214 of the girls Nigerian Army rescued fron Boko Haram Islamic Terrorists from their forest strong hold last week have been confirmed pregnant.Apparently from repeated rapes (not that I am surprised anyway). My question is considering the psychological consequences of this,both long and short term,can abortion be justified in this instance? Both muslims,christians and all, your view

A trader bought 100 oranges at 5 for $1.20, 20 oranges got spoilt and the remaining were sold at 4 for $150. Find the percentage gain or loss Well, excuse me if I question this post; but the 4 @ $150. either seems like a mistake in the placement of the decimal point or the percentage of gain would be a redundant question sense he's already marked up his product to a point that he'd never sell those oranges!!! He'd either have to eat his 80 remaining before they spoiled or give them away or slice them up for the birds/chickens to enjoy! No huge problem Uche9aa; that's why I'd asked first thing this morning ...no harm / no fowl {pardon my pun} I couldn't sell mine highly over priced fruit so I sliced them up and my chickens enjoyed them! See, I too have had a misplaced punctuation FOWL my posts/typing up before and it took me a while to figure out why someone wasn't getting my meaning! Hate that when it happens! So bring on the next QUIZ and we'll do our best to BUST IT as well. |

Here comes my input. Pls dont mind the way I will arrange the detail. I aint using a system,just a mobile phone. Now, if 5 oranges cost $1.2, then 1 orange would cost (1.2/5)=$0.24 Since he bought 100 oranges,the CP would be 100*0.24=$24. Now,since 20 oranges got spoilt,he could only sell 80 oranges. He then sold 4 for $1.50 which means one would cost $(1.50/4)=$0.375 So the SP of 80 oranges would be 80*$0.375=30 So we got; CP=$24 SP=$30 So Gain=$30-$24=$6 %gain=/CP*100%=6/24*100% =1/4*100% =(100/4)% =25% gain. So the correct option is 25% . I hope I didnt make typo mistakes!!!!!! Hahahaha 'Lovely' (Both the 'puzzle' & the 'explanation')! Thank You for sharing, 'Mate'! |

Three possible answers that i see A) 20% loss of product B) at &150.00per you would gain1250%of your investment C) at$1.50 per you would gain 25% of yourinvestment |

Can you please confirm the selkung price? Is it onehundredfifty bollars or one dillar and fifty cents? That possible typo will seriously change the answer. |

Mmm..no equation...just eyeballing all the numbers...since i wasnt sure if this was indeed a serious economics/math problem... 20 oranges out of a hundred is 20%... 5 oranges were grouped together to be sold. Which is 20 sets of 5... 5x20=100 The remaining 80 oranges were grouped into 4's. Which is also 20 sets... 4x20=80 So...20 percent if you switch all the numbers around... Whats the answer suppose to be anyway?? |

Find the percentage gain or loss is this a serious economics question? or another one of those, "gotcha" problems? i will dip my foot in the water... assuming that you are referring to profit gained or loss..20% of the oranges was loss due to spoiling, so 20% of potential profit was also loss |

Assuming he found a buyer at those prices the net gain is 14605% ROI. Also, I'd like to find the market he's selling this stuff to and see if they want some apples. |
