16}{3}<6[/tex] it means the selling price is greater than the cost price, therefore it is gain.

The gain percent is:

[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{S.P.-C.P.}{C.P.}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{6-\dfrac{16}{3}}{\dfrac{16}{3}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{\dfrac{18-16}{3}}{\dfrac{16}{3}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{2}{16}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Gain\%=12.5\%[/tex]

Therefore, the gain percent is 12.5%.

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the shape is 560 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the figure, we need to multiply the base area by the height of the figure

mathematically, we have the base area as a rectangular shape and its area is the product of its side lengths

We have this as 8 ft * 10 ft = 80 ft^2

So multiplying this by the height which is 7 ft, we have this as;

7 ft * 80 ft^2 = 560 ft^3

Answer:

4^11

Step-by-step explanation:

[(4^3)(4^4)]÷(4^1+4^-4)

using laws of indices

(4^3)(4^4)=4^(3+4)

=4^7

(4^1 +4^-4)=4^(1-4)

=4^-3

4^7/4^-3,recalling about laws of indices if the exponentials are dividiy ,you subtract the powers give their base is equal

4^7/4^-3=4^(7-(-3)

=4^(7+3)

=4^11

The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of the circle, r = 8 cm

The area of the sector, [tex]A=56\pi \ cm^2[/tex]

We need to find the measure of the sentral angle. The formula for the area of a sector is given by :

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2} r^2\theta[/tex]

Where

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the central angle

Substitute all the values,

[tex]\theta=\dfrac{2A}{r^2}\\\\\theta=\dfrac{2\times 56\pi }{8^2}\\\\\theta=\dfrac{7\pi}{4}\ rad[/tex]

So, the correct option is (b).

Answers

Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent total time when both containers to have the same amount of water.

the equation to represent container A = 200 + 6x

the equation to represent container B = 500 - 6x

Because both containers would have the same amount of water,  the two equations would be equal to each other

200 + 6x = 500 - 6x

x = 300/12
