From the details we know that
a equals 3m
j is 2a
j plus a plus m equals 840

Since we have our variable values, we can start substituting them in:
2a plus 3m plus m equals 840
2 times 3m plus 3m plus m equals 840
6m plus 3m plus m equals 840
10m equals 840
m equals 84

A equals 3 times 84
a equals 252
therefore, the amount of apples Andre picked is pounds.

The marked price of an article is Rs.2080. After allowing d% discount and levying
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

13%

Detailed breakdown:

Information provided:

  • MP = 2080
  • Discount = d%
  • VAT = (d-2)%
  • Cost = 1997.84

Applying the discount:

  • 2080 - d% = 2080*(1 - 0.01d)

Including VAT:

  • 2080*(1 - 0.01d) + (d - 2)%
  • 2080*(1 - 0.01d) * (1 + (d -2)/100)
  • 2080*(1 - 0.01d) * (0.98 + 0.01d) = 1997.84
  • (1 - 0.01d)(0.98 + 0.01d) = 1997.84/2080
  • 0.98 + 0.01d - 0.0098d - 0.0001d² = 0.9605
  • - 0.0001d² + 0.0002d + 0.98- 0.9605 = 0
  • 0.0001d²- 0.0002d - 0.0195 = 0
  • d² - 2d + 195 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation yields:

  • d = 15

Therefore

  • VAT rate = 15 - 2 = 13%

Select all the lines that have a slope of 5/2.
Leona [12618]
A slope of 5/2 signifies that moving 2 units horizontally results in moving 5 units vertically. To visualize this, from any point on the line, shift 2 units right, and from there, move upwards until you intersect the line again. If the vertical movement is 5 units, the slope is confirmed to be 5/2. Option A indicates a slope of 5/2, B specifies a slope of 4/2, while C affirms the slope of 5/2. I can't clearly see the graphs represented in images D and E; however, E might have a slope of 5/2, which should be measured, and D clearly does not match the slope of 5/2, as it can be compared with A, demonstrating a significant difference, thus it can be eliminated.

Ann and Bill play rock-paper-scissors. Each has a strategy of choosing uniformly at random out of the three possibilities every
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

a) Ann has a 1/3 chance of winning in the first round

b) The chance of Ann winning for the first time in the fourth round is 8/81

c) The probability that Ann's first win occurs after the fourth round is 16/81

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Each strategy is played with a probability of 1/3. Given any strategy, there’s a 1/3 chance that Bill will choose the strategy that allows Ann to win. Consequently, the probability of Ann securing a victory in the first round (or any round) is

1/3 * 1/3 + 1/3 * 1/3 + 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 = 1/3.

Thus, the likelihood of Ann winning the initial round is 1/3.

b) The chances of Ann winning a round stand at 1/3; therefore, her chances of not winning are 2/3. This must happen three times before her first victory. Thus, the probability that Ann's first win occurs in the fourth round is

(2/3)³ * 1/3 = 8/81.

c) The first victory happens after the fourth round if she remains unsuccessful in the first four rounds, translating to a possibility of (2/3)⁴ = 16/81.

Zina [12379]

Answer: y = 2/5 --> y = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 5y = 2 represents a horizontal line at y = 2/5.

This means that the y-coordinate holds the value of 2/5 = 0.4 for any x-coordinate.
