A woman sold an article for 20.00cedis and made a profit of 25%.Find the cost price of the article.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost price = GHc 16.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price = GHC 20.00

Profit Percent = 25%

Cost price = ?

Formula for finding cost price =

[tex] \frac{100}{100 + profit \: percent} \times selling \: price[/tex]

Let's insert the numbers

[tex] \frac{100}{100 + 25} \times 20 \\ = \frac{100}{125} \times 20 \\ = \frac{4}{5} \times 20 \\ = \frac{4 \times 20}{5} \\ = \frac{80}{5} \\ = 16[/tex]

So therefore ; the cost price is GHC 16.00

A ladder that is 20 feet long leans against the wall of a building such that its base makes a 62 degree angle with the ground. Determine the height, h, that the ladder reaches up the wall. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

17.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A ladder that is 20 feet long leans against the wall of a building such that its base makes a 62 degree angle with the ground. Determine the height, h, that the ladder reaches up the wall. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

We solve using the Trigonometric function of sin

sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Opposite = Height = ?

Hypotenuse = Length of the ladder = 20 ft

Hence:

sin 62 = h/20 ft

Cross Multiply

h = sin 62 × 20 ft

h = 17.658951857 ft

Approximately = 17.7 ft

The image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph. The image crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. The point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola. Which equation can be used to model the image of the lens?

y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y =-\frac{1}{2}(x +2)(x - 3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x_1 = -2[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 3[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,2)[/tex] --- a point on the parabola

Required

The equation

First, calculate the equation from the zeros

[tex]y =k(x - x_1)(x - x_2)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x_1 = -2[/tex] and [tex]x_2 = 3[/tex]

[tex]y =k(x - -2)(x - 3)[/tex]

[tex]y =k(x +2)(x - 3)[/tex]

To solve for k, we substitute [tex](x,y) = (-1,2)[/tex]

[tex]2 = k(-1+2)(-1-3)[/tex]

[tex]2 = k(1)(-4)[/tex]

[tex]2 = -4k[/tex]

Divide by -4

[tex]k=\frac{2}{-4}[/tex]

[tex]k=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, the equation is:

[tex]y =k(x +2)(x - 3)[/tex]

[tex]y =-\frac{1}{2}(x +2)(x - 3)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

15c+70b[tex]\leq[/tex]112000

Step-by-step explanation:

Truck could carry 7000 pounds.

There are 15 ounce cans and 70 ounce bottles.

There are 'c' number of 15 ounce cans and 'b' is the number of 70 ounce bottles.

So, C number of cans can  carry 15C ounces

'b' number of bottles can carry 70b ounces

So, we can set up inequality as

DID THE SHOP MEET THE TARGET?⚠️⚠️

Answers

Answer:

No the shop did not meet the 65 mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the same thing as the average of the sales. So the first six months sales were 52, 82, 71, 92, 51, and 28. the average of these six numbers is 62.66667 which is short of the 65 mean.

52+82+71+92+51+28=376

take that number 376 and divide by the number of months (6)

376/6=62.66667

5 grams/metres squared = 50 kg/hectares

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to convert 5 grams/metres squared to kilograms/hectares.

We know that,

1 hectare = 10000 m²

So,

Step-by-step explanation:

First find 35% of $80. Multiply .35 x 80 to do this.

Find the area of the circle.​

Answers

Step by step in the picture

Answer:

153.86

Step-by-step explanation:

So first off, what is the formula for finding area of a circle?

Its [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]

We know that r(radius), is the distance from one point of the circle to its center.

In this case it is 7.

Note that in other cases, you might see a line going strait through the middle of the circle.

This is the diamater, and is 2x the radius. If you see the diamater, divide it in half, and you will find radius.

Now, back to the problem.

We know our radius is 7, so lets plug that into [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]:

[tex]\pi *7^{2}[/tex]

=

[tex]\pi *49[/tex]

=

153.93

So tecnically, this test is wrong. THe actual answer is .07 bigger than what they give.

However, it is the only possible answer, so it is correct.

Answer:

153.86
