After the mixing, 1lt of the mixture has 0.8lt of milk and 0.2lt of water. 1lt of milk costs Rs.12 so 0.8lt of milk costs 0.8 x 12 = 9.6
He sells the mixture at Rs.15,
so profit%=(15-9.6)/9.6 x 100 = 56.25%

As it is a right angled triangle so we know the hypotenuse must be 13 and 5 & 13 are base and height (in any order).
Area of triangle = 0.5* base * height = 0.5 * 5 * 12 = 30

assume the ratio 6:4 to be 60:40
boys taking lunch in canteen=60% of 60=36
Girls taking lunch in the canteen=40% of 40=16
Total boys and girls taking lunch in the canteen=52
Total students we assumed is 60+40=100
Therefore percentage of boys and girls taking lunch in the canteen=(52/100)*100=52%

Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet.
Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each.
The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?

Solution:-
Area of Square is 576 sq ft.
so, the length of side = root(576) = 24 ft

Since the fencing would be done on the perimeter, we would need that
formula is 4*side = 96 ft.

Number of Fence post needed = 96/3 = 32

1 Fence post cost = 32
32 Fence Post cost = 32 * 32 = 1024

Fencing cost = Perimeter * fencing cost = 96 * 4.5 = 432

Total Cost = 432 + 1024 = 1456

3*2+1 = 7
15*2+1 = *31*
31*2+1 = 63
63*2+1 = 127
127*2+1 = 255
255*2+1 = 511

given distance of the train along the wind is 695
and againt the wind is 498
and time = distance/speed
as we know that time is equal in both the cases hence equate
695/s1=498/s2———–(1);
where s1=speed of the plane + speed of the wind
and s2=speed of the plane -speed of the wind
given that speed of the wind is 21k/h
s1=sp+21
s2=sp-21
substitu in eq 1
we get the answer as 27.17(app)
