I = PRT....seeking T...rearrange......I / PR = T
I / PR = T
I = 720
P = 1000
R = 9% = 0.09
substituting values
720 / (1000)(0.09) = T
720 / 90 = T
8 = T <===
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:
Therefore
Response:
The number 40 can be found in Pattern B. Additionally, following the rule, each sequence will expand.
Detailed breakdown:
Let’s build each sequence. Recall that the guideline is to "add 15" to generate each sequence starting from the provided initial number.
Pattern A.
Pattern B.
Pattern C.
You can see that the number 40 appears in Pattern B. Moreover, per the rule, each pattern will show an increase.
