the cost of 21 articles is equal to selling price of 18 articles. find the profit or loss percent.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If all the items are sold, the profit percentage is 14.28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of 21 articles is equal to selling price of 18 articles, to find the profit or loss percent the following calculation must be performed:

21 = 100

21 - 18 = X

21 = 100

3 = X

(3 x 100) / 21 = X

300/21 = X

14.28 = X

Therefore, if all the items are sold, the profit percentage is 14.28%.

calculate the interest paid when 4920 is invested at 13% p.a simple interest for eight years​

Answers

Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest:

I = P*r*t

I = interest

P = principle or amount invested

r = interest rate per period (period is a year)

t = number of periods

P = 4920

r = .13

t = 8

if you have questions, send a comment

Required solution :

Here we have been provided with the principal , rate of interest and time period for which the sum of rupees is invested.

Principal (P) = Rs.4920Rate (r) = 13% Time (T) = 8 years

Now here we know that simple Interest is calculated by the formula,

[tex]\bf{\boxed{\bf{S.I.\: = \: \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}}}} \: \red\bigstar[/tex]

Here in this formula,

P is PrincipalR is rate of interestT is time

Putting there values in the formula,

[tex]\longrightarrow \: \sf{S.I. \: = \: \dfrac{4920 \times 13 \times 8}{100} }[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow \: \sf{S.I. \: = \: \dfrac{492 \times 13 \times 8}{10} }[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow \: \sf{S.I. \: = \: \dfrac{492 \times 13 \times \cancel{8}}{ \cancel{10}} }[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow \: \sf{S.I. \: = \: \dfrac{492 \times 13 \times 4}{ 5} }[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow \: \sf{S.I. \: = \: \dfrac{492 \times 52}{ 5} }[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow \: \sf{S.I. \: = \: \dfrac{25584}{ 5} }[/tex]

[tex] \longrightarrow \: \sf{S.I. \: = \: \cancel\dfrac{25584}{ 5} }[/tex]

Handrail should be mounted 34 inches minimum and 38 inches maximum above ramps. Which inequality represents the required height?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]34 \leq x \leq 38[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

34 inches minimum

This means that x has to be at least 34, that is:

[tex]x \geq 34[/tex]

38 inches maximum

This means that x can be at most 38, that is:

[tex]x \leq 38[/tex]

A new car depreciates each year by 2.8%. When the car is 8 years old, it has a value of $42,547.24. Find the car’s original value.

Answers

Given :

A new car depreciates each year by 2.8%. When the car is 8 years old, it has a value of $42,547.24.

To Find :

The car’s original value.

Solution :

Formula of car depreciation is :

[tex]A= P( 1- \dfrac{R}{100})^n\\\\42547.24 = P( 1 - \dfrac{2.8}{100})^8\\\\42547.24 = P\times 0.8\\\\P = \dfrac{42547.24}{0.8}\\\\P = \$53184.05[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

so first we need two triangle angles to get our measurement and we know straight lines add up to 180 so

180-123=57

57+69(other angle)=126

all triangle angles add up to 180 so subtract the two other angles to get your result

[tex]AB = \sqrt{(6--2)^2 + (2-4)^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{68}\\\\BC = \sqrt{(1-6)^2 + (-1-2)^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{34}\\\\AC= \sqrt{(1--2)^2 + (-1-4)^2}} = \sqrt{3^2 + 5^2 } = \sqrt{34}[/tex]

b) The sample proportion is 0.6710.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

An airline promotion to business travelers is based on the assumption that no more than two-thirds of business travelers use a laptop computer on overnight business trips.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is two-thirds or less, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \leq \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of more than two-thirds, that is:

[tex]H_1: p > \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

b. What is the sample proportion from an American Express-sponsored survey that found 359 of 535 business travelers use a laptop computer on overnight business trips (to 4 decimals)?

359 out of 535 is 359/535 = 0.6710.

The sample proportion is 0.6710.

An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1610 lb---10 passengers.​ So, 10 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1610 divided by 10 = 161 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 10 adult male​ passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 161 lb.​ (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 165 Ib and a standard deviation of 35 lb). Does this elevator appear to be​ safe?
The probability the elevator is overloaded is:____.

Answer:

Mean,

Standard deviation,

Number of male passengers,

[tex]n = 10[/tex]

Now,

⇒ [tex]z=\frac{161-165}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{10} } }[/tex]

      [tex]=\frac{161-165}{\frac{35}{\sqrt{10} } }[/tex]

hence,

The probability will be:

You deposit $200 each year for 10 years into a sinking fund that pays 6% interest compounded annually what is the future value of your fund

Answers

Answer:

FV= $2,636.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual deposit (A)= $200

Number of periods (i)= 10 years

Interest rate (i)= 6%

To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {200*[(1.06^10) - 1]} / 0.06

Let X represent the running time of a randomly selected student before training, and let Y represent the running time of the same student after training. Which of the following is true about the distribution of X-Y?a. The variables X and Y are independent, therefore, the meanis 34 seconds and the standard deviation is 10 seconds.b.

Answers

Answer:

b. The values X and Y are independent therefore, the mean is 34 seconds and the standard deviation is 50 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Before the training, the mean running time for the students to run a mile was 402 seconds with standard deviation 40 seconds.

This means that [tex]\mu_X = 402, \sigma_X = 40[/tex]

After completing the program, the mean running time for the students to run a mile was 368 seconds with standard deviation 30 seconds.

This means that [tex]\mu_Y = 368, \sigma_Y = 30[/tex]

Which of the following is true about the distribution of X-Y?

They are independent, so:

[tex]\mu = \mu_X - \mu_Y = 402 - 368 = 34[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2} = \sqrt{40^2+30^2} = 50[/tex]

This means that the correct answer is given by option b.

The values X and Y are independent therefore, the mean is 34 seconds and the standard deviation is 50 seconds.

What is the subtraction between normal variables?

The two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Before the training, the mean running mean  time for the students to runing a mile was 402 seconds with standard deviation 40 seconds.

That is the [tex]\mu_x=402 , \sigma_x=40[/tex]

That is the after completing the program, the mean running time for the students to run a mile was 368 seconds with standard deviation 30 seconds.

That is [tex]\mu_y=368,\sigma_y=30[/tex]

which of the following is true about the distribution of X-Y?

They are independent

Therefore we get,

[tex]\mu=\mu_x-\mu_y=402-368=34[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{\sigma_x^2-\sigma_y^2}\\\sigma=\sqrt{40^2-30^2}\\\sigma =50[/tex]

Therefore the option b is correct.

Let the probability that Jane makes money in a given week be p(j) and that Maria makes money in a week be p(m) then
