workings please

ifisco: workings please

solve as a frustrum.Using small radius as 8 and big radius as 12.....8/x=12/x+20= small h.Big H=h+20. So u solve with the formular...1/3 pie R(big radius)squ(20+h)-1/3 pie r(small radius) squ h= option (E)....try n u will get that,on d road sry for nt showing proper workings.

Assuming;it was bought for #1 each.
Cost price =#30
Selling price =sp of 20PCs + 10PCs
I.e (20 * 1.16=23.2. + 10PCs * .96= #9.6)
#32.8

Profit= sp - cost price
=#32.8- #30=#2.8
2.8/30 *100= 9.33

I think one can download it from one's post-utme profile account directly?

Let us pray:
"LORD GOD of HEAVEN,thank You for making us alive this morning,thank You for your mercy and for the gift of Life. As we go out today,we pray that You have mercy on us, be our shepherd. In Your mercy,no evil shall befall us and may You grant us all our heart desires and in your kingdom,count us worthy In Jesus Name. Amen?
Goodmorning Sirs/Mas
