after allowing 15% discount on the price of an article and 13% bat was live and the remaining amount in the price of article becomes 13447 find the market price of an article​

Answers

Answer:

14000

Explaination:

spwithvat = sp without vat + 13% of sp without vat

let, sp without vat be x.

sp with vat= x + 13% of x.

or, 13447 = x + 13/100 × x

or, 1344700 = 113x

or, x= 1344700/113

x = 11900

Let, mp be y.

sp with vat = mp - 15% of mp

or, 11900 = y - 15/100 × y

or, 1190000 = 85y

or, y= 1190000/85

y= 14000

Write the percent of free space on the computer as a decimal . Volume capacity free space%free space(c:)150GB 60GB 40%

Answers

Answer:

Here we know that:

Volume capacity = 150 GB

Free space = 60GB

Here we know that 150 GB represents the 100%, then which percentage represents the 60 GB of free space?

Well, we can write:

60 GB = X

150 GB = 100%

Now we can take the quotient between these two equations:

(60GB/150GB) = X/(100%)

Now we can solve this for X

(60GB/150GB)*(100%) = X = 0.4*100% = 40%

A right circular cylinder has a base radius of 6 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. What is the volume of this cylinder? A. B. C. D.

Answers

Answer: [tex]432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}[/tex] or [tex]1356.48\text{cubic centimeters}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of right circular cylinder = [tex]\pi r^2 h[/tex]

Given: Radius = 6 centimeters

Height = 12 centimeters

Then, the volume of this cylinder = [tex]\pi (6)^2 \times (12)= 432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}[/tex]

Hence, the volume of this cylinder = [tex]432\pi \text{ cubic centimeters}[/tex]

At [tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]

The volume of this cylinder[tex]=432\times3.14=1356.48\text{cubic centimeters}[/tex]

find the gradient of a line that is perpendicular to 8y+4x=5​

Answers

Answer:

gradient = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c the y- intercept )

Given

8y + 4x = 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8y = - 4x + 5 ( divide the terms by 8 )

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Given a line with gradient m then the gradient of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} }[/tex] = 2

2 is the gradient of a line that is perpendicular to 8y+4x=5​

What is slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane

The slope of line can also be called ad gradient of a line.

The standard form of line or slope intercept form of a line is given by

y=mx+c

where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept.

The given equation of line is  8y+4x=5​

We need to convert the equation of line to Slope intercept form

8y=5-4x

Divide both sides by 8

y=5/8-4/8x

y=-1/2x+5/8

So m is -1/2.

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if m₁m₂ =-1

if m₁=-1/2

then we need to calculate m₂

-1/2m₂=-1

m₂=2

Hence gradient of a line that is perpendicular to 8y+4x=5​ is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the tallest conifer = [tex]9\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches

Height of the shortest conifer = 6 + measure of one segment on the number line

Measure of one segment on the number line = [tex]\frac{6\frac{1}{2}-6}{2}[/tex]

                                                                           = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}[/tex]

                                                                           = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, height of the shortest conifer = 6 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

                                                                    = [tex]6\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Difference in tallest and shortest conifer = [tex]9\frac{1}{2}- 6\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

                                                                    = (9 - 6) + [tex](\frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{4})[/tex]

                                                                    = 3 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

what is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y=2/3x+7 fully simplify your answer

Answers

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When a line is parallel to another, it means that there are never going to be any solutions(they won't ever intersect each other.) To do so, the slope of the lines have to be the same. It doesn't matter what the y-intercept is.

So the slope of the second line is going to be the same as the first line: 2/3

Answers

Answer:

80 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is :

1/3 * base * height

Height = 10

The base is : the area of the triangle :

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Base = 6 inches ; height of triangle = 8 inches

Area of triangle = 1/2 * 6 * 8 = 24 inches

Base of pyramid = Area of triangle

Therefore ;

Volume of pyramid = 1/3 * 24 * 10

Volume of pyramid = 8 * 10

Cubic inches of space to fill = 80 in³

Zane and his favorite geometry student, , have just set sail for a day of fun on lake Erie. A spring squall quickly forms and catches you off guard, leaving you adrift on the lake. Zane suddenly discovers he has an irrational fear of water and is reduced to hugging the mast. You hear Sherman barking from the top of a lighthouse to help guide you to shore. In order to save Zane and yourself, you must calculate how far away you are from this lighthouse. Using a range finder, you expertly measure the distance from the sailboat to the top of the lighthouse at 350 yards.

angle B is 40 degrees.

(a) Based on the above information, find the distance across the water from the sailboat to the island

where the lighthouse is standing. You can only use trigonometry to solve. You must show all work for

credit. Round your answer to the nearest whole number if needed.

(b)Calculate the height of the lighthouse. You can only use trigonometry or Pythagorean Theorem to

solve.

Answers

Water is the Adjacent of this right triangle. 350 yards is the length of the Hypotenuse. We have given angle B, 40 degrees.

_________________________________________________________

According to SOH CAH TOA, we use CAH (cosineΘ = adjacent/hypotenuse).

Θ = 40hyoptenuse = 350adjacent = x

cosine40 = x/350

[multiply both sides by 350]

350 · cosine40 = x

[put calculator in degree mode]

x ≈ 268 yards

So, the distance across the water from sailboat to the island is 268 yards.

_________________________________________________________

Let's use pythagorean theorem since we already know the adjacent and hypotenuse to find the opposite (opposite is also known as height).

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = ? (opposite or height)b = 268 (adjacent)c = 350 (hypotenuse)

a^2 + (268)^2 = (350)^2

a^2 + 71824 = 122500

a^2 = 122500 - 71824

a^2 = 50676

[square both sides]

[tex]\sqrt{a^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{50676}[/tex]

a = [tex]\sqrt{50676}[/tex]

a ≈ 225

So, the height, opposite, of the lighthouse is 225 yards.

Divide both sides by 5

Now solve for y by replacing x with 3:

Y = 2(3)-5 = 6-5 = 1

Y = -3(3)+ 10 = -9+ 10 = 1
