Jarred went to the bookstore,
He bought a softcover book which was on sale for 10%
off. He spent $18 on the book, What was the original
price?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the original price of the book is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

sometimes in a question, they put things in the question that don't actually help us get to the answer. usually we ignore it, but i'm going to list them out just to help you a bit more.

Things that are useless:

his name is Jarred (his name could be gary, it doesn't affect us getting the answer)he went to a bookstore (he could've gone to the library, it wont affect us getting to the answer)the book is softcover (it could be any type of book, wont affect us getting to the answer)the item is a book (it could be anything that he bought, wont affect us getting to the answer.)

Things that are helpful:

the book was on sale (helps us know that the price was reduced)the book was on sale 10% (helps us know how much it was reduced by)he spent $18 for the reduced price (helps us know how much he spent)

Ok, now that we know those, let's work on the question.

let b be the original book price

we need to find 10% so we have to use 90% (because 100 - 10 = 90)

if we needed to find 20% we would use 80% (because 100 - 20 = 80)

and so on.

  90% of b = 18    (90% of the og. book price equals 18)

90/100 × b = 18    (write a correct equation and make the percent a fraction)

    9/10 × b = 18    (simplify both sides of the equation)

         9 × b = 180  (multiply both sides of the equation to get rid of fraction)

               b = 20   (divide both sides of the equ. to get b by itself)

the original price of the book is $20

hope this helped :D

good luck my friend

find the missing length

Answers

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

since the triangles are similar, that means that they have the same angles, and all 3 correlating sides have the same scaling factor.

C correlates to R.

B to Q.

A to P.

therefore,

CB correlates to RQ.

84 / 18 = 14 / 3

so, the scaling factor from ABC to PQR is

3/14

AB to PQ must have the same scaling factor :

168 × 3/14 = 12 × 3 = 36

which is also (of course) confirming the ratio of leg to baseline of the original triangle :

AB : CB = 168 : 84 = 2 : 1

and now

PQ : RQ = 36 : 18 = 2 : 1

In a large company, the proportion of employees who were promoted during the last year was 0.10. If 100

O 0.5
O 0.4525
O 0.0475
O 0.9525

Answers

Answer:

0.0475

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

In a large company, the proportion of employees who were promoted during the last year was 0.10.

This means that [tex]p = 0.1[/tex]

100 employees

This means that [tex]n = 100[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 100*0.1 = 10[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100*0.1*0.9} = 3[/tex]

What is the probability that at least 15 of them were promoted during the last year?

This is [tex]P(X \geq 15)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 15. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{15 - 10}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475.

0.0475 is the answer.

Given:

The figure of triangle GHI and a circle M inscribed in the triangle.

To find:

The perimeter of the triangle.

Solution:

We know that the lengths of the tangent on a circle from same exterior point are always equal.

[tex]JH=HK[/tex]             (Tangent from point H)

[tex]6x-11=2x+9[/tex]

[tex]6x-2x=11+9[/tex]

[tex]4x=20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.

[tex]x=\dfrac{20}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Now,

[tex]JH=6x-11[/tex]

[tex]JH=6(5)-11[/tex]

[tex]JH=30-11[/tex]

[tex]JH=19[/tex]

In the same way,

[tex]GJ=GL[/tex]             (Tangent from point H)

[tex]IK=IL[/tex]             (Tangent from point H)

From the figure, it is clear that,

[tex]IL=GI-GL[/tex]

[tex]IL=40-GJ[/tex]

[tex]IL=40-23[/tex]

[tex]IL=17[/tex]

The perimeter of the triangle GHI is:

[tex]Perimeter=GH+HI+GI[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter=(GJ+HJ)+(HK+IK)+(GL+IL)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter=(23+19)+(19+17)+(23+17)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter=118[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle GHI is 118 units.

Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the confidence interval.

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Suppose that a random sample of eighteen recently sold houses in a certain city has a mean sales price of $280,000, with a standard deviation of $10,000. Under the assumption that house prices are normally distributed, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean sales price of all houses in this community. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the confidence interval.

Answer:

At 95%, confidence interval is ( 275026.7, 284973.3 )

Hence;

Lower limit = 275026.7

Upper limit = 284973.3

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given that;

mean x = $280,000

standard deviation σ = $10,000

sample size n = 18

degree of freedom df = n - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

∝ = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05  

so

Critical t value = tinv( 0.05, 17 ) = 2.11

now, at 95% confidence interval for mean will be;

⇒ x ± [ Critical t value × ( σ/√n) ]

so we substitute

⇒ 280,000 ± [  2.11 × ( 10000/√18) ]

⇒ 280,000 ± [  2.11 × 2357.0226 ]

⇒ 280,000 ± 4973.3

⇒ 280000 - 4973.3, 280000 + 4973.3

At 95%, confidence interval is ( 275026.7, 284973.3 )

Hence;

Lower limit = 275026.7

Upper limit = 284973.3

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{cos(\frac{\theta}{2} )= \frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}}[/tex]

[tex]\large\boxed{tan(\frac{\theta}{2}) = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}[/tex]

Begin by recalling that:

sin(θ) = O/H,  so:

Opposite side = 3√5

Hypotenuse = 7

We can solve for the adjacent sign using the Pythagorean Theorem:

7² = (3√5)² + b²

49 = 45 + b²

b² = 4

b = 2.

Thus, cosθ = 2/ 7

Use the half angle identity to solve for cos(θ/2):

cos(θ/2) = √(1 + cosθ)

Plug in the value of cosθ:

= √(1 + 2/7) = √9/7, or 3 /√7

Thus:

[tex]cos(\frac{\theta}{2}) = \frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}[/tex]

Calculate tan(θ/2) using the same process but with a different formula:

tan(θ/2) = √(1 - cosθ / 1 + cosθ)

Substitute in the value of cosθ:

tan(θ/2) = √(1 - 2/7)/(1 + 2/7)

= √(5/7)/(9/7) = √5/9 = √5/3

Find the conjugate and product of

Answer:

-85

Step-by-step explanation:

Conjugate of an expression is gotten by simply changing the sign to the opposite sign. For example, the conjugate of 5 is -5, the conjugate of x+2 is x-2. Given the complex value 2i+9, the conjugate will be -85

Taking their product

(2i+9)(2i-9)

Expand

2i(2i)-9(2i)+9(2i)+9(-9)

=  4i²-18-+18i-81

= 4i² - 81

Since i² = -1

= 4(-1) - 81

= -4-81

= -85

Hence the product will give -85

As a plumber charges a customer a one-time service fee of $ 79, $ 62 per hour for labor, and a surcharge of $ 15 per hour due to the call being an emergency, to write an expression to represent the total charges for the plumber in two different ways, with H representing the number of hours the job takes, the following equations should be formulated:

Option 1:

Fixed amount + amount per hour multiplied by the number of hours + emergency amount multiplied by the number of hours = X

79 + 62H + 15H = X

Option 2:

Fixed amount + sum of emergency amount and the amount per hour multiplied by the number of hours = X
