A dishonest shopkeeper has two false balances. One balance weighs 10% more while buying the goods and other weighs 10% less while selling the goods. Find his gain
percent just by weighing,

Shopkeepers gain just by weighing is 22.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Assume that the shopkeeper bought x units of goods i.e. actual weight of goods.

As the balance used to buy goods weighs 10% more, he actually bought x×110100=1.1x weight units i.e. although the shopkeeper paid for x units, he actually bought 1.1x units by weight.

Now he has 1.1x units of goods, but for selling he uses another balance, which actually measures 10% less i.e. 1−0.10=0.9 units for each unit weight of goods sold.

So while selling 1.1x becomes 1.1x0.90=1.2222... units.

Hence, shopkeepers gain just by weighing is 22.22%

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

c. (3,2,6) is the answer.
