A man bought 250 electric lanterns in the united States of America for $5000. he sold them them in lagos at 1,920 naira each. at the time of his journey back to USA, the exchange rate was #96 to dollar 1. if selling at the lanterns at 1920 naira each, he made a profit of 20% cal the exchange rate the time he bought the lantern
2. how much in dollar will the sales amount to the of his journey back to USA ​

4166.67$

Step-by-step explanation:

1920 x 250 = amount

Amount = 120%

Cost price = 100%

1920 x 250= 120%

Cost price = 100%

Cross multiply and divide both side by 120

1920 x 250 x 100/120 = price

Exchange rate = cost in #/cost in $

= (1920 x 250 x 5/6)/(5000)

= (96 x 5/6) = 16 x 5= 80

Exchange rate then was 80 to 1$

The sales will be 400000/96 = 4166.67$

1. $1:#80

2.$5000

Step-by-step explanation:

ok... lots of moving parts here

$5000 / 250 = $20 per lantern.

x (1 + .2) = 1920

x = 1600

$5000 : (1600*250)

$5,000:#400,000

c

sales back to the us at $1:#96

1920*250 = 480000

#480000/#96=$5000

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
