Answer:

₹ 37500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price before VAT be ₹x.

$\therefore \: x + 8 \% \: of \: x = 40500 \\ \therefore \: x +0.08x = 40500 \\ \therefore \: 1.08x = 40500 \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{40500}{1.08} \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: x = Rs. \: 37,500}}$

Hence the price before including VAT of air conditioner was ₹ 37,500.

In a group of 1500 people, 585 have blood type A, 165 have blood type B, 690 have blood type O, and 60 have blood type AB. What

When calculating probability you need to remember that probability is:
something that you are observing divided by total number of participants.
The number you get is relative value(has value between 0 and 1) and if you want to get it in percentage (more clearly) just multiply it with 100.

In this case we are observing blood type B persons. Number of them is 165.
Total number of persons is 1500. Therefore our calculation looks like this:

165/1500 = 0.11 or the probability is 0.11*100=11%

You put $1200 in an account that earns 3% simple interest. Y= a (1 + r)t Find the total amount in the account after four years.

Hello!

To find how much money total will be in the account after four years, you need to use the function, $y = a(1 + r)^{t}$ , as seen above. In this function, a is the starting value, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time (in years).

Before substituting values into the function, we need to convert 3% into a decimal. Remember that all percentages are out of 100, so we divide 3 by 100 and remove the percentage sign, or move the decimal two places to the left.

3/100 = 0.03 | 0.03 is the interest rate.

With all the necessary values, we can find the total amount in the account. In this case, a = 1200, r = 0.03, and t = 4.

$y = 1200(1 + 0.03)^{4}$
