A dealer marked the price of a digital watch as Rs 6,000. She then allowed 20% discount to make 20% profit. If she increased the discount to 25%, by how much was the profit percent decreased?​

Answers

Answer 1

Profit decreased by 7.5%

Answer:

Solution Given:

Marked Price= Rs 6,000

discount =20%

Selling Price =M.P- discount% of M.P

=M.P(1-discount%)

=6000(1-20%)

= Rs 4,800

Again

Profit = 20%

Cost Price=(S.P*100)/(100+profit%)

= (4800*100)/(100+20%)

= Rs 4,000

For discount 25%

Marked Price =Rs 6,000

Selling Price =M.P - discount% of M.P

=M.P(1-discount%)

=6000(1-25%)

=Rs 4,500

Profit = S.P- C.P= Rs 4,500- Rs 4,000=Rs 500

Profit %=Profit/C.P* 100%= 500/4000*100 = 12.5%

Profit % decreased from 20% to 12.5%

Profit decreased by 7.5%

Answer 2

Answer:

7.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked Price

Rs 6,000

Discounted Price

If the price is discounted by 20%, then the discounted price is 80% of the marked price:

[tex]\implies \sf Discounted\:Price =80\% \textsf{ of marked price}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Discounted\:Price =0.8 \times 6000[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Discounted\:Price = 4800\:Rs[/tex]

Cost Price

If the dealer makes 20% when selling the watch at the discounted price, then the cost price is:

[tex]\implies \sf Cost\:Price=\dfrac{100\%}{120\%} \times 4800[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Cost\:Price=\dfrac{4800}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Cost\:Price=4000\:Rs[/tex]

Discount of 25%

If the price is discounted by 25%, then the discounted price is 75% of the marked price:

[tex]\implies \sf Discounted\:Price =75\% \textsf{ of marked price}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Discounted\:Price =0.75\times 6000[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Discounted\:Price = 4500\:Rs[/tex]

Profit after 25% discount

[tex]\implies \sf Profit=\dfrac{discounted\:price}{cost\:price}-1 \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Profit=\dfrac{4500}{4000}-1 \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf Profit=12.5\%[/tex]

Therefore, the profit decreased from 20% to 12.5% which means the profit percent decreased by 7.5%.

The directrix of the parabola with equation (y + 3)² = 8 · (x - 3) is equal to y = - 5. (Correct choice: B)

What is the directrix of a parabola?

According to the given statement, we have a parabola of the form (y - k)² = 4 · p · (x - h), whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the x-axis. The directrix is always perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and therefore the equation of the directrix is equivalent to x = h - p, where p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.  

If we know that the equation of the parabola (y + 3)² = 8 · (x - 3), the equation of the directrix is:

y = - 3 - 2

y = - 5

By simplifying the fraction 10/28 ÷ 32/49 exists 35/64.

How to simplify fractions?

The first stage of dividing fractions exists to estimate the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Subsequently, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the fractions if required.

To find the reciprocal of the divisor

Reciprocal of 32/49 = 49/32

Now, multiply it by the dividend, then we get

So, 1028 ÷ 3249 = 10/28 × 49/32

= (10 × 49)/(28 × 32) = 490/896

Explain what is meant by intercepts with the axes give examples of y and x intercepts

Answers

Intercepts with the axes are where your line touches the x or y axis. An example is a straight line, say, y=4x+2. In this case, the y-intercept is 2 because the line touches the y-axis at (0, 2). With y=mx+b format, the y-intercept is b. To find the x-intercept of an equation in y=mx+b format, set y to zero and solve for x. In a parabola, the x-intercepts would be the roots. An example of this is x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0. The roots here are (4,0) and (1,0). Hopefully this helped.

Answers

Answer:

  s = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 2-step linear equation, so can be solved the way all 2-step equations are solved.

Solution

Step 1

Identify the constant term on the side of the equation with the variable term, and add its opposite to both sides.

  [tex]7 = \dfrac{1}{6}s+11\qquad\text{given}\\\\7-11=\dfrac{1}{6}s+11-11\qquad\text{add $-11$ to both sides}\\\\-4=\dfrac{1}{6}s\qquad\text{simplify}[/tex]

Step 2

Multiply both sides by the inverse of the coefficient of the variable.

  [tex](6)(-4)=(6)\left(\dfrac{1}{6}s\right)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 6}\\\\\boxed{-24=s}\qquad\text{simplify}[/tex]

Alternate solution

Often, when equations contain fractions, you are advised to "eliminate fractions" as a first step. That generally means you multiply both sides of the equation by a suitable common denominator.

Here, the only denominator is 6, so the fraction can be eliminated by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6.

  [tex]7=\dfrac{1}{6}s+11\qquad\text{given}\\\\6(7)=6\left(\dfrac{1}{6}s+11\right)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 6}\\\\42=s+66\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\42-66=s+66-66\qquad\text{add the opposite of 66 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{-24=s}\qquad\text{simplify}[/tex]

You will note this requires the same number of steps, but you don't have to mess with fractions after the first step.

C = 3r + 15 is the rule for the total cost, C, where r rides are taken given that the total cost charged for a day of fun at Aussie World consists of an entry fee of $15 and a rate of $3 per ride. This can be obtained by converting the statements to algebraic equation with variables and constants.

Find the rule for the total cost:

Here in the question it is given that,

The total cost charged for a day of fun at Aussie World consists of

an entry fee of $15 a rate of one ride is $3

We have to find a rule for the total cost, C, where r rides are taken.

For one ride the rate is 3 ⇒ therefore for r rides the rate is 3r

We can convert the statements to algebraic equation so that we get the required rule,

⇒ The total cost consists of entry fee and rate of rides

⇒ The total cost = entry fee + rate of rides

⇒ C = 15 + 3r (from the given information)

⇒ C = 3r + 15

Hence C = 3r + 15 is the rule for the total cost, C, where r rides are taken given that the total cost charged for a day of fun at Aussie World consists of an entry fee of $15 and a rate of $3 per ride.

Answers

The statement that is true about the box plots is: D. The number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs of crackers.

What is a Measure of Variation?

For a data distribution that is displayed by a box plot, the measure of variation that can be used to describe the data distribution is the interquartile range.

What is the Interquartile Range of a Data Distribution?

Interquartile range, which is a measure of variation can be determined from a box plot by finding the value of the third quartile and first quartile, the finding their difference. The difference is the interquartile range.

Interquartile range = third quartile - first quartile.

Interquartile range for crackers = 85 - 75

Interquartile range for crackers = 10

Interquartile range for trail mix = 105 - 90

Interquartile range for trail mix = 15.

The bigger the value of the interquartile range, the more variation there is that exist in a data distribution.

Interquartile range for trial mix is the largest, therefore, the statement that is true about the box plots is: D. The number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs of crackers.
