Rajesh gave ½ of his provident fund to his wife, ¼ to his son and the remainder was to be divided equally between his two brothers so that each brother got Rs 10000. What was the amount of provident fund ?​

Answers

Answer 1
1/2 was for his wife so 1/2 was left
from the 1/2, 1/4 went to the son so 1/4 was left
1/4 was divided to two brothers which are 1/8 for each brother --> 1/8 = 10000
therefore 10000 *8 = 80000 = 100% of the fund
Answer 2
Answer:  Rs 80000

This is the number 80 thousand

==========================================================

Explanation:

1/2, aka 2/4, of the original fund was given to his wife and 1/4 was given to his son. That totals 3/4 since 2/4+1/4 = (2+1)/4 = 3/4.

In short, 3/4 of the fund is distributed between the wife and son. That leaves 1/4 of the fund for the two brothers to share equally.

Imagine a cake cut into quarters. Then cut each slice in half to get eighths, i.e. there are 8 equal slices. This means each brother gets 1/8 of the fund.

Since each brother got Rs 10000, this must mean the original fund is worth 8*10000 = 80000

Taking 1/8 of Rs 80000 will get us Rs 10000 for each brother.

----------------------------------

Checking the answer:

original fund amount = 80000

1/2 of 80000 = 40000 is the amount the wife gets

1/4 of 80000 = 20000 is the amount the son gets

That totals 40000+20000 = 60000 leaving 80000-60000 = 20000 leftover for the two brothers to share. Cut that 20 thousand figure in half to arrive at Rs 10000 for each brother. These steps help confirm the answer.

----------------------------------

Another method using algebra:

x = original amount of the fund

W = x/2 = 2x/4 = half of the fund = amount wife gets

S = x/4 = quarter of the fund = amount the son gets

W+S = (2x/4) + (x/4) = (2x+x)/4 = 3x/4

W+S represents the sum of the wife's and son's amounts.

We'll subtract this from the original amount x to find out what's left

x - (W+S) = x - (3x/4) = (4x/4) - (3x/4) = (4x-3x)/4 = x/4

This shows that 1/4 of the fund is left over after distributing to the wife and son.

The amount x/4 is then cut in half to get x/8 to represent the amount each brother gets. We're told that amount is Rs 10000

So,

x/8 = 10000

x = 8*10000

x = 80000

The original fund is worth Rs 80000

A rectangular garden has a walkway around it. The area of the garden is 4(2.5x + 1.5). The combined
area of the garden and the walkway is 5.5(4x + 4). Find the area of the walkway around the garden as
the sum of two terms.

Answers

Answer:

Area of Walkway = 12x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Garden = 4(2.5x + 1.5)  [Garden Area]:  (10x + 6)

Area of Garden and Walkway = 5.5(4x+4) [Total Area]:  (22x + 22)

Area of Walkway = [Total Area] - [Garden Area]

Area of Walkway = [5.5(4x+4)] - [4(2.5x + 1.5)]

Area of Walkway = [22x+22)]   - [10x + 6)]

Area of Walkway = 12x+16

A store sells tents,sleeping bags,and campstools.A customer buys a tent, 2 sleeping bags, and 3 campstools for 212$.the price of the tent is 5 times the cost of a campstool.the cost of a sleeping bag is 6$more than the cost of a campstool.find the cost of was just item

Answers

The cost of each campstools, tent and sleeping bag is $20, $100 and $26

let

tent = 1

sleeping bags = 2

campstools = 3

Total cost = $212

tent = t

sleeping bags = s

campstools = c

If

t = 5c

s = c + 6

Total = t + 2s + 3c

212 = 5c + 2(c + 6) + 3c

212 = 5c + 2c + 12 + 3c

212 = 10c + 12

212 - 12 = 10c

200 = 10c

c = 200/10

c = 20

t = 5c

= 5 × 20

= 100

s = c + 6

= 20 + 6

= 26

Therefore, the cost of each campstools, tent and sleeping bag is $20, $100 and $26

Answer:

Y-intercept: (0, -10)

X-intercepts: (5,0), (1,0)

Axis of symmetry: (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell what the y-intercept is by looking at the function. At the end there is a “-10”, which indicates that it’s the y-intercept.

There are many ways to find x-intercepts. You can factor the function, use the quadratic formula, or complete the square.

By factoring it, you get

-2(x-5)(x-1)=0

If one part of it equals zero, than the whole function equals zero.

So it can be split up like this

(x-5)=0

(x-1)=0

So...

x=5 and x=1 are the the zeros or (5,0) and (1,0)

Finally, you convert the function from standard form to vertex form. By doing -b/2a, you can find the x-coordinate of the vertex, which is the axis of symmetry. The answer is 3 or (3,0) because -12/2(-2)= 3.

I will mark brainliest if you are correct!

Answers

The value of csc C in fraction and in decimal form is as follows:

csc C  = 5 / 3

csc C = 1.66666666667

Using trigonometric ratio,

secant A = 1 / cos A = hypotenuse / adjacent

Therefore,

sec A = 5/3

sec A = 1 / cos A

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos A = 3 / 5

A = cos⁻¹ 0.6

A = 53.1301023542

Therefore,

∠A = 53°

∠B = 90°

∠C = 180 - 143 =  37°

cosec C = 1 / sin C = hypotenuse / opposite

cosec C = 5 / 3
