A shopkeeper allowed 10% discount on his goals
to make 20% profit If he sold a watch for
Rs.10,170 with 13 %. VAT, by what percent
is the discourt to be increased to make only
12% profit​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To make only 12% profit, the discount should be increased to 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The percentage discount on goods = 10%

The profit made from the sale of the watch = 20%

The amount the watch was sold = Rs.10,710

The percentage VAT included = 13%

Let the recommended selling price of the watch = X

Therefore, we have;

The price after 10% discount = 0.9×X

Which gives;

The amount the watch was sold = Price after 10% discount + Price after 10% discount ×VAT

The amount the watch was sold = 0.9×X + 0.9×X×13% = 0.9×X + 0.9×X×0.13

Rs.10,710 = 0.9×X + 0.9×X×0.13 = 1.017×X

X = Rs.10,170/1.017 = Rs. 10,000

The recommended selling price of the watch = Rs. 10,000

The profit was 20% of selling price which gives;

Profit = Selling price - Cost price = Rs. 9,000  - Rs. X = 0.2 × Rs. X

9000 - X = 0.2×X

9000 = X + 0.2×X  = 1.2×X

X = 9000/1.2 = Rs. 7,500

To make only 12% profit, we have;

12% of Rs. 7,500 = 0.12 × Rs.7,500 = Rs. 900

Selling price = Cost price + Profit = Rs. 7,500 + Rs. 900 = Rs. 8,400

Percentage discount from Rs.10,000 to get Rs. 8,400 is given as follows;

Percentage discount = Y%

Therefore;

Y = (10,000 - 8,400)/10000 × 100 = 0.16 × 100 = 16%

Y = 16%

Therefore, to make only 12% profit, the discount should be increased to 16%.

how to add fraction well explained gets brainliest

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is an example:

2/3 +4/5

Cross multiply

3 times 4 = 12

5 times 2 = 10

These 2 products will be added in the numerators

Now multiply denominators

3 times 5 = 15

Finally form them into a fraction

12+10/15

22/15

This method is not the original way to do it but its just how I do it quickly

Here is the original method:

2/3+4/5

Get common denominators

Multiply the first fraction (both numerator and denominator) by 5

2(5)/3(5) = 10/15

Now multiply the second fraction (both numerator and denominator) by 3

4(3)/5(3) = 12/15

Add those 2 fractions together and you should get 10/15+12/15 = 22/15

Step-by-step explanation:

In this fraction, 1 is called numerator and 8 is called denominator.

Let's say you want to add ⅛ and ⅞. Here, denominators are same, so you just add the numerator and denominator remains the same. So, it becomes (1+7)/8 = 8/8.

If the denominator is different you first make them same, by cross multipling.

Let's say you want to add ¼ and ⅔. Then you multiply the numerator and denominator of ¼ by 3 (because it is the denominator of the second fraction). So, ¼ becomes (1×3)/(4×3) = 3/12. The same goes for ⅔, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 (it is the denominator of the other fraction). So, ⅔ becomes (2×4)/(3×4) = 8/12. So, now you add 3/12 and 8/12 the same way you added ⅛ and ⅞ above. Add the numerator, denominator remains the same. So, answer is (3+8)/12 = 11/12.

write a equation of a line that has a slope of 5 and passes through the point (2,13)

Answers

Answer:

y = 5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 5, thus

y = 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 13) into the partial equation

13 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 13 - 10 = 3

y = 5x + 3 ← equation of line

it a cycle is sold for rs 17250 there is again of rs 2250. what is the gain percentage ​

Answers

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

profit=sp -cp

cp=sp-profit

=17250-2250

=15000

profit%= profit amount/cp *100%

=2250/15000×100

= 15

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \sf{ \bold{ \purple{15\%}}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

SP ( Selling price ) = Rs 17250

Profit ( P ) = Rs 2250

CP ( Cost price ) = Rs 17250 - Rs 2250 = Rs 15000

Now, let's find the profit / gain percentage :

Profit % = [tex] \sf{ \frac{profit}{cost \: price} \times 100\%}[/tex]

plug the values

⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{2250}{15000} \times 100\%}[/tex]

Alan travels eight and two thirds kilometers to get to school. He ran one and ten elevenths kilometers and walked the rest. How many kilometers were left to walk?

Answers

Answer:

4 and 34/63

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that he has to walk 8 and 2 thirds of an kilometer to school. so far he has ran 1 10/11 of a kilo.

To solve this you would have to divide 8 2/3 by 1 10/11.

you would have to make them into improper fractions so 26/3 divided by 21/11

your answer will be 4 34/63

Alan covers he distance by walking is   6+25/33 km.

what is distance?

distance is a scaler quantity which means it only have magnitude and no direction if any person or any thing moves from place A to B then it will show the distance between A and B

Given that Alan's school a distance is 8+2/3 km which is 26/3 km,

and he ran one and ten elevenths kilometers

means 1+10/11 = 21/11 km

and walks rest

let distance covered by walking be x

total distance for Alan school = distance covered by running + distance covered by walking

26/3 = 21/11 +x

x = 26/3 - 21/11

x = 223/33 = 6+25/33

Hence rest walking distance for Alan is 6+25/33

calculate the amount and compound interest on rupees 4000 at the rate of 8% per annum compounded annually for 2 years​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the compound interest we use the formula

C = A - P

Where

A is the amount

P is the principal

C is the compound interest

To find the amount we use the formula

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100} ) ^{n} [/tex]

where P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the period

From the question

P = 4000 rupees

rate = 8%

n = 2 years

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

[tex]A = 4000( 1 + \frac{8}{100} )^{2} [/tex]

[tex]A = 4000 ({1 + 0.08})^{2} [/tex][tex]A = 4000 ({1.08})^{2} [/tex]

A = 4665.6

The amount is 4665.60 rupees

Since the amount is found we can now find the compound interest

C = 4665.60 - 4000

C = 665.6

The compound interest is 665.60 rupees

The base of a solid oblique pyramid is an equilateral triangle with an edge length of s units. Which expression represents the height of the triangular base of the pyramid? Five-halves StartRoot 2 EndRootunits Five-halves StartRoot 3 EndRootunits 5 StartRoot 2 EndRootunits 5 StartRoot 3 EndRootunits

Answers

Answer:

The height of the triangular base of the pyramid is s√3/2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, what we are concerned with is to calculate the height of the equilateral-triangle base of the oblique pyramid.

From the question, we are told that the equilateral triangle has a length of a units.

Let’s have a recall on some of the properties of equilateral triangles;

a. All sides are of equal lengths. Meaning side s is the length of all the sides in this case.

b. All angles are equal, meaning they are 60 degree each.

c. Dropping a perpendicular line from the top vertex to the base length will split the equilateral triangle into two right-angled triangles of angles 60 and 30 each.

So to find the height of this triangular base, we can use any of the two right angled triangles.

Kindly recall that the properties of each would be angles 30, 60 and side length s

so to calculate the height h, we can use trigonometric identities

Mathematically, the trigonometric identity we can use is the sine( side length s represents the hypotenuse, while the height h represents the opposite facing the angle 60 degrees)

Thus; we have

Sine of an angle = length of the opposite/length of hypotenuse

sin 60 = h/s

h = s sin 60

In surd form,

sin 60 = √3/2

Thus;

h = s * √3/2 = s√3/2 units

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write it in simplest radical form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +3^2 = 4^2

a^2 +9 = 16

a^2 = 16-9

a^2 = 7
