At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $336. This is a 36% discount from the original price.
What is the original price?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$525

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price by using the formula x - 0.36x = 336, where x is the original price, 0.36 is the discount percentage (converted to decimal form), and 336 is the total amount paid after the discount is applied:

[tex]x-0.36x=336\\0.64x=336\\x=525[/tex]

To check and further understand why the formula works, we can simply apply the discount to the original price and subtract the number from the original price:

525 * 0.36 = 189

525 - 189 = 336

Modeling the first formula gives us:

525 - (0.36 * 525) = 336

525 - 189 = 336

17. In a spelling competition, school X had 12 more participants than school Y and 18 fewer participants than school Z. The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in school X, Y and Z were 1:2, 1:5 and 2: 1 respectively. There were 50 more girls than boys in total from the 3 schools. How many participants from the 3 school were there in all?​

Answers

There were 204 participants from the three schools

How to determine the number of participants?

The given parameters are:

X = 12 + Y

X = Z - 18

Girls = Boys + 50

The ratios of the number of boys to girls in the schools are:

1 : 2

1 : 5

2 : 1

This means that:

School X: Boys = 1/3 and Girls = 2/3School Y: Boys = 1/6 and Girls = 5/6School Z: Boys = 2/3 and Girls = 1/3

So, we have:

Boys = 1/3X + 1/6Y + 2/3Z

Girls = 2/3X + 5/6Y + 1/3Z

Substitute the above equations in Girls = Boys + 50

2/3X + 5/6Y + 1/3Z = 1/3X + 1/6Y + 2/3Z + 50

Evaluate the like terms

1/3X + 2/3Y - 1/3Z = 50

Multiply through by 3

X + 2Y - Z = 150

So, we have:

X = 12 + Y

X = Z - 18

X + 2Y - Z = 150

Substitute X = 12 + Y in X = Z - 18 and X + 2Y - Z = 150

12 + Y = Z - 18 ⇒ Y - Z = 30

12 + Y + 2Y - Z = 150 ⇒ 3Y - Z = 138

Subtract Y - Z = 30 from the equation 3Y - Z = 138 to eliminate Z

2Y = 108

Divide by 2

Y = 54

Substitute Y = 54 in X = 12 + Y

X = 12 + 54

X = 66

Substitute X = 66 in X = Z - 18

66 = Z - 18

Solve for Z

Z = 66 + 18

Z = 84

So, the total number of participants from the 3 schools is

Total = X + Y + Z

This gives

Total = 66 + 54 + 84

Evaluate the sum

Total = 204

Hence, there were 204 participants from the three schools

On Wednesday, 1/3 of the students in Mr. Short's homeroom had drama practice, and 1/4 of his other homeroom students had band practice. If 6 students had band practice, how many students are in Mr. Short's homeroom?

Answers

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, I'd work this out visually (see image) by drawing a rectangle and dividing it up. But if you need to show the math, here's how to do it:

Let x = the number of students in the homeroom

1/3 x have drama

1/4 (x - 1/3x) have band, and we are told 6 students have band, so

1/4 (x - 1/3 x) = 6

1/4 (2/3 x) = 6    

2/12 x = 6          

1/6 x = 6            

6 × 1/6 x = 6 × 6

1 x = 6 × 6            

x = 36

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the total number of students in Mr. Short's homeroom. Then, working backward, we see that 

6 = 1/4(1 - 1/3)n = 1/4(2/3)n = 1/6n,$

so n = 6 x 6 = 36 students.

How to find the equation of quadratic regression using a calculator?

To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator.

In this problem, we have that the function initially increases, then it decreases, which means that it is a quadratic function. The points (x,y) to  be inserted into the calculator are given as follows:

(1, 20), (2,17), (3, 16), (4,16), (5,18), (6,21), (7,25), (8,31)

Inserting these points into the calculator, the prediction of y for a value of x is given as follows:

y = 0.702x^2 - 4.726x + 23.857

Hence, when x = 10, the prediction is:

y = 0.702 x 10² - 4.726 x 10 + 23.857

y = 47.

