A man bought two books for RS 1040. He sold one at a loss of 15% and other at a profit of 36% then he found that each book was sold for the same price. Find the cost price of each book.
Answer:
640 & 400
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of books: x and 1040-x
x sold at a loss of 15%= .85 x
1040 - x sold at a profit of 36% = (1040 - x) *1.36
x*.85= (1040-x)*1.36
0.85x+1.36x= 1040*1.36
2.21x= 1414.4
x= 1414.4/ 2.21
x= Rs. 640
Rs. 1040 - 640 = 400

For the following situation, identify the explanatory and response variable. Then discuss what reservations (think cautions) you might have about the results of the experiment. Asking “What if…” type questions may help.
Do the high, centered brake lights (which have been required on all U.S. cars since 1986) really reduce the frequency of rear-end collisions? Randomized comparative experiments with fleets of rental and business cars, done before the lights were required, showed that the third brake light reduced rear-end collisions by as much as 50%. After the lights were required the drop was only 5%.
The experiment is messed up. Business and rental drivers are usually much more careful in their driving patterns because the car isn't theirs. They are usually adults, experienced drivers who don't put themselves into risky driving situations. = Speeding, cutting off others etc.. It also didn't tell how much the cars were driven. There may have been a down turn in the economy and thus less business driving and same with the rentals. If they were used less after the installation then the study wasn't really valid. What was the price of gas before and after the instillation. Who did the study? Did the previous testers have any reason to skew the study? Did they own stock in the third light business? Was it the same people who did the study before who did the study afterwords? What was the average age of the drivers before and after? The study group may have aged and calmed down a bit more? What were the technology changes that occurred about the same time? Anti skid brakes, better material and tread designs for the tires, what about the design of the gages and their lighting. How about the window styles and size..larger windows mean better view and potentially less accidents. What were the safety aspects of the cars before compared to the cars after, were they the same makes and Models or did the rental and business learn that certain cars were safer than others and move to the safer Models? so many variables to consider but did the tester consider them all-probably not. Random studies study only a certain percentage of the total. Who's to say the second random study didn't get less experienced drivers to study? All good what ifs'.

Step-by-step explanation:
If the absolute value of x is 4, what is the value of x?
A) -16 or 16
B) -4
C) -4 or 4
D) 4
the correct answer is option C) - 4 or 4.
If the absolute value of x is 4,
| x | = 4
it means that x can be either positive or negative, but its distance from zero is 4 units.
This indicates that x can be 4 units to the right of zero or 4 units to the left of zero.
x = ± 4
Therefore, the possible values of x are - 4 and 4.
Thus, the correct answer is option C) - 4 or 4.
Both - 4 and 4 have an absolute value of 4, fulfilling the condition specified in the problem statement.

Answer:
y = -5/3x -7
Step-by-step explanation:
If lines are parallel they have the same slope m = -5/3. Just need to figure out the new y-intercept going through the point (-9, 8).
y = mx + b
8 = -5/3(-9) + b
8 = 15 + b
b = -7
Now use m and b to form new equation of parallel line.
y = mx + b
y = -5/3x -7
Line t has a slope of 3/5 line u is perpendicular to t what is the slope of line u
Answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] is the slope of the line
Step-by-step explanation:
When two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are inverse.
[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] becomes [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] because they are inverse. Just flip the numerator (top number) and denominator(bottom number).

does the surface in contact with ground affect the going motion of the car ?why?
Answer:
Yes, it does. The ground is bumpy and it creates friction acting against the car's motion.
(you can include my example too depending on what your teacher is looking for)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a fun one! Think about a ball rolling on a smooth surface, now on a bumpy sandpapery one. Which one do you think is faster? The smooth surface! This is because of this friction of the sandpaper which slows down the ball. On the other hand, the smooth one has very little friction. The same applies to cars.
The approximate z-score that corresponds to a right tail area of 0.45 is?
Answer: 0.1257
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]z_0[/tex] be the z-score that corresponds to a right tail area of 0.45.
We need to find [tex]z_0[/tex] such that [tex]P(z>z_0)=0.45[/tex]
From the z-score table, z-value corresponds for area of 0.45 is 0.1257.
That means [tex]z_0=0.1257[/tex]
Hence, the approximate z-score that corresponds to a right tail area of 0.45 is 0.1257 .

Find the missing angle measures. (2x-3),(8x) and(x+7)
Answer:
2x-3 = 29
8x = 128
x+7 = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180
2x-3 + 8x+ x+7 = 180
Combine like terms
11x+4 = 180
Subtract 4 from each side
11x+4-4= 180-4
11x = 176
Divide by 11
11x/11 =176/11
x =16
2x-3 = 2*16-3 =32-3 = 29
8x = 8*16 =128
x+7 = 16+7 = 23
