Answer:

Rs64.00/kg  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the amount of good oranges

Total amount of oranges    = 150 kg

Amount of rotten oranges =    18 kg

Amount of good oranges    = 132 kg

2. Calculate the income from  the good oranges

\text{Income} = \text{132 kg} \times \dfrac{\text{Rs80}}{\text{1 kg}} = \text{Rs10 560}

3. Calculate the net unit rate of income

The income from the good oranges was Rs10 560.

Based on 150 kg of oranges, the unit rate of income was

\text{Unit rate of income} = \dfrac{\text{RS10 560}}{\text{150 kg}} = \text{Rs70.40/kg}

4. Calculate the original unit rate of cost

Let x = original unit cost. Then

0.10x = 10 % of original unit cost and

1.10x = 10 % over original unit cost

1.10x = RS70.40/kg

        x = (RS70.40/kg)/1.10 = Rs64.00/kg

The original unit rate of cost was Rs64.00/kg.

Answer:

Rs.64

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Amount of oranges:</u>

  • 150 kg

<u>Oranges sold:</u>

  • 150 - 18 = 132 kg

<u>Money made:</u>

  • 132* 80 = Rs. 10560

<u>Selling price of 150 kg:</u>

  • 10560/150 = Rs. 70.4

<u>Cost price:</u>

  • x+10% = 70.4
  • x*1.1= 70.4
  • x= 70.4/1.1
  • x= Rs.64
  • Cost price of oranges= Rs. 64

Effectus [21]
Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.

2) Name the variables. 

c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies

3) Model each restriction:

i) <span>It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.
</span><span>
</span><span>3c + b
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒</span>

3c + b ≤ 12
<span />

4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)

5) This is how you graph that:

i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.

ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.

iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.

iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.

v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.

After all costs are split evenly, how much does Max owe Becky? Help please tysm!
raketka [301]
The question is Max owes Becky for the movie how much.. the pizza information is a distractor. 

Max has a coupon for 1/2 off a third movie ticket when 2 are purchased for regular price of $9.80

2 x (9.80) + 1/2 x (9.80) = 19.60 + 4.90 = $24.50 total all 3 tickets 

Since they agree to split the cost equally, divide total cost by 3
24.50 / 3 = $8.16 each 

The answer is: Between $8 and $10