Hence option A is correct.

Evaluate the surface integral. s y ds s is the surface z = 2 3 x3/2 y3/2 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 4, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1

Answers

The surface integral of the given surface [tex]z=\frac{2}{3}(x^\frac{3}{2}+y^\frac{3}{2})[/tex] in the intervals 0 ≤ x ≤ 4, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 is 7.36615.

How to evaluate the surface integral?

To evaluate the surface integral, the formula applied is

[tex]S=\int\limits^b_a\int\limits^d_c {f(x,y)} \ dy\ dx[/tex]

⇒ S = [tex]\int\limits^b_a \int\limits^d_c {\sqrt{1+(\frac{dz}{dx})^2+(\frac{dz}{dy})^2 } } \, dy \, dx[/tex]

Where the differentiation is partial differentiation and f(x, y) = z.

Calculation:

The given function is

f(x, y) = [tex]z=\frac{2}{3}(x^\frac{3}{2}+y^\frac{3}{2})[/tex]

Then, applying the partial differentiation w.r.t x and y respectively,

dz/dx = [tex]\frac{2}{3}(\frac{3}{2})x^{1/2}[/tex] = [tex]x^{1/2}[/tex]

dz/dy = [tex]\frac{2}{3}(\frac{3}{2})y^{1/2}[/tex] = [tex]y^{1/2}[/tex]

Then,

we have surface integral  formula as

S = [tex]\int\limits^b_a \int\limits^d_c {\sqrt{1+(\frac{dz}{dx})^2+(\frac{dz}{dy})^2 } } \, dy \, dx[/tex]

On substituting,

⇒ S = [tex]\int\limits^4_0 {\int\limits^1_0 {\sqrt{1+(x^{1/2})^2+(y^{1/2})^2} \, dy } \, dx[/tex]

⇒ S = [tex]\int\limits^4_0 {\int\limits^1_0 {\sqrt{1+x+y} \, dy } \, dx[/tex]

On integrating w.r.t y

⇒ S = [tex]\int\limits^4_0 {\frac{2}{3}(1+x+y)^{3/2}} \,|_0^1 dx[/tex]

Applying limits,

⇒ S = [tex]\int\limits^4_0 {\frac{2}{3}[(1+x+1)^{3/2}-(1+x+0)^{3/2} } \, dx[/tex]

⇒ S = [tex]\frac{2}{3} \int\limits^4_0 {[(x+2)^{3/2}-(x+1)^{3/2}}] \, dx[/tex]

Again applying the integration w.r.t x

⇒ S = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[\frac{2}{5}(x+2)^{5/2}-\frac{2}{5}(x+1)^{5/2}]|_0^4[/tex]

Applying the limits and simplifying,

⇒ S = [tex]\frac{4}{15}[(4+2)^{5/2}-(4+1)^{5/2}-(0+2)^{5/2}+(0+1)^{5/2}][/tex]

⇒ S = [tex]\frac{4}{15}[1+36\sqrt{6}-25\sqrt{5}-4\sqrt{2}][/tex]

∴ S = 7.36615

Therefore, the surface integral of the given function is 7.36615.

Kenneth wants to sew a tent, including the bottom so that it is entirely enclosed. He has a rectangular piece of canvas with dimensions of 12 feet by 20 feet. The front and back of the tent will be identical triangles, measuring 6 feet across at ground level, with two 5-foot sides meeting at the top. The depth of the tent will be equal to three times the height of the front of the tent. What is the depth of the tent?

Answers

Based on the calculations, the depth of tent is equal to 12 feet.

How to calculate the depth of the tent?

Based on the diagram (see attachment) and information provided, we can logically deduce the following parameters (points):

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle (AB = AC).The front and back of the triangle are identical triangles.Side AD is perpendicular side BC.CD is the midpoint of BC i.e CD = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3 feet.

