belovedsamex:
okk i think i have discovered where the ERROR lies.
@Kentiknoki, d place u divided by 5 should not be by 5 but by 6. and when you do that you arrive at 20% markup margin as posted by my protesting friend @ eckersley .
pls check through ur solution again @kent....d place u said "this is d price charged for 5kg" it is not supposed to be 5kg but 6kg. got it? ok!

Then why claiming he's right when you don't even know the answer?

Kentnickole:
It was given. Check the OP's question...

No o. The question said find the ratio of a/9 to b/9. But you decided to use a/9 to b/8

eckersley:
I DISAGREE. GO BACK AND READ HIS POST. Kindly look at my post and see my working. IF 5KG OF Rice is for N20, the SP for a unit[1kg] will be N20 divided by the 5kg. Abi Maths headquaters for the moon don change aaam. why divide by the $5 AND NOT THE NUMBER OF ITEMS?

Let's assume he bought it at $x per kg, then 6kg = $6x,

20% profit means (120/100) * $6x = $7.2x this is d price he must sell the whole 6kg in order to make 20% profit ($7.2x)


Then you now divide with the price he sold them. $5 per kg which is

$7.2x/$5 = 1.44x showing 0.44 increment when compared to the initial price x per kg.

The question is very trickish though. Let him come n shed more light into it.

**Modified**
No o It can't work that way. Ken pls come n explain.

Kentnickole:
Ok here is d working:

Let x be the cost price; cost price of 6kg = 6X
With 20% of profit margin, SP = 6X x 1.2
This is the price charged for 5kg
SP of 1kg = (6X x 1.2)/5 = 1.44X ie 144% increase, hence 144%-100% = 44%

My rough working though.



No 2:

Given 8a = 9b and ab = 0;
The ratio of these numbers is [a/9]/[b/8] ; substituting in the ratio frm the question, u hv a = 9b/8; the ratio then is [9b/72]/[b/8]; dividing both sides by b and multiplyn both sides by 8, you finally hv 72/72 = 1


Hence:
1.) C
2.) C

Regards

pls how did you come about the bold?

eckersley:
I want to disagree with the OP concerning the purportedly right answer. In Kentnickole's answer when he was trying to find the unit cost, i.e 1kg, he divided by 5kg saying that's the price charged for 5kg. The question never mentioned 5kg, but 6kg. And we should take into cognizance the difference btw markup and profit margin. I STRONGLY stand by my answer being RIGHT except anyone or the OP can prove otherwise

He divided by $5 not 5kg

@belovedsamex, the 1.2 is gotten from the 20% profit.

Add 20%profit to the initial value then you get 120% of that value. Which is 120/100 = 1.2

@Ymodulus, pls continue with the review. i'm following you.

Lol...this bros dey vex o . Hope you've done your monthly clearance sha coz here in Edo state they're claiming they won't pay anybody that didn't do it.

cutiepie01: Pls,whats d clearance about?is it same with lgi registration?

You go to your ppa and collect a clearance paper indicating that you served there for that month, then you take it to the nysc secretariat in your local govt where you will submit it n be given a form to fill your name, ppa, account no, amount (19800), signature..
Here in Edo state it is stated on the posting letter that clearance is from 1st - 10th of every month, it now depends on the date your local govt chooses.

OP I think u're the only one using this phone here

Moderators pls move this topic to front page

Nice points there @Op.

Our govt is not really concerned about the education sector that's why it's like that. Most of the teachers in my then sec school are always complaining and the moment you start complaining of your job not good enough, it will surely affect your output. This is the reason they're not ready to go on a long term research since they are not motivated to do so. In order to supplement their salaries, they started introducing some unnecessary levies like pta, counterparts, dev etc. Most of these schools don't even have enough techers to handle these subjects and the ones available are not even good at what they are taking hence the poor performance of students in external exams.

The way forward:
They already have a union, let them make use of it, go on strike and request for a total overhaul of the education sector. The total percentage of budget being allocated to education is too small. Let them join hands NUT, ASUU, COESU, ASUP And others.
