Zina goes shopping. She buys in the same store two scarves and three T-shirts for
49 euros. A week later, it was the sales: reduction of 1.5 euros on scarves and 2 euros
on t-shirts. Zina took the opportunity and for 40 euros, she was able to buy four scarves and five T-shirts.
What was the price of a scarf and a T-shirt before the sales?

THX FOR HELPING!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 42 euros

The price of scarves before the sale = -77/2 euros

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the items Zina buys from the store initially are;

Two scarves and three T-shirts for 49 euros

The reduction in the price of scarves a week later during sales = 1.5 euros

The reduction in the price of T-shirts a week later during sales = 2 euros

The items Zina bought for 40 euros at the reduced price of the sales opportunity are;

Four scarves and five T-shirts for 40 euros

Let 'x' represent the initial price of a scarf and let 'y' represent the initial price of a T-shirt, we  have;

2·x + 3·y = 49...(1)

4·(x - 1.5) + 5·(y - 2) = 40...(2)

Expanding equation (2) gives;

4·x - 6 + 5·y - 10 = 40

4·x + 5·y = 40 + 6 + 10 = 56

∴ 4·x + 5·y = 56...(3)

By multiplying equation (1) by 2 and subtracting the result from equation (3), we get;

4·x + 5·y - 2 × (2·x + 3·y) = 56 - 2 × 49 = -63

-y = -42

y = 42

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 42 euros

x = (49 - 3 × 42)/2 = -77/2

x = -77/2

The price of scarves before the sale = -77/2 euros

(However, if the had bought the 4 scarves and 5 T-shirts during sales at 70 euros, we get;

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 12 euros

The price of scarves before the sale = 6.5 euros.

The allowable total price for the reduced 4 scarves and 5 T-shirts is between 66 and about 82 for both initial prices to be +ve)

Your business has two branch stores. The recent physical inventory reports that the merchandise value for each store is: Store A $750,000, and Store B $580,000. The merchandise book value for each store is: Store A $757,000, and Store B $600,000. What is the dollar amount of shrinkage for each store?

Answers

Answer: Store A: 7,000 Store B: 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of shrinkage for store A is $7000 and for store B is $20000.

What is loss?

"If the selling price of an item is less than the cost price, then the difference between the cost price and the selling price of an item is called the loss".

For the given situation,

The merchandise book value for store A = $757,000

The merchandise book value for store B = $600,000

Based on physical inventory reports,

The merchandise value for store A = $750,000

The merchandise value for store B = $580,000.

The amount of shrinkage determines the loss and it is calculated by taking the difference between the values.

Store A = [tex]757000-750000[/tex]

⇒ [tex]7000[/tex]

Sore B = [tex]600,000-580000[/tex]

⇒ [tex]20000[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the amount of shrinkage for store A is $7000 and for store B is $20000.

Sequoia = 2 5/6 hours

How much more time did Honon spend on homework than Sequoia

= number of hours Honon spent - number of hours Sequoia spent

= 3 1/4 hours - 2 5/6 hours

The perimeter of a right -angled triangle is 72 cm . Its side are in the ratio 3 : 4: 5.Work out the longest length of the triangle.​

Answers

Answer:

The longest length is 30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is simply the sum of the lengths of its three sides

So, what we have to do here is divide the perimeter in the given ratio to get the side lengths

since 5 is the biggest of the numbers in the ratio, it represents the largest length value

so we have this as;

(3 + 4 + 5) = 12

So that would be;

5/12 * 72

= 5 * 6 = 30

About 525 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 5 in 8 chance of getting a consonant originally. You should try to find an equal ratio except with 840 as the second number. As of now it's      5/8 = ?/840

8 is a factor of 840 and if you divide 840 by 8 you get 105. If you actually think about it 105/840 would be an equal ratio to 1/8 so you multiply 108 by 5 to get 525.

find the area of ABCD
trapezoid ABCD ~ trapezoid EFGH
trapezoid ABCD: 20cm
trapezoid EFGH: 5cm

area of EFGH = 40 sq cm

Answers

Answer:

640 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the area of 2 similar polygons = the ratio of the square of their corresponding lengths

Thus:

Area of Trapezoid ABCD to Area of Trapezoid EFGH = AB² to EF²

Area of Trapezoid ABCD = ? = x

Area of Trapezoid EFGH = 40 cm²

AB = 20 cm

EF = 5 cm

Substitute

x:40 = 20²:5²

x/40 = 400/25

x/40 = 16

Cross multiply

x = 16*40

x = 640

Area of trapezoid ABCD = 640 cm²
