9999 + 8888 + 777 + ? = 19700

Correct answer: A

A
36
Correct
B
16
C
64
D
26
Explanation and memory cue

The sum of the known numbers is 6999 + 8888 + 777 = 16664. To find the missing number, subtract this sum from 19700: 19700 - 16664 = 3036. However, the options given (36, 16, 64, 26) do not include 3036. The question as stated is inconsistent with the options. The search results show a similar question but with 9999 instead of 6999, where the missing number is 36. Assuming the intended question was 9999 + 8888 + 777 + ? = 19700, the missing number is 36, which corresponds to option A. Therefore, the question and options should be corrected to use 9999 instead of 6999, making the correct answer A (36).

Percentages

MathematicsFIA

On increasing the price of TV sets by 30%, their sales decrease by 20%. What is the effect on the revenue receipts of the shop?

Correct answer: A

A
4% increase
Correct
B
4% decrease
C
8% increase
D
8% decrease
Explanation and memory cue

Revenue is calculated as Price × Quantity. When the price of TV sets is increased by 30%, the new price becomes 1.3 times the original price. When sales decrease by 20%, the quantity sold becomes 0.8 times the original quantity. Therefore, the new revenue is 1.3 × 0.8 = 1.04 times the original revenue, which means revenue increases by 4%. Hence, the effect on the revenue receipts of the shop is a 4% increase.
