We are given:
We need to find the percentage of discount.
Discount=MP−SP=1500−1200=300
Discount %=(Discount/MP)×100
Discount %=(300/1500)×100
Discount %=(3/15)×100
Discount %=(1/5)×100
Discount %=100/5
Discount %=20
20%
The percentage of discount is 20%.
20:16::30:X
Outer Product =Inner Product
20×X=16×30
X=16×30/20
X=480/20
X=48/2
X=24
Let's solve this step by step.
According to the question:
X×3/4X=10800
3/4X²=10800
So:
X² = 10800×4/3
X² = 43200/3
X² = 14400
√X²=√14400
√X²=√14400
12O
That number is 120.
We are given:
Volume of cube = Side³
18³=5832cm³
3³=27 cm³
5832/27=216
216 small cubes of 3 cm edge can be cut from the 18 cm cube.
We are given:
Let’s solve this step by step.
Then:
120/100×80=96
Z=96
X : Y : Z = 80 : 100 : 96
Now simplify by dividing all by4
20 : 25 : 24
20:25:24
This is the ratio of salaries of X : Y : Z respectively.
