The amount of tax on a chair was $3.60. The tax rate was 5%. Find the original price of the chair.

Bianca solved the problem below. Find Bianca’s error.

0.05(3.60) = Original price

The original price is $0.18.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $72.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between price and tax is ...

  tax amount = (tax rate) × (price)

Then the price can be found by dividing by the tax rate:

  price = (tax amount)/(tax rate)

  price = $3.60 / 0.05 = $72.00

The original price of the chair was $72.00.

__

Bianca apparently did not pay any attention to the way tax is computed. Nor did she check her work. The original price is not a small fraction of the tax. It is the other way around. Bianca used a wrong relationship between tax and price.

The circle P has a center at (0, 0) and a point on the circle at (0, 4). If it is dilated by a factor of 4, what is the distance of the diameter for circle P’.
A. 32

B. 4

C. 8

D. 16

Answers

Answer:

A. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If the center is (0, 0) and a point is (0, 4) then the distance from the center to that point is 4 units. That distance is the radius. If you are dilating by a factor of 4, multiply the radius by 4 and you get 16. The new radius is 16 and the diameter= radius*2.

16*2=32

On a map of a town, 3 cm represents 150 m. Two points in the town are 1 km apart. How far apart are the two points on the map?

Answers

Answer:

5000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

3 cm represents on a map of  a town=150 m

Distance between two points=1 km

We have to find the distance between two points on the map.

3 cm represents on a map of  a town=150 m

1 cm represents on a map of  a town=150/3 m

1 km=1000 m

1 m=100 cm

[tex]1km=1000\times 100=100000 cm[/tex]

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town

=[tex]\frac{150}{3}\times 100000[/tex] m

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town=5000000 m

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town

=[tex]\frac{5000000}{1000} km[/tex]

100000 cm  represents on a map of  a town=5000 km

Hence, two points are separated by 5000 km on the map.

What do you add to 2 7/8 to make 5

c. switch the x-values and y-values in the table

Step-by-step explanation:

For any table or graph reflection over the line y=x

The rule is (x,y) ----> (y,x)

f(x) is reflected over the line y=x, so the coordinates of f(x) becomes

(-2,-31) becomes (-31,-2)

(-1,0) becomes (0,-1)

(1,2) becomes (2,1)

(2,33) becomes (33,2)

As per the rule, we switch the x-values and y-values in the table

For reflection over the line y=x , the coordinate becomes

(-31,-2)

(0,-1)

(2,1)

(33,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

Required

Determine g(x)

First, shift f(x) down by 3 units

The rule is:

[tex]f'(x) = f(x) - 3[/tex]

So:

[tex]f'(x) = x^2 - 3[/tex]

Next, reflect f'(x) across the x-axis to get g(x)

The rule is:

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

So, we have:

In a town. the population of registered voters is 46% democrat, 42% republican and 12% independent polling data shows 57% of democrats support the increase , 38% of republicans support the increase, and 76% of independents support the increase.

Required:
a. Find the probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected voter does not support the tax increase?
c. Suppose you find a voter at random who supports the tax increase. What is the probability he or she is a registered Independent?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.513 = 51.3% probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.

b) 0.487 = 48.7% probability that a randomly selected voter does not support the tax increase.

c) 0.1777 = 17.77% probability he or she is a registered Independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Question a:

57% of 46%(democrats)

38% of 42%(republicans)

76% of 12%(independents)

So

[tex]P = 0.57*0.46 + 0.38*0.42 + 0.76*0.12 = 0.513[/tex]

0.513 = 51.3% probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.

Question b:

1 - 0.513 = 0.487

0.487 = 48.7% probability that a randomly selected voter does not support the tax increase.

c. Suppose you find a voter at random who supports the tax increase. What is the probability he or she is a registered Independent?

Event A: Supports the tax increase.

Event B: Is a independent.