Next, we would determine the height of the right-angled triangle (ADC) by applying Pythagorean theorem:

AC² = AD² + DC²

AD² = AC² - DC²

AD² = 5² - 3²

AD² = 25 - 9

AD² = 16

AD = √16

AD = 4 feet.

Also, we would determine the area of the triangle (ABC):

Area = 1/2 × b × h

Where:

b is the base area.h is the height.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Area = 1/2 × 6 × 4

Area = 12 feet².

Depth of tent = 3 × height of ADC

Depth of tent = 3 × 4

Depth of tent = 12 feet.

The discount to be increased so that he can gain only 15% is 8%.

Discounts are divided into Trade reduction: The discount granted when substantial purchases are made is referred to as a trade discount.Since sales discounts lower the cost of a product, they are not considered costs. These monetary discounts provided to consumers do, however, have an impact on a company's financial statements. Thus they must be reported as a decrease in revenue under the accounts receivable line item.

How much is the discount to be increased so that he can gain only 15%:

The cost price of the goods - y.

The selling price of the goods - x.

The selling price is

1.2y (100% + 20% = 120%).

The refrigerator was sold at 13% VAT at Rs. 10848:

=> 1.2y + 13%(1.2y) = 10848

=> 1.2y + 0.156y = 10848

=> 1.356y = 10848

=> y = 8000

Thus, the cp is Rs 8000.

The selling price is:

=> 0.96x = 1.2y

=> 0.96x = 1.2(8000)

=> x = 10000

The selling price is Rs. 10000

For a profit of 15%, that is 1.15(8000) = 9200, the discount is:

(1 - discount)10000 = 9200

and a child's pass is $15. A group spent
$440 on 20 passes. How many children's
passes did the group purchase?
A

Answers

Answer:

6 children passes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = adult and c = children

25a + 15c = 440           and          a + c = 20

                                                     c = 20 - a

25a + 15(20-a) = 440

25a + 300 - 15a = 440

25a - 15a = 440 - 300

10a = 140

a = 140/10

a = 14 and this is 14 adult tickets

Now we plug the a value into the equation to find the c value

14 + c = 20

c = 20 - 14

c = 6

Verify answer:

25(14) = 15(6) = 440

350 + 90 = 440

April was asked to determine whether f(x)=x^3 -1 is even, odd, or neither. Here is her work:

Answers

April's work in checking for the function, [tex]f(x) = x^3 - 1[/tex], to be even, odd, or neither, is incorrect. She did a mistake in step 2, where she took [tex]f(-x) = - f(x)[/tex], which was not true, since [tex]f(-x) = -x^3 - 1[/tex], whereas [tex]- f(x) = -x^3 + 1[/tex].

A function f(x) is said to be odd or even when it completes the condition:

f(-x) = -f(x), for f(x) to be an odd function, andf(-x) = f(x), for f(x) to be an even function.

In the question, we are given that April was asked to determine whether  [tex]f(x) = x^3 - 1[/tex], is even, odd, or neither, and are shown her work.

We are asked whether April's work is correct, and if not, what is the first step where April made a mistake.

To check for a function is even or odd, we first calculate f(-x).

April's first step was also finding f(-x), which she found accurately as  [tex]f(-x) = -x^3 - 1[/tex].

Next, we need to check whether f(-x) is equal to f(x), -f(x), or neither, to check if the function is even, odd, or neither, respectively.

April, also choose the right step of checking, but did a mistake in checking, since f(-x) ≠ f(x), and also, f(-x) ≠ - f(x), since, [tex]- f(x) = -(x^3 - 1)[/tex] = [tex]-x^3 + 1[/tex], which is not equal to f(-x).

Thus, April's work in checking for the function, [tex]f(x) = x^3 - 1[/tex], to be even, odd, or neither, is incorrect. She did a mistake in step 2, where she took f(-x) = - f(x), which was not true, since [tex]f(-x) = -x^3 - 1[/tex], whereas [tex]- f(x) = -x^3 + 1[/tex].

The base side of the isosceles triangle in discuss as described in the task content is; 10cm.

