Due to a sale at Macy's you only have to pay 2/3 of the original price of a blouse. your price AFTER the discount $120. What was the original price? Explain how you arrived at this answer.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $180

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the prices is said to be ...

  (amount you pay) = 2/3 × (original price)

To find the original price, multiply the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the (original price).

  (3/2)×(amount you pay) = (3/2)(2/3)(original price) = (original price)

  (3/2)×$120 = original price = $180

find the greatest number than divides 45 60 75 without leaving remainder​

Answers

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

15 is the greatest number that divides 45 60 75 without leaving remainder

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let write the factors of each number:

45: (1,3,5,9,15,45)

60:(1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60)

75:(1,3,5,15,15,75).

The greatest common factor is 15. So the answer is 15.

josue bought 7 pounds of pretzels at a local wholesaler for $16.80. his friend ricardo bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the supermarket for $12.75. Ricardo thinks he got the better deal because $12.75 is less than $16.80. Is Ricardo's reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.

Answers

(josue) 16.8/7 = $2.4 per lb
(ricardo) 12.75/5 = $2.55 per lb

ricardo is incorrect because if you solve for the price per pound ( price/amount ), josue paid $2.40 for each pound of pretzels while ricardo paid $2.55 per pound. ricardo ended up paying more.

A person's email for one day contained a total of 78 messages. The number of spam
messages was two less than four times the number of other messages. How many of
the email messages were spam?

Answers

Answer:

62 of the email messages were spam

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of spam and other messages be s and o respectively.

Total number of messages= 78

s +o= 78 -----(1)

s= 4o -2 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

4o -2 +o= 78

Simplify:

5o -2= 78

+2 on both sides:

5o= 78 +2

5o= 80

Divide both sides by 5:

o= 80 ÷5

o= 16

Since s +o= 78, s= 78 -o.

s= 78 -16

s= 62

The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 185 m above the ground. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 185 and standard deviation 32 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes

Answers

Answer:

0.0193 = 1.93% probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each parachute, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is damage, or there is not. The probability of there being damage on a parachute is independent of any other parachute, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

To find the probability of damage on a parachute, the normal distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Normal Probability Distribution

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

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Probability of a parachute having damage.

The opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 185 and standard deviation 32 m, which means that [tex]\mu = 185, \sigma = 32[/tex]

Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m, which means that the probability of damage is the p-value of  Z when X = 100. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{100 - 185}{32}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.66[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.66[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0039.

What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes?

0.0039 probability of a parachute having damage, which means that [tex]p = 0.0039[/tex]

5 parachutes, which means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

This probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.0039)^{0}.(0.9961)^{5} = 0.9807[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.9807 = 0.0193[/tex]

0.0193 = 1.93% probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes.

Max needs to paint a wall that is shaped like a square. He knows that the area of the wall is 75 ft2 . He needs to find the height of the wall. Find the height of the wall to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

8.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the square area formula, a = s², where s is the side length of the square.

Plug in the area and solve for s:

a = s²

75 = s²

√75 = s

8.7 = s

So, to the nearest tenth of a foot, the height is 8.7 feet

Fatima purchased a new mattress when it was on sale. The sale price was 27% less than the regular price. If the sale price was $409, what was the original price? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar).

Answers

Answer:

560

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

27% off

original price minus discount = new price

x - .27x = new price

.73x = new price

.73x = 409

Divide each side by .73

.73x/.73 = 409/.73

x=560.2739726

To the nearest dollar

x = 560

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through the two points. (-1,3) and (2,9)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 2x +5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the Slope:

m = rise/run

[tex]m=\frac{9-3}{2-(-1)}=\frac{6}{3}=\boxed{2}[/tex]

The slope is 2.

Finding the y-intercept:

[tex]y = 2x + b\\\\9 = 2(2) + b\\\\9 = 4 + b\\\\9 - 4 = 4 - 4 + b\\\\\boxed{ 5 = b}[/tex]

The y-intercept is (0,5).

The equation should be: [tex]y = 2x +5[/tex].

Hope this helps.

Answer:

y = 2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation in slope intercept form, we first have to find the slope of the two points.

The formula for finding the slope is:

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

We are given the points:

(-1, 3) and (2, 9)

x1, y1 and x2, y2.

[tex]\frac{9-3}{2-(-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] or 2 (the slope).

The slope intercept form is written as:

y= mx + b

y=2x+b

To find b, we can plug in either of the points given. Personally, I like to work with positive numbers. I'll be using the point (2, 9), however, either point will get you to the same answer.

y=2x+b

9=2(2)+b

9=4+b

Now subtract 4 from both sides.

5=b

Which then leaves us with the equation:

y = 2x+5

There are 200 ounces in 6 liters. How many milliliter (ml) are in 6 liters? (How to do in dimensional analysis?)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6000 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The prefix "milli-" is an SI standard prefix meaning 1/1000. So, 1 mL = (1/1000)L.

When doing dimension changes, you always want to use scale factors that have a value of 1, which is to say the numerator is equal to the denominator. For converting liters to milliliters, the scale factor you want will have mL in the numerator and L in the denominator:

  (1 mL)/(1/1000 L)   or   (1000 mL)/(1 L)

To do your conversion, multiply your liter volume by this factor.

  [tex](6\text{ L})\times\dfrac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}}=\dfrac{6\times1000\text{ mL$\cdot$L}}{1\text{ L}}=6000\text{ mL}[/tex]

6 liters is 6000 milliliters.

You will notice that the dimensions "L" cancel, which is the point of the exercise.

Answers

Answer:

Part 1)

See Below.

Part 2)

[tex]\displaystyle (-0.179, -0.178) \cup (-0.010, 0.012)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The linear approximation L for a function f at the point x = a is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle L \approx f'(a)(x-a) + f(a)[/tex]

We want to verify that the expression:

[tex]1-36x[/tex]

Is the linear approximation for the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{(1+9x)^4}[/tex]

At x = 0.

So, find f'(x). We can use the chain rule:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = -4(1+9x)^{-4-1}\cdot (9)[/tex]

Simplify. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = -\frac{36}{(1+9x)^{5}}[/tex]

Then the slope of the linear approximation at x = 0 will be:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(1) = -\frac{36}{(1+9(0))^5} = -36[/tex]

And the value of the function at x = 0 is:

[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = \frac{1}{(1+9(0))^4} = 1[/tex]

Thus, the linear approximation will be:

[tex]\displaystyle L = (-36)(x-(0)) + 1 = 1 - 36x[/tex]

Hence verified.

Part B)

We want to determine the values of x for which the linear approximation L is accurate to within 0.1.

In other words:

[tex]\displaystyle \left| f(x) - L(x) \right | \leq 0.1[/tex]

By definition:

[tex]\displaystyle -0.1\leq f(x) - L(x) \leq 0.1[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle -0.1 \leq \left(\frac{1}{(1+9x)^4} \right) - (1-36x) \leq 0.1[/tex]

We can solve this by using a graphing calculator. Please refer to the graph shown below.

We can see that the inequality is true (i.e. the graph is between y = 0.1 and y = -0.1) for x values between -0.179 and -0.178 as well as -0.010 and 0.012.

In interval notation:
