if their base is the same, the exponents must also be the same for the equation to be true.
It would be 16.5 because each one them adds with 5.9 in them
Answer:
13%
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- MP = 2080
- Discount = d%
- VAT = (d-2)%
- Cost = 1997.84
<u>Apply discount:</u>
- 2080 - d% = 2080*(1 - 0.01d)
<u>Add VAT:</u>
- 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
<u>Solving the quadratic equation we get:</u>
<u>Then</u>
#21 the answer is does √ 9^2 + 2^2
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
9^2 + 2^2 = c^2
√ 9^2 + 2^2 = √ c^2
The answer would be 168 :)
