The purchase price of a diamond ring increases by £20 when the rate of VAT is increased from 12% to 20%. Find the original purchase price of the ring

Answers

Answer 1

The original price of the ring is  £250.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

Given that, the purchase price of a diamond ring increases by £20 when the rate of VAT is increased from 12% to 20%.

Let the original price of the ring be x, then according to question,

120% of x - 112% of x = 20

1.2x - 1.12x = 20

0.08x = 20

x = 20/0.08

x = 250

Hence, The original price of the ring is  £250.

10 yellow, 6 green, 9 orange, and 5 red cards facedown. Once a card selected, NOT replaced.
a. P(two cards that are not orange)

b. P(two cards that are neither red nor green)

Answers

The probability of selecting two cards that are not orange, is 0.483 and the probability of selecting two cards that are not red and green, is 0.393.

In the given question we have to find the probability.

From the question it is given that,

10 yellow, 6 green, 9 orange, and 5 red cards facedown.

Total number of cards = 10+6+9+5

Total number of cards = 30

Once a card selected, NOT replaced.

a.) Now finding the probability of selecting two cards that are not orange.

There are total orange cards = 9

The number of cards except orange card = 21

Then the probability of selecting one card except orange = 21/30

Then the probability of selecting other card except orange = 20/29

Then the probability of selecting two cards that are not orange is

P(O) = 21/30 * 20/29

P(O) = 420/870

P(O) = 0.483

Then the probability of selecting two cards that are not orange, is 0.483.

(b) Now finding the probability of selecting two cards that are neither red nor green.

The total number of cards except red and green card = 19

Then the probability of selecting one card except red and green card = 19/30

Then the probability of selecting other card except red and green card = 18/29

Then the probability of selecting two cards that are not red and green card is

P(RG) = 19/30 * 18/29

P(RG) = 342/870

P(RG) = 0.393

Then the probability of selecting two cards that are not red and green, is 0.393.

Write and solve an inequality to find the values of x for which the perimeter of the rectangle is less than 122.
A rectangle has a width of x and a length of x plus 4.

Answers

The inequality to find the value of x for the rectangle is 2(2x+4) < 122 and the value of x should be less than 28.5.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

The perimeter of the rectangle is less than 122.

A rectangle has a width of x and a length of x plus 4.

Now, the expressions for the width and length of the rectangle are given below:

Width = x units

Length = (x+4) units

We know that the following formula is used to find the perimeter of rectangle:

2(length+width) < 122

2(x+4+x) < 122

2(2x+4) < 122

Dividing by 2 on both sides:

2x+4 < 122/2

2x+4 < 61

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

2x < 61-4

2x < 57

Dividing by 2 on both sides:

x < 57/2

x < 28.6

Hence, the inequality to find the value of x for the rectangle is 2(2x+4) < 122 and the value of x should be less than 28.5.

Answers

1. The Cost of Ending Inventory and the Cost of Goods Sold under LIFO, FIFO, and Weighted-Average, are as follows:

                                      LIFO           FIFO      Weighted-Average

Ending inventory          $425          $691                $573

Cost of goods sold      $492          $226               $344

How do the inventory methods differ?

FIFO (First-in, First-out) assumes that the physical flow of goods sold follows the chronological order of acquisition.

LIFO (Last-in, First-out) assumes that the cost of goods sold should be based on the latest inventory purchases.

The weighted-average method uses the average cost of goods to compute the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold.

LIFO:

Ending inventory = $425 ($917 - $492)

Cost of goods sold = $492 (12 x $20 + 12 x $21)

FIFO:

Ending inventory = $691 (9 x $11 + 17 x $20 + 12 x $21)

Cost of goods sold = $226 ($917 - $691)

Weighted Average:

Ending inventory = $573 (40 x $14.33)

Cost of goods sold = $344 (24 x $14.33)

Inventory Table:

                                   Units  Unit Cost    Total Cost

Answers

The price of one pear is $0.85

How to use Cramer’s Rule to solve the price of one pear?

Cramer's rule is one of the useful methods used for solving a system of equations. In this method, the values of the variables in the system are to be calculated using the determinants of matrices. Thus, Cramer's rule is also known as the determinant method.

Given that: John buys 7 apples and 4 pears for $7.25 and at the same prices, Hayley buys 5 apples and 9 pears for $10.40

We will use this given information to form equations in matrices form. Let a and p represent the prices of one apple and one pear respectively.

The equation is:

7a + 4p = 7.25

5a + 9p = 10.40

The matrix formed is:

[tex]C=\left[\begin {array}{ccc}7&4\\5&9\end{array}\right][/tex] ,   [tex]b=\left[\begin {array}{ccc}7.25\\10.40\end{array}\right][/tex]

Find the determinants,

D =  (7 x 9) - (5 x 4) = 43

Da =  (7.25 x 9) - (10.40 x 4) = 23.65

Dp =  (7 x 10.40) - (5 x 7.25) = 36.55

a = Da/D = 23.65/43 = 0.55

p = Dp/D = 36.55/43 = 0.85

Since p = 0.85. Therefore, the price of one pear is $0.85

The cost to produce x units of wire is C= 45x + 450, while the revenue is R= 70x. Find the interval where the product will at least break even.

Answers

The interval where the product will be at least break even equals to 18 units.

What is a break even point?

In accounting, the break-even point refers to the production level at which total revenues equal total expenses.

Given data

Cost is given as C = 45x + 450

Revenue is given as: R = 70x

In this case, the point of breakeven will be:

Cost = Revenue

45x + 450 = 70x

We will collect like terms:

70x - 45x = 450

25x = 450

We will divide both side by 25:

25x/25 = 450/25

x = 18

Therefore, the interval where the product will be at least break even equals to 18 units.

The temperature went from 13o C at 3PM to -5o C at midnight that evening.

Which statement best describes the rate of change of the temperature

during this period of time?

Answers

The rate of change of the temperature on the time interval is -2°C. This means that, in average, for each hour that passes the temperature decreases by 2 degrees Celcius.

What is the rate of change on the temperature?

A rate of change is defined as the quotient between the difference in some measure (in this case it will be the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature) and the time interval in which it happens.

Here we know that:

final temperature = -5°C

Initial temperature = 13°C

And this change goes from 3 P.M. to midnight, so the change happens on an interval of 9 hours.

Then the rate of change of the temperature is:

r = (-5°C - 13°C)/9h = -2°C/h

So for each hour, the temperature decreases by 2°C.

Answers

The constant of variation is 1.75 for every unit increase in x (weight), and the cost(y) value increases by $ 1.75.

What is the equation?

The equation is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.

The difference between two consecutive entries is constant, as we can see = 1.75

⇒ 7 - 5.25 = 1.75

⇒ 8.75-7 = 1.75

⇒ Slope(m) = 1.75

The slope represents the variable's rate of change.

y - 3 = m(x - 5.25)

y - 5.25 = 1.75(x-3)

y = 1.76x

Thus, the constant of variation is 1.75

This indicates that for every unit increase in x (weight), the cost(y) value increases by $ 1.75.