What is the length of the base side of the isosceles triangle?

According to the task content, the area of the isosceles triangle is 60 square cm.

Since, the length of its longest sides is 13 cm and since it follows from convention that the bisection of an isosceles triangle results in the formation of two right-triangles.

Consequently, it follows from Pythagoras triples that the height of each right triangle is 12 and its base is; 5.

Consequently, the base of the whole isosceles triangle is; 2 × 5 = 10cm.

A study of college freshmen found that students who watched tv for more than one hour each night gained 15 pounds in the first semester, compared to those who watched less than one hour. they concluded that there is an association between watching tv and weight gain in college freshmen. which study design did they most likely use?

Answers

Answer:

C.  They most likely used an observational study asking students to keep track of their TV habits and weight.

A.  This is an experiment because a treatment was applied to a group.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to our question:

1. The study concluded that there is a relation between watching TV and the weight gain in college freshmen.

Now, this is possible when a group of college students were asked to participate to watch TV for more than 1 hour for a specific amount of time and have a record of their weights.

So, the study is an observational study where the habits and weights of college students were observed.

Hence, option C is correct.

2. The students were divided onto two groups where one group used the computer program and the other did not to check the improvement in the reading levels.

This means that the students were given a procedure to follow during the study in order to see the results..

So, the study is an experiment where a treatment is applied to the group of students.

Hence, option A is correct.

According to USA Today, the average cost of a private university is $50,000 with a population standard deviation of $2,500. 100 universities are randomly selected and the average income of those 100 universities was $49,450. Using the 5 step hypothesis testing process, can you support the claim that the average cost of private universities are decreasing? Use a .01 significance level. (Use the z or t value of -2.2) What is your conclusion based on p-value?

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value is less than 0.05, there is evidence to support the claim that the average cost of private universities are decreasing.

What are the hypothesis tested?

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the average cost is still of $50,000, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 50000[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the average cost is decreasing, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 50000[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.[tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis.[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population.n is the sample size.

The parameters for this problem are:

[tex]\overline{x} = 49450, \mu = 50000, \sigma = 2500, n = 100[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{49450 - 50000}{\frac{2500}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

z = -2.2.

What is the p-value and the conclusion?

Using a z-distribution calculator, for a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, with z = -2.2, the p-value is of 0.0139.

Since the p-value is less than 0.05, there is evidence to support the claim that the average cost of private universities are decreasing.

Complete the equation of the line through
(-10, 3) and (-8, -8).

Answers

The answer is y = -5.5x - 52.

First, let's find the slope of the line.

m = Δy/Δx

m = -8 - 3 / -8 - (-10)m = -11 / -8 + 10m = -11/2m = -5.5

Now, substitute the slope and one of the given points in the point slope equation.

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 3 = -5.5 (x - (-10))y - 3 = -5.5 (x + 10)y - 3 = -5.5x - 55y = -5.5x - 52

How does changing the function from f(x) = -5 cos 2x to g(x) = -5 cos 2x-3 affect the range of the function?

Answers

Each element in the range of g(x) is 3 less than the corresponding element in the range of f(x).

Answer:

See below.

In short, by having vertical shift will affect range from -1 ≤ y ≤ 1 to -1 + a ≤ y ≤ 1 + a

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, a cosine function without vertical shift will always have range equal to -1 ≤ y ≤ 1

If there is given vertical shift, our range will change to -1 + a ≤ y ≤ 1 + a

An example is if we are given the function of cos(x), this always has range of -1 ≤ y ≤ 1 because there is no vertical shift.

But if we have cos(x) + 1, we have vertical shift which is 1. Then the range will be -1+1 ≤ y ≤ 1+1 which equals to 0 ≤ y ≤ 2.

Hence, the function of -5cos(2x) has only range of -1 ≤ y ≤ 1 but the function of -5cos(2x) - 3 will have range of -1-3 ≤ y ≤ 1-3 which equals to -4 ≤ y ≤ -2
