Henry purchased 3 items during a sale. He received a 20 percent discount on the regular price of the most expensive of the 3 items and a 10 percent discount on the regular price of each of the other two items. What was the total amount of the 3 discounts

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Combining statement 1 and statement 2 is sufficient

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 items purchased

Most expensive item=20% discount

The other two items=10% discount each

Statement 1: The average (arithmetic mean) of the regular prices of the 3 items was $30.

Assume:

The 3 items cost: $40, $30 and $20 respectively,

Total discount =20% of $40 + 10% of $30 + 10% of $20

=$8 + $3 + $2

= $13

Assume

The 3 items cost: $50, $30 and $10 respectively,

Total discount = 20% of $50 +10% of $30 + 10% of $10

=$10 + $3 + $1

= $14

Therefore, statement 1 is INSUFFICIENT

Statement 2: The most expensive item was $50

The discount for the most expensive item at $50 = 20% of $50

= 0.2*$50

=$10

But we don't know the price of the other 2 items, so we can't determine the discounts.

Therefore, Statement 2 is also INSUFFICIENT

Combining statement 1 and 2

1) The average (arithmetic mean) of the regular prices of the 3 items was $30.

So, the SUM of the 3 items = $90

2) The most expensive item is $50

So the OTHER 2 items sum up to $40

$50 item gets 20% discount and the other two items ($40) each get 10% discount

The discount = 20% of $50 + 10% of $40

=0.20*50 + 0.1*40

=$10 + $4

=$14

Combining the two statements is sufficient

Sudhir bought an almirah for RS 13600 and spent RS 400 on its transportation . He sold it for RS 16800 . find the his gain percent

Answers

Answer:

His gain percent is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to find the percentage gain of the business.

We need the following parameters;

The cost price which is the sum of the amount she bought the goods + the amount spent on transport

Using the values we have in the question;

The cost price will be;

13,600 + 400 = Rs 14,000

The selling price = Rs 16,800

Mathematically the percentage gain will be;

% gain = (selling price- cost price)/selling price * 100%

% gain = (16,800-14,000)/14,000 * 100/1

% gain = 2800/14,000 * 100/1 = 1/5 * 100/1 = 20%

find the prime factorization of 47

Answers

Answer: 47 = 1 x 47 since 47 is a prime
How to find it:

Start by dividing the number by the first prime number 2 and continue dividing by 2 until you get a decimal or remainder.

The prime factorization of 47 is:

47 is a prime number.

The exponent of prime number 47 is 1.

Adding 1 to that exponent we get

(1 + 1) = 2.

Factors of 47: 1, 47.

O A. Infinitely many
O B. o
O c. 1

Answers

Hi there! :)

Answer:

B. 0 solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 7(x + 2) = 7x - 10

Simplify:

7(x + 2) = 7x - 10

Distribute the 7 with the terms inside of the parenthesis:

7x + 14 = 7x - 10

Subtract "7x" and 14 from both sides:

7x - 7x = -10 - 14

0 ≠ - 24. The equation has no solutions.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf B. \ 0}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf 7(x + 2) = 7x-10[/tex]

Expand brackets.

[tex]\sf 7x+14 = 7x-10[/tex]

Subtract 7x and 14 from both sides.

Find the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence whose common difference is d=6 and whose first term is a, = 2.

Answers

Answer:

The 12th term is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sequence is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

d = 6

a = 2

n = 12

So the 12th term of the sequence is

A(12) = 2 + (12-1)6

= 2 + 11(6)

= 2 + 66

A(12) = 68

A random sample of 121 automobiles traveling on an interstate showed an average speed of 65 mph. From past information, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is 22 mph. The standard error of the mean is

Answers

Answer: 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of samples = 121

Average speed (sample mean) = 65mph

Population standard deviation = 22 mph

The standard error of the mean is:

Standard error of the mean(S.Em)

Standard error of the mean is the proportion of the population standard deviation and the square root of the sample size.

S.Em = standard deviation / √same size

S.Em = 22 / √121

S.Em = 22 / 11

S.Em = 2

C = 6π.

Next, we can set up a proportion to find the arc length of AQB:

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

3(x - 5)² = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

(x - 5)² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 5 = ± [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] = ± 4 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 5 ± 4

Thus

x = 5 - 4 = 1

x = 5 + 4 = 9

Solutions are x = 1, x = 9

(2)

2x² - 56 = 42 ( add 56 to both sides )

2x² = 98 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± [tex]\sqrt{49}[/tex] = ± 7

Solutions are x = - 7, x = 7

Answers

Answer:

B. y= -x^2 + 50x - 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Options given

A. y^2=4x^2 - 100

B. y= -x^2 + 50x - 300

C. x= -y^2 - 400

D. x^2= -6y^2 + 200

We are to find profits (y) function in thousands of dollars if the company sells x items.

We will use elimination method to eliminate the wrong options above in order to find the correct answer

Option A. y^2= 4x^2 - 100 is used to find the square of the profit function

Option B. y= -x^2 + 50x - 300 is used to calculate profit (y) function

Option C. x= -y^2 - 400 is for the calculation of the items x sold

Option D. x^2= -6y^2 + 200 is to find items x sold squared.

Since, we are required to find the profit (y) function, option A, C and D will be eliminated.

We are left with option B which is the correct answer to the question.
