If N varies directly as M and N = 8 when M = 20 find M when N = 7 A. 13 B. 15 C. \(17\frac{1}{2}\) D. \(18\frac{1}{2}\)
Show Content
Detailed SolutionN ∝ M∴N = kM where k is a constant N = 8 when M = 20 ∴ 8 = k x 20 \(k = \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}\\ ∴ N = \frac{2}{5}M\\ If N = 7\\ ∴ 7 = \frac{2}{5}M\\ M = \frac{35}{2} = 17\frac{1}{2}\) |

A boy estimated his transport fare for a journey as N190 instead of N200. Find the percentage error in his estimate A. 95% B. 47.5% C. 5.26% D. 5%
Show Content
Detailed SolutionThe percentage error is \(\frac{error}{actual}\times \frac{100}{1}\%\\=\frac{200-190}{200}\times \frac{100}{1}\\ =\frac{10}{200}\times \frac{100}{1}\% = 5\%\) |
