2.5(a + 4) + 0.5a = 12.4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First I distributed 2.5 into (a+4) and got (2.5a+10)+0.5a=12.4. I then combined like terms which are 2.5a and 0.5a and got 3a+10=12.4. I subtracted 10 from both sides to get rid of it and got 3a=2.4. Later, I divided 3 from both sides to get a which comes out to be 0.8.

Hope this helps you :)

3. You have saved $140 for a new pair of skis. They have a regular price of $189. They have been reduced by 30%. There is a 13% tax as well. a. What is the discount? b. What is the new price? c. What is the tax? d. What was the total price of the shoes, after the discount and tax? e. Do you have enough money?

Answers

Answer:

$56.70

$132.30

$17.199

$149.499

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Regular price of skis = $189

Discount % = 30%

Amount saved = $140

After sales tax = 13%

a. What is the discount?

Discount amount = Regular price * discount %

Discount amount = $189 * 0.30

Discount amount = $56.70

b. What is the new price?

Regular price - Discount amount

$189 - $56.70

= $132.30

c. What is the tax?

Sales tax = new price * tax %

Sales tax = $132.30 * 0.13

Sales tax = $17.199

d. What was the total price of the shoes, after the discount and tax?

New price + sales tax

= $132.30 + $17.199

= $149.499

e. Do you have enough money?

No

$149.499 > $140

We can clearly see in the diagram that a transversal is intersecting two parallel lines.

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, eight angles are formed.

The angles which are in the same position on same side of each line intersected by the transversal, are called corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

So,

Angle 6x+4° and 100° will be congruent or equal

[tex]6x+4 = 100\\6x =100-4\\6x = 96\\\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{96}{6}\\x = 16[/tex]

Hence,

The value of x is 16

The graph shows the number of each kind of book in Hero's personal library. A book is

What is the probability that the book is a romance book?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle p=\frac{1}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

The simple probability of a random event can be calculated as the ratio between the possible favorable cases and the total possible cases.

The pie chart shows the number of books in Hero's library grouped by category.

The total number of books is 14 + 10 + 4 + 2 = 30

The number of romance books is 2

Thus, the probability of randomly choosing a romance book out of the total books is:

[tex]\displaystyle p=\frac{2}{30}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]\mathbf{\displaystyle p=\frac{1}{15}}[/tex]

Use the equation p= 8.31/v where p = pressure and V = volume.

What happens to the pressure as the volume approaches 0? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: pressure increases

Step-by-step explanation:

because Boyle's law states that pressure and volume have an inverse relationship, if we decrease volume the pressure will increase.

Another explanation: since volume approaches 0, we're dividing by a smaller number, and doing this gives us a larger value for pressure

Answer:

The pressure approaches infinity.

The function is undefined for V = 0.

There is an asymptote at V = 0.

A movie theatre marks up the price of popcorn 12 3/4 times the original cost. express 12 3/4 as a percent and decimal.

Answers

Answer:

Answer: F. 1,275% and 12.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios

Ratios are usually expressed as decimals, fractions, colon notation, and percentages.

For example, if the ratio of two quantities is 2, it can be expressed as:

2, 2/1, 2:1, 200%

To obtain the percentage expression, just multiply by 100%.

The price of the popcorn sold at a movie theatre was marked up as 12 3/4 times the original cost.

The mixed fraction can be converted to a decimal by just adding their parts as follows:

12 + 3/4 = 12.75

Now to express it as a percentage, multiply by 100%:

12.75 * 100% = 1,275%

Answer: F. 1,275% and 12.75.

Frank earns $8 per hour. Madison
earns $7.50 per hour. Frank started working after Madison had already earned $300. If these rates continue, will Frank’s earnings ever equal Madison’s earnings? If so, when?

Answers

Answer:

yes, and at 600 hours they are equal and at 601 Frank passes her.

Step-by-step explanation:

since frank  has a higher salery/slope and Madison has a lower salary slope meaning even though Madison started out with more Frank will eventually pass her.

First, you gotta find the difference slope 8-7.5 so .5 then find the difference in starting points 300 and zero. then multiply the difference as a  positive(make it reversed 1/2 to 2/1 ) so 2 times 300 equals 600.

Answer:

They will and it will be by the 600th hour. The equation is frank makes 8$ dollars per hour for n hours. That (at some point) is the same as what maddi makes, 7.50 per hour for n hours plus 300... sooo

8n=7.50n+300

Sub in n for 600 and it should cancel everything out and work :)

A population of values has a normal distribution with μ = 245.3 and σ = 96 . You intend to draw a random sample of size n = 50 . Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is greater than 246.7.

P(M > 246.7) = Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.

Answers

Answer:

0.4589

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

The z score formula for a random number of samples is:

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation

Hence:

z = 246.7 - 245.3/96/√50

z = 0.10312

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<246.7) = 0.54107

P(x>246.7) = 1 - P(x<246.7) = 0.45893

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.4589

The probability that a single randomly selected value is greater than 246.7 is 0.4589

A piece of string has been used to measure the circumference of a circle. Use a ruler to measure the diameter of the circle and the length of the string to the nearest 1/4 inch

Answers

Answer:

The circumference is expressed usingC=2πr

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on the mensuration of flat shapes, a circle.

The length of the string corresponds to the circumference of the circle.

The lenght of the string can be calculated by using the expression for circumference, if after using the ruler to obtain the diameter "d"

upon measuring the diameter we can further obtain the radius "r"

The expression for the radius is r=d/2 (the radius is half the diameter)

C=2πr

where pi= 3.124 a constant term

Hence Circumference is the same as the length of the string

Answer:

f(x) has been  translated to the  right one and down  five.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]g(x)=f(x-1)-5[/tex]

Required

Determine the transformation

Taking the analysis one at a time

The relationship between f(x) and f(x - h) is that f(x) is translated h units to the right

So, when f(x) becomes f(x-1), it is as a result of f(x) being translated 1 unit to the right

The relationship between f(x) and f(x) - h is that f(x) is translated h units downwards

So, when f(x - 1) becomes f(x - 1) - 5, it is as a result of f(x - 1) being translated 5 units downwards.

Hence, option 2 answers the question

Answer: D .............

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

g(x) = 2x² - 6x - 56 ← factor out 2 from each term

      = 2(x² - 3x - 28) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 28) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)

The factors are + 4 and - 7, since

4 × - 7 = - 28 and 4 - 7 = - 3 , thus

x² - 3x - 28 = (x + 4)(x - 7) , then

g(x) = 2x² - 6x - 56 = 2(x + 4)(x - 7) → B
