उत्तर

Radhika bought a car for Rs 2,50,000. Next year its price decreased by 10% and further next year it decreased by 12%. In the two years overall decrease per cent in the price of the car is 20.8%.

Explanation:

Radhika bought a car for Rs. 250000.

Cost price of a car = Rs. 250000

Its price decreased next year for 10%.

So, price become = `250000 - 10/100 xx 250000`

= 250000 – 25000

= Rs 225000

Further next year, its price decreased by 12%, then price will be

= `225000 - 225000 xx 12/100`

= 225000 – 27000

= Rs. 198000

In two years, overall decrease per cent = `(250000 - 198000)/250000 xx 100`

= `52000/250000 xx 100`

= `520/25`

= 20.8%

Hence, 20.8%

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.

Suppose a sunscreen allows 25% of the sun’s UV rays.

  1. What fraction of UV rays does this sunscreen block? Give your answer in lowest terms.
  2. Use your answer from Part (a) to calculate this sunscreen’s SPF. Explain how you found your answer.
