A greengrocer sells melons at a profit of 37.5% on price he pays for it.What is the ratio of cost price to selling price

1 answer:

5 0

S-selling price
c-cost price
p-profit
p=37,5%
$\frac{s-c}{s}$ *100%=37,5% /:100%
$\frac{s-c}{s}$ =0,375 /*s
s-c=0,375*s /-s
0-c=-0,625*s /:(-s)
$\frac{c}{s}$ =0,625

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1 and $x^2+(-8)x=9$

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation $x^2-8x-9$

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is $ax^2+bx+c=0$

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant $D=b^{2}-4ac$

$D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100$

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

Now, substituting the values we will get

$x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1$

And rewritting the given equation by shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

$x^2+bx=c$

Sienna is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square. 3x2 + 9x – 4 = 0 3x2 + 9x = 4 A(x2 + 3x) = 4 What is the valu

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

I am going to show you the first steps to complete squares for the given equation: 1) Starting equation: 3x^2 + 9x -4 = 0 2) Add 4 to both sides => 3x^2 + 9x - 4 + 4 = 4 => 3x^2 + 9x = 4 3) Extract common factor 3 in the left side => 3 (x^2 + 3x). Now, compare with a(x^2 + 3x) and you get a = 3. Answer: a = 3.
