The marked price of an article is Rs.2080. After allowing d% discount and levying
(d-2)% VAT the cost of the article becomes Rs.1997.84. Find the rate of VAT?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

MP = 2080Discount = d%VAT = (d-2)%Cost = 1997.84

Apply discount:

2080 - d% = 2080*(1 - 0.01d)

Add VAT:

2080*(1 - 0.01d) + (d - 2)% 2080*(1 - 0.01d) * (1 + (d -2)/100)2080*(1 - 0.01d) * (0.98 + 0.01d) = 1997.84(1 - 0.01d)(0.98 + 0.01d) = 1997.84/20800.98 + 0.01d - 0.0098d - 0.0001d² = 0.9605 - 0.0001d² + 0.0002d + 0.98- 0.9605 = 00.0001d²- 0.0002d - 0.0195 = 0d² - 2d + 195 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation we get:

d = 15

Then

VAT rate = 15 - 2 = 13%

If B is the midpoint of AC, solve for x, and find the lengths of AB, BC, and AC.

Please show all work and not just the answers.

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

AB = 15

BC = 15

AC = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = ½ of AC.

AB is given as 3(3x - 1),

AC = 5(2x + 2),

Therefore:

[tex] 3(3x - 1) = \frac{1}{2}*5(2x + 2) [/tex]

Solve for x

[tex] 9x - 3 = \frac{5}{2}(2x + 2) [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex] 2(9x - 3) = \frac{5}{2}(2x + 2)*2 [/tex]

[tex] 18x - 6 = 5(2x + 2) [/tex]

[tex] 18x - 6 = 10x + 10 [/tex]

[tex] 18x - 10x = 6 + 10 [/tex]

[tex] 8x = 16 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 8

[tex] x = 2 [/tex]

[tex] AB = BC = 3(3x - 1) [/tex]

Plug in the value of x

[tex] AB = BC = 3(3(2) - 1) [/tex]

[tex] = 3(6 - 1) = 3(5) = 15 [/tex]

[tex] AC = 5(2x + 2) [/tex]

[tex] AC = 5(2(2) + 2) [/tex]

[tex] AC = 5(4 + 2) = 5(6) = 30 [/tex]

When you subtract for both of the ranges they are different numbers. So that's the second part. The numbers along the bottom are different too so that is the different distributions.

Answer:

The two data sets have different distributions and different ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the data for German male adult heights is skewed left, but the shape of the data for female adult heights is close to symmetric. So, the two data sets have different distributions.

Each data set has the same minimum height of 145 centimeters. However, the maximum male adult height is 220 centimeters, and the maximum female height is 185 centimeters. So, the two data sets have different ranges.

AA Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to prove AB/AE = AC/AD, we need to prove that the triangles are similar. The AA Theorem says that if two triangles share two congruent angles, then the triangles are similar. The given states that ∠ABE ≅ ∠ACD, which means these two angles are congruent.

For the second angle, both triangles have the angle by point A. These angles can be written as ∠A ≅ ∠A. These angles are congruent because of the reflexive property.

Because we have proven these triangles to be simliar, we know the proportion AB/AE = AC/AD is correct because corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

There are three numbers. The first number is twice the second number. The third number is twice the first number. The sum of the three numbers is 112.

Answers

Answer:

x = 32 y = 16 z = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the 1st number

y is the 2nd number

z is the 3rd number

The first number is twice the second number so

x = 2 y

The third number is twice the first number.

z = 2 x

Their sum is 112

x + y + z = 112

Plus in what we know:

x + y + z = 112

2 y + y + 2x = 112

3y + 2x = 112 Let's solve for y and subtract 2x from each side

3y = 112 - 2x  Divide both sides by 3

y = [tex]\frac{112 - 2x}{3}[/tex]

Now plug our answer back in to solve for x.

x = 2y

x = 2 ( [tex]\frac{112 - 2x}{3}[/tex] )

x = (224 - 4x) / 3    Multiply each side by 3.

3x = 224 - 4x         Add 4x to each side

3x + 4x = 224

7x = 224              Divide each side by 7

7x / 7 = 224 / 7

x = 32

Now we can solve for z.

z = 2x

z = 2 ( 32 )

z = 64

Now we can solve for the numerical value of y.

x + y + z = 112

32 + y + 64 = 112

96 + y = 112       Subtract 96 from each side.

y = 112 - 96

y = 16

Answer:

1st number = 36

Second = 16

Third = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 numbers

Let's call the second number g

Then the first would be , 2x g = 2g

Then the third would be twice the first = 2 x 2g = 4g

We add up all numbers and equate it to 112

2g + g +4g = 112

7g = 112

g = 112/7

g = 16

First number = 2g = 2x16 = 32

Second number = g = 16

Third number = 4g = 4x16 = 64

Therefore the numbers are 32, 16, 64.

A health club charges an initiation fee of $50. Members then pay $45 per month. You have $400 to spend on a health club membership. For how many months can you afford to be a member? Let n represent the number of months you can pay for a membership.

Answers

Answer:

8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we must first of all write the inequality that describes the problem.

Given that

1. you have a limit of $400

2. there is an initial fee of $50

3. monthly payment is $45

let the number of months be n

therefore

[tex]50+45n\leq 400\\\\45n\leq 400-50\\\\45n\leq350[/tex]

Divide both sides by 45 we have

[tex]n\leq \frac{350}{45} \\\\n=\frac{70}{9} \\\\n= 7.77\\\\[/tex]

approximately you are going to be member for 8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Population density of Rio in 2016 = 5377 people/km²

To obtain population density in people per square meter, we convert 5377people/km² to people per m²

Recall:

1000 m = 1km

Hence,

5377 people/km² = 5377 people / (1000²)m

= (5377/1000000)people/m²

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number then the other number is 2x + 9, then

x + 2x + 9 = 129, that is

3x + 9 = 129 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3x = 120 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 40

Thus the numbers are

x = 40 and 2x + 9 = 2(40) + 9 = 80 + 9 = 89

Even the proudest of the Inca nobility, claiming a descent from the same divine original as himself, could not venture into the royal presence, unless barefoot, and bearing a light burden on his shoulders in token of homage. As the representative of the Sun, he stood at the head of the priesthood, and presided at the most important of the religious festivals. He raised armies, and usually commanded them in person. He imposed taxes, made laws, and provided for their execution by the appointment of judges, whom he removed at pleasure.
