By selling a book for Rs.400 a student got two successive profits of 12% and 40% respectively. Then his total profit is
a.62%
b.50%
c.55%
d.56.8%​

Answers

Answer 1

The total profit made by the student is 56.8%

The correct answer is D

Given parameters:

final price in which he book was sold = Rs.400

the first profit made by the student = 12% = 0.12

the final profit made by the student = 40% = 0.4

To find:

the total profit of the student

To find the total profit made by the student, we have to find the initial cost price of the book.

The cost price of the book before the student made the profit of 40%.

Let this cost price = y

100%y + 40%y = 400

140%y = 400

1.4y = 400

[tex]y = \frac{400}{1.4} \\\\y = 285.71[/tex]

This cost price become the new selling price before the student made the profit of 12%.

The cost price of the book before the student made the profit of 12%.

Let this cost price = x

100%x + 12%x = 285.71

112%x = 285.71

1.12x = 285.71

[tex]x = \frac{285.71}{1.12} \\\\x = 255.1[/tex]

This is the initial cost price of the book

The total profit made by the student is calculated as;

[tex]Profit \ \%= \frac{selling \ price - cost \ price }{cost \ price} \times 100\%\\\\Profit \ \%=(\frac{400 - 255.1}{255.1} )\times 100\%\\\\Profit \ \%= 56.8\%[/tex]

Thus, the total profit made by the student is 56.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

When a polynomial f(x) is divided by 2x-3,the quotient is x^2-x+2 and the remainder is -1. Find the f(x)​

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In the division statement: m ÷ n = q + [tex]\frac{r}{n}[/tex]

m is the dividendn is the divisorq is the quotientr is the remainderm = q × n + r

Let us use the fact above to solve the question

∵ f(x) is divided by (2x - 3), the quotient is x² - x + 2 and the remainder is -1

f(x) is the dividend ⇒ m

(2x - 3) is the divisor ⇒ n

(x² - x + 2) is the quotient ⇒ q

-1 is the remainder ⇒ r

→ Use the rule above to find f(x)

∵ f(x) = (x² - x + 2) × (2x - 3) + -1

∴ f(x) = (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) - 1

→ Multiply the 2 brackets at first

∵ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = x²(2x) + x²(-3) + -x(2x) + -x(-3) + 2(2x) + 2(-3)

∴ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ - 3x² - 2x² + 3x + 4x - 6

→ Add the like terms

∴ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ + (-3x² - 2x²) + (3x + 4x) - 6

∴ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ + (-5x²) + 7x - 6

(x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 6

→ Substitute it in f(x)

∴ f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 6 - 1

→ Add the like term

∵ f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x + (- 6 - 1)

∴ f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x + (-7)

f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 7

Find the average rate of change of h(x) = - x ^ 2 + 3x + 3 from x = 2 to x = 6 .

Answers

Answer:

The average rate of change is

Δy ÷ Δx = -20 ÷ 4

Δy/Δx = -20/4

          = -5      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

[tex]h\left(x\right)\:=\:-x^2\:+\:3x\:+\:3[/tex]

Putting x = 6

[tex]h\left(6\right)\:=\:-\left(6\right)^2\:+\:3\left(6\right)\:+\:3[/tex]

         [tex]=-36+18+3[/tex]

          [tex]=-15[/tex]

Putting x = 2

[tex]h\left(2\right)\:=\:-\left(2\right)^2\:+\:3\left(2\right)\:+\:3[/tex]

         [tex]= -4 + 6 +3[/tex]

         [tex]= 5[/tex]

The change in y from 2 to 6 is

Δy = -15 - 5

    = -20

The interval from 2 to 6 has a width of

Δx = 6 - 2

     = 4

Therefore, the average rate of change is

Δy ÷ Δx = -20 ÷ 4

Δy/Δx = -20/4

          = -5

A farmer finds that if she plants 50 trees per acre, each tree will yield 80 bushels of fruit. She estimates that for each additional tree planted per acre, the yield of each tree will decrease by 3 bushels. How many trees should she plant per acre to maximize her harvest?

Answers

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let x be the number of trees.

F(x) = (50 +x) (20 - 3x)

F(x) = 1000 - 150x + 20x - 3x²)

F(x) = -3x² - 130x + 1000

Differentiating F(x) with respect to x;

[tex]F'(x) = \dfrac{d}{dx}( -3x^2- 130x + 1000)[/tex]

[tex]F'(x) = ( -3(2x)- 130(1) +0)[/tex]

F'(x) = -6x -130

Now; we set F'(x) to be equal to zero to determine the critical value;

-6x - 130 = 0

x = - 130/6

Differentiating F''(x) with respect to x

[tex]F''(x) = \dfrac{d}{dx}( -6x- 130)[/tex]

[tex]F''(x) = ( -6(1))[/tex]

F''(x) = -6 (<0)

Thus; by the second derivative, the revenue function F(x) is maximum when x = -130/6

Therefore, the number of trees she should plant per acre to maximize her harvest is:

50 + x = 50 - 130/6

= 85/3

[tex]\simeq[/tex] 28

Therefore, the number of trees per acre to maximize the harvest is 28

Dan's school is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69. The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets How much is a student ticket?

Answers

Answer:

Let's define the variables:

A = price of one adult ticket.

S = price of one student ticket.

We know that:

"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."

1*A + 6*S = $69

"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"

7*A + 7*S = $150

Then we have a system of equations:

A + 6*S = $69

7*A + 7*S = $150.

To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:

A = $69 - 6*S

Now let's replace this in the other equation:

7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150

Now we can solve this for S.

$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150

$483 - 35*S = $150

$483 - $150 = 35*S

$333 = 35*S

$333/35 = S

$9.51 = S

That we could round to $9.50

That is the price of one student ticket.
