The state government has a budget with them, from which either buy 50 pieces of medical equipment or 40 ambulances. They saved 10% of the budget for other expenses and bought 20 ambulances and with the remaining budget; they purchased pieces of medical equipment. What is the number of pieces of medical equipment purchased?
Answers
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Speaking orally,
Suppose they have budget of x Rs.
According to question they bought 20 ambulances which costs x/2 Rs. as 40 costs x Rs.
So, x/2 is remaining budget & 10% of x is already saved at end so, 40% of x = (4/10)x is used to buy medical equipment.
50 pieces cost x Rs.
So, in (4/10)x Rs, we can buy 20 medical equipment as (4/10)x*50 = 20
I hope, it's right, apologize for anything wrong as answered orally & fast.
Answer:
number of pieces of medical equipment purchased = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the budget be Rs x
As given in question, they bought 20 ambulances
from Rs x they can buy 40 ambulances
so from Rs x/2 they can buy 20 ambulances
50 % of x is used to buy ambulances
10% of x is saved
now the remaining budget = 40% of x (which is used to buy medical equipment)
No of pieces of medical equipment from Rs. x = 50
No of pieces of medical equipment from Rs. (4/10)x = 50 * 4/10 = 20
number of pieces of medical equipment purchased = 20
