Mr. Javier purchased a number of pencils for ₱180 and sold all except 6 at a profit of ₱2 per pencil. With the total amount received, he could buy 30 more items than before. Find the number of items he bought and the cost of each in pesos

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

36 pencils

[tex]Cost = 0.2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost Price = 180

Represent the number of items by x

This implies that the cost of each item is [tex]\frac{x}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = Cost + Profit[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = \frac{x}{180} + 2[/tex]

Since all but 6 items were sold, the total selling price is:

[tex]Total = (x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2)[/tex]

This amount can be used to buy 30 more items.

So, we have:

[tex](x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2) = x + 30[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 180

[tex]180 * (x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2) =180(x + 30)[/tex]

[tex](x - 6)(x + 360) = 180x + 5400[/tex]

Expand brackets

[tex]x\² + 360x - 6x - 2160 = 180x + 5400[/tex]

[tex]x\² + 354x - 2160 = 180x + 5400[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]x\² + 354x - 180x - 2160 - 5400 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x\² + 174x - 7560 = 0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x\² + 210x - 36x - 7560 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x(x + 210) - 36(x + 210) = 0[/tex]

[tex](x - 36)(x + 210) = 0[/tex]

[tex]x - 36 = 0[/tex] or [tex]x + 210 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = 36[/tex] or [tex]x = -210[/tex]

Since, number of items can't be negative, we have to discard x = -210.

Hence:

[tex]x = 36[/tex]

We can then conclude that, Mr. Javier purchased 36 pencils

Recall that

[tex]Cost = \frac{x}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Cost = \frac{36}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 0.2[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a part of a whole number, and a way to split up a number into equal parts. It is a number expressed as a quotient, in which a numerator is divided by a denominator.

For the given situation,

The fraction is given as  [tex]\frac{4\frac{1}{2} }{1\frac{1}{4} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{\frac{9}{2} }{\frac{5}{4} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]  

⇒ [tex]\frac{18}{5}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]3\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Thus from the above value a = 3, b= 3, c= 5.

Hence we can conclude that the values of the fraction are a = 3, b= 3,   c= 5 is the correct answer.

Just so that we have something to work with, the length of the longest day (June 22) in Acron Ohio is 15 hours 8 minutes and 9 seconds on the 20th of June of this year. The number we get won't be this accurate, but it will tell us if we have done it correctly. The tricky part is when to use the radians.

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 tan (40o 46 minutes)  I have assumed this is in radians. It won't work any other way. The measurement cannot be in degrees which will give a negative tan from the minus sign out in front. The cos being minus will make things even worse.

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 tan (40 46/60  )

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 tan (40.766666667)

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 * -0.074173405

cos(0.1309 H) = 0.032161588

0.1309 H = cos-1(0.032161588)

0.1309 H =  1.538629191

H = 1.538629191 / 0.1309

H = 11.754 which is no where near 15 hours, but it is what the numbers give.

I would suggest that you go to your instructor for the other two. Work this one out until you get somewhere near 11.7 hours.

Answer:

28 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that $42 was 1/3 of her total. So you multiply $42 by 3 and you get $126. You now divide $126 by her weekly allowance, $4.5, and the answer is 28.

1. $42 x 3 = $126

2. $126/$4.5 = 28

3. The answer is Sharon has been saving her allowance for 28 weeks.

Hope this helps!

-Jerc

Answer:

She has been saving her money up for 28 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If 42 is 1/3 of her money, then you would multiply 42 by 3 to get the full 3/3 so: 423=126

2. Next, you would divide $126 by $4.50 because that is the total amount of money divided by how much she saved up each week, so: 126/4.5=28 and that gives us the answer which is 28.

Celesta wants to go on a cruise in three years. She could earn 8.2 percent compounded monthly in an account if she were to deposit the money today. She needs to have $10,000 in three years. How much will she have to deposit today

Answers

Given:

Amount after three years = $10000

Rate of interest = 8.2 percent compounded monthly = 0.082

Time = 3 years

To find:

The principal value.

Solution:

Formula for amount is

[tex]A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest, n is the number of times interest compounded in an year, t is number of years.

Substitute A=10000, r=0.082, n=12 and t=3 in the above formula.

[tex]10000=P\left(1+\dfrac{0.082}{12}\right)^{12(3)}[/tex]

[tex]10000=P\left(1+\dfrac{41}{6000}\right)^{36}[/tex]

[tex]10000=P\left(\dfrac{6041}{6000}\right)^{36}[/tex]

[tex]10000=P(1.27783)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.27783.

[tex]\dfrac{10000}{1.27783}=P[/tex]

[tex]7825.76712=P[/tex]

[tex]P\approx 7825.767[/tex]
