Answer:

Rs64.00/kg  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determine the quantity of good oranges

Total oranges: 150 kg

Rotten oranges: 18 kg

Good oranges: 132 kg

2. Calculate the revenue from the good oranges

\text{Income} = \text{132 kg} \times \dfrac{\text{Rs80}}{\text{1 kg}} = \text{Rs10 560}

3. Determine the unit price of income

Revenue from good oranges amounted to Rs10,560.

The unit income based on 150 kg of oranges was

\text{Unit rate of income} = \dfrac{\text{RS10 560}}{\text{150 kg}} = \text{Rs70.40/kg}

4. Determine the original unit price of cost

Let x represent the original unit cost. Then

0.10x corresponds to 10% of the original unit cost and

1.10x represents 10% above the original unit cost

1.10x equals RS70.40/kg

      x equals (RS70.40/kg)/1.10 = Rs64.00/kg

The original unit cost was Rs64.00/kg.

Answer:

The cost is Rs.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Total oranges purchased:

  • 150 kg

Oranges sold:

  • 150 - 18 = 132 kg

Total revenue from sales:

  • 132* 80 = Rs. 10560

Selling price for 150 kg:

  • 10560/150 = Rs. 70.4

Cost price:

  • x + 10% = 70.4x*1.1 = 70.4
  • x = 70.4/1.1x = Rs.64
  • The cost price of the oranges is
  • Rs. 64

We aim to verify the assertion that generally, 10% of students repeat a course, leading us to this hypothesis setup: Null hypothesis: Alternative hypothesis. The most fitting choice for this scenario is: d) H0:p=0.1 vs. H1:p ≠ 0.1. For this case, the provided information includes: the number of students repeating the course, the selected sample size, and the estimated proportion of repeaters. We are testing the claim that generally, 10% of students retake classes, which will be validated through established hypotheses.

Which graph represents a reflection of f(x) = 6(0.5)x across the x-axis?
Inessa [12570]
The blue line depicted in the attached image illustrates the reflection of f(x) across the x-axis. To elucidate, the function f(x) is an exponential function displaying the characteristics: the y-intercept calculates as f(0) = 6(0.5)⁰ = 6; the multiplicative rate of change is 0.5, signifying a decay function (decreasing); and the horizontal asymptote exists at y = 0, defining the limit of f(x) as x approaches positive infinity. The reflection across the x-axis for f(x) results in a function denoted as g(x) = -f(x), leading to g(x) reflecting the features discussed including growth into the third quadrant while never intersecting the x-axis. Therefore, using these insights, it is feasible to sketch the corresponding graph across the x-axis.

What are the eight-digit grid coordinates for benchmark 86 (circled in red)?
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

An eight-digit grid coordinate allows for precision within 10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grid coordinates are designed to direct accurately to a specific location by using a map that includes equally spaced vertical and horizontal lines, each assigned numbers to outline a place. The intersection of these vertical and horizontal lines has unique identifiers and creates small sections called grid squares.

The precision increases with the number of digits in the coordinate; an eight-digit designation gives accuracy to the nearest 10 meters.

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Svet_ta [12734]
I will designate the hourly rate for weekdays as x and for weekends as y. The equations are arranged as follows:

13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70

This gives us a system of equations which can be solved by multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second by -7. This leads to:

52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90

By summing these two equations, we arrive at:

-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (dividing both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This represents her hourly wage on weekdays.

Substituting our value for x allows us to determine y. I will utilize the first equation, but either could work.

$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. To isolate y, subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40

Thus, we find that her earnings are $8.10 per hour on weekdays and $10.40 per hour on weekends. The difference shows she earns $2.30 more on weekends than on weekdays.