0.513 = 51.3% probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.513[/tex]

Probability it supports a tax increase and is a independent:

76% of 12%, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.76*0.12[/tex]

Thus

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.76*0.12}{0.513} = 0.1777[/tex]

0.1777 = 17.77% probability he or she is a registered Independent.

so let the equation equal 13

13 = 3[tex]x^{3}[/tex]-12x+13

so when ever 3[tex]x^{3}[/tex]-12x=0  then this is equation is true, soooo

x (3[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 12) =0

so when x = 0  this is true, but also when

3[tex]x^{2}[/tex]-12=0   also

3[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 12

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 4

x = 2

so when x = 2  or -2  or 0  ,  then this is true

The largest angle in a triangle is six times the smallest angle. The middle angle is three times the smallest angle. Given that the sum of the angles in a triangle is , find the measure of each angle.

Answers

Answer:

Smallest: 18° Middle: 54° Largest: 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by writing out what we know in a series of equations:

s= smallest angle, m= medium angle, L= largest angle.

Since the largest is 6 times the smallest we have:

L=6s

Since the middle is 3 times the smallest we have:

m=3s

Since the 3 interior angle measures of a triangle always must equal 180°, we have:

s+m+L=180

Then we plug in our L and m into the third equation:

s+3s+6s=180

Combining like terms and solving:

10s=180

s=18

Then we plug in 18 for s into the first 2 equations to get:

L= 6* 18

L= 108

and

m= 3* 18

m= 54

So s= 18, m= 54, and L=108.

To check the answer we can:

Add the three to make sure they equal 180. Make sure the smallest is the smallest, and the largest is the largest.

First, get the slope

Slope m =(0-1)/5-0

m = -1/5

Since the required line is perpendicular, then the required slope is;

M = -1/(-1/5)

M = 5

Since 1the y intecept id (0,1) i.e. 1

A random sample of 35 employees of the local green technologies plant Greenies, who completed two years of college, were asked to take a basic mathematics test. The mean and standard deviation of their scores were 75.1 and 12.8, respectively. In a random sample of 50 employees who had only completed high school, the mean and standard deviation of the test scores were 72.1 and 14.6, respectively. Assuming equal variance between the two populations, can we infer at the .10 level of significance that students who completed two years of college had a higher average than students who had only completed high school

Answers

Answer:

There is no significance evidence that students who completed two years of college had a higher average than students who had only completed high school.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ1 = μ2

H1 : μ1 > μ2

Given :

n1 = 35 ; x1 = 75.1 ; s1 = 12.8

n2 = 50 ; x2 = 72.1 ; s2 = 14.6

Pooled variance = Sp² = (df1*s1² + df2*s2²) ÷ (n1 + n2 - 2)

df1 = n1 - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34

df2 = n2 - 1 = 50 - 1 = 49

(x1 - x2) ÷ Sp(√(1/n1 + 1/n2))

Sp² = (34*12.8^2 + 49*14.6^2) / (35+50-2)

Sp² = (5570.56 + 10444.84) / 83

Sp² = 192.95662

Sp = √192.95662

Sp = 13.89

Test statistic = (75.1 - 72.1) / 13.89 * √(1/35 + 1/50)

Test statistic = 3 / (13.89 * 0.2203892)

Test statistic = 0.980

df = n1 + n2 - 2

df = 35 + 50 - 2 = 83

Using the Pvalue calculator :

Pvalue(0.980, 83) = 0.165

α = 0.1

Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the H0; and conclude that there is no significance evidence that students who completed two years of college had a higher average than students who had only completed high school.

the campus bookshop sells exercise books and textbooks, where, the total cost of 10 exercise books and 2 textbooks is $1400.00. One also finds the total cost of 3 textbooks and 30 exercise books is $3000. Then determine the price of 1 exercise book?

Answers

Answer:

The price of 1 exercise book is $122.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the price of one exercise book.

y is the price of one textbook.

Total cost of 10 exercise books and 2 textbooks is $1400.00.

This means that:

[tex]10x + 2y = 1400[/tex]

Since we want x:

[tex]2y = 1400 - 10x[/tex]

[tex]y = 700 - 5x[/tex]

One also finds the total cost of 3 textbooks and 30 exercise books is $3000.

This means that:

[tex]3x + 30y = 3000[/tex]

Since [tex]y = 700 - 5x[/tex]

[tex]3x + 30(700 - 5x) = 3000[/tex]

[tex]3x + 21000 - 150x = 3000[/tex]

[tex]147x = 18000[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{18000}{147}[/tex]

[tex]x = 122.45[/tex]

The price of 1 exercise book is $122.45.
