A man realizes he lost the detailed receipt from the store and only has the credit card receipt with the after-tax total. If the after-tax total was $1,413.10, and the tax rate in the area is 8.7%, what was the pre-tax subtotal?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The pre-tax amount was $1300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

After-tax total = $1413.10

Tax rate in the area = 8.7%

The pre-tax price would be 100% and this tax rate is an addition.

Total percent = (100+8.7)% = 108.7%

Let,

x be the pre-tax amount.

108.7% of x = 1413.10

[tex]\frac{108.7}{100}x=1413.10\\1.087x = 1413.10[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 1.087

[tex]\frac{1.087x}{1.087}=\frac{1413.10}{1.087}\\x= 1300[/tex]

Hence,

The pre-tax amount was $1300.

Anne is choosing a contractor. She has narrowed down her selection to two
companies and will base her decision on the likelihood that the job is done on
time and on budget. She uses online reviews to estimate the probabilities.
Which contractor should Anne choose to maximize the probability that the job will be done on time and on budget? Assume all events are independent.

Answers

Answer: A. Contractor A. The probability that both conditions are met is 0.93

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of two independent events happening can be found by multiplying them.

Probability of A doing the job on time and on budget:

= Probability that job is done on time * Probability it is done on budget

= 0.97 * 0.96

= 0.93

Probability of B doing the job on time and on budget:

= 0.93 * 0.98

= 0.91

Contractor A has the better probability at 0.93 so should be chosen.

If it is completely impossible to put a contract in writing, which of the following would be the best substitute?
a. having a friend witness the verbal agreement

the words "I promise" spoken in a verbal recitation of the contract
d. a firm hand-shake between all those involved in the contract
C.
Please select the best answer from the choices provided​

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the the contract will be in verbal form. no matter if it is videotaped or recorded or both a "videoed verbal contract" not just written. so like paper thst is notarized or not this is still the same bc the the same rules apply the contract is still valid. the rest of the options are more like what they call gentlemens agreements which would be the handshake type of thing. and no matter what any agreement someone has to witness the transaction or contract. so definitely the answer is B

Use the equation y = mx + b

To find the slope, take the second y value and subtract the first y value. Then take the second x value and subtract the first x value. Divide the answers. You'd get -2 in this case. -2 would be your slope (m).

The substitute any set of x and y values (either (1, 4) or (-2, 10)) and the slope into y = mx + b. You'd get 6 as your y-intercept (b).

Find the 8th term.

Answers

Answer:

0.08192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 50, 20, 8, ...

The sequence is geometric in nature

The nth term of the geometric sequence is exoressed as;

Tn = ar^{n-1}

a is the first term = 50

r is the common ratio = 20/50 = 8/20 = 2/5

n is the number of term = 8 (since we need the 8th term)

Substitute

T8 = 50(2/5)^{8-1}

T8 = 50(2/5)^7

T8 = 50(128/78,125)

T8 = 0.08192

Hence the 8th term is 0.08192

A cube with a volume of 64 cubic meters is scaled by a factor of 5. What is the volume of the
modified cube in cubic meters?

Answers

Answer:

8,000 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the volume of the modified cube in cubic meters is shown below:

Given that

Volume = 64 m^3

So each side would be

= ∛64

= 4

Now each side is scaled by 5 so each side would be

= 4 × 5m

= 20m

Now the volume of the modified cube is

= 20^3

= 8,000 m^3

Answer:

8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

When the sides of the cube are scaled by a factor of k, the volume increases by a factor of k3. Here, the new volume is 64 cubic meters × 53 = 8,000 cubic meters.

One method for estimating the availability of office space in large cities is to conduct arandom sample of offices, and calculate the proportion of offices currently being used. Suppose that realestate agents believe that p = 0.70 of all offices are currently occupied, and decide to take a sample toassess their belief. They are considering a sample size of n = 40.a)

a. Show that this sample size is large enough to justify using the normal approximation to thesampling distribution of p.
b. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of p if the real estate agents are correct?
c. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p if the real estate agents arecorrect?
d. If the real estate agents are correct, what is the probability that a sample proportion, p,would differ from p = 0.70 by as much as 0.05?

Answers

Answer:

a) Since np >= 5 and n(1-p) >= 5, the approximation is justified

b) 0.7

c) 0.0725

d) 0.5098 = 50.98% probability that a sample proportion, p,would differ from p = 0.70 by as much as 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal distribution and the central limit theorem to solve this question.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this question, we have that:

[tex]p = 0.7, n = 40[/tex]

a. Show that this sample size is large enough to justify using the normal approximation to thesampling distribution of p.

We need that: np >= 5, n(1-p) >= 5. So

np = 40*0.7 = 28 > 5

n(1-p) = 40*0.3 = 12 > 5

Since both conditions are satisfied, the approximation is justified.

b. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of p if the real estate agents are correct?

This is [tex]\mu = p = 0.7[/tex]

c. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p if the real estate agents are correct?

This is [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.7*0.3}{40}} = 0.0725[/tex]

d. If the real estate agents are correct, what is the probability that a sample proportion, p,would differ from p = 0.70 by as much as 0.05?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.7 + 0.05 = 0.75 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.7 - 0.05 = 0.65. So

X = 0.75

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.75 - 0.7}{0.0725}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.69[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.69[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7549

X = 0.65

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.65 - 0.7}{0.0725}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.69[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.69[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2451

0.7549 - 0.2451 = 0.5098

0.5098 = 50.98% probability that a sample proportion, p,would differ from p = 0.70 by as much as 0.05

z varies jointly as x and y. z=60 when x=5 and y=6. find z when x = 7 and y=3

Answers

Answer:

z = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be answered in 2 steps as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of the constant of the variation

The equation for the joint variation can be given as follows:

z = cxy ................... (1)

Where;

z = 60

c = constant = ?

x = 5

y = 6

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve c, we have:

60 = c * 5 * 6

60 = c * 30

c = 60 / 30

c = 2

Step 2: find z when x = 7 and y = 3

Since from Step 1 c = 2, we now use equation (1) and substitute the values into it to find z as follows:

z = 2 * 7 * 3

z = 42

Examination of the values shows you that each y-value is 10 times the corresponding x value. That means the slope is 10. (If the ratios were different, then the slope formula would need to be used. The fact that they are all the same means y is proportional to x.)

How much water do you add to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar.

Answers

Answer:

You know that 5 g of sugar form 12%. Let x g be the amount of water needed. The total amount of syrup will be x+5 g. Then

5 g - 12%,

x+5 g - 100%.

mathematically you can write a proportion;

5/x+5=12/100

=>500=12(x+5)

,500=12x+60

,12x=400,

x=440/12

=110/3

=36 2/3g of water

36.66 grams of water is added  to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.

Let the amount of water is added be 'x'.

Amount of sugar = 5 g

We need to make 12% of sugar syrup.

x grams of water is added to 5 g of sugar, to 12% of sugar syrup.

5/5+x=12/100

Apply cross multiplication

5×100=12(5+x)

500=60+12x

Subtract 60 from both sides

440=12x

Divide both sides by 12

x=36.66

Hence, 36.66 grams of water is added  to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar.
