Rafael has saved up $650 to buy a new laptop. The laptop he wants is in stores for $749.99 but is on sale for 25% off. After the discount is removed, a tax rate of 5.75% is added on. After Rafael buys the laptop, how much money will he have left over? Remember to round to the nearest hundredth as you go because this is money.

Answers

Answer 1

The amount of money left over after buying the laptop is $55.17.

How to calculate the value?

From the information, the laptop he wants is in stores for $749.99 but is on sale for 25% off and after the discount is removed, a tax rate of 5.75% is added on.

This will be:

= $749.99 - (25% × $749.99)

= $749.99 - $187.50

= $562.49

The addition of the tax will be:

= $562.49 + (5.75% × $562.49)

= $562.49 + $32.34

= $594.83

The money left over will be:

= $650 - $594.83

= $55.17

if saint cloud is growing according to the equation pn= 200(1.03)n where n is years after 2010, and the population is measured in thousands. find when the population will be 400 thousand.

Answers

In 2267 year, this population would be 400000.

From the question, we have

population is growing as  Pn = 200*(1.03)n

substituting the value, we get

400000 = 200*(1.03)n

2000 = 1.03n

ln(2000) = n*ln(1.03)

n = ln(20000) / ln(1.03)

n = 257.15

2010 + 257.15 = 2267 year , this population would be 400000.

Answers

The standard error for the sample was 0.13 when "for the 25 students, the standard deviation of grade points was 0.65 and the mean was 2.89."

What is standard error?

The standard deviation of a statistic's sampling distribution, or an estimate of that standard deviation, is the statistic's standard error. The term "standard error of the mean" is used when referring to a statistic that is the sample mean. By dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size, the standard error is determined. By taking into account the sample-to-sample variability of the sample means, it provides the precision of a sample mean.

Here,

The standard error=standard deviation/√number of samples

=0.65/√25

Given that the coefficient of x³ is twice the coefficient of x² in the binomial expansion of f(x)

(a) It is proved that n = 6k + 2

(b)k = 2 and n=14

(c) After expansion, the equation is
   1 + 14x + 91/4x^2 + 1001/2x^3 + 1001/16x^4 + 1001/16x^5

What is the binomial theorem?

The algebraic expansion of a binomial's powers is described by the binomial theorem (also known as binomial expansion) in elementary algebra.
The theorem states that the polynomial (x + y)n can be expanded into a sum including terms of the form axbyc, where the exponents b and c are nonnegative integers and b + c = n, and the coefficient an of each term is a particular positive integer dependent on n and b.

Solution Explained:


f(x)= (1+x/k)^n

Given that the coefficient of x^3 is twice the coefficient of x^2 in the binomial expansion of f(x)

a)

Coeff of x^3 = 1/6[n(n-1)(n-2)/k3]

Coeff of x^2 = 1/2[n(n-1)/k2]

1/6[n(n-1)(n-2)/k3] = 2* 1/2[n(n-1)/k2]

Canceling on both sides gives:

(n-2)/(6k) = 1

n = 6k+2        Hence proved

Given also that the coefficients of x^4 and x^5 are equal and non-zero,

b)

Coeff x^4 = 1/24 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/k4

Coeff x^5 = 1/120 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)/k5

1/120 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)/k5 = 1/24 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/k4

Canceling gives:

(n-4)/(120k) = 1/24

n = 5k+4

From previous:

n = 6k+2 = 5k+4

k = 2

n=14

Using these values of k and n,

c)

The equation of the parabola is f(x) = 7(x-3)^2+5.

Given:

The equation of the parabola that has the same shape has f(x) = 7x^2 but with vertex(3,5) in the form of f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

If the parabola has same shape then its a values are same.

so f(x) = 7x^2

here a = 7

so the equation with vertex (3,5) also has a value is 7.

(h,k) = (3,5)

f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k

= 7(x-3)^2 + 5.

Therefore the equation of the parabola is f(x) = 7(x-3)^2+5.

mandy begins bicycling west at 30 miles per hour at 11:00 a.m. if liz leaves from the same point 20 minutes later bicycling west at 36 miles per hour, when will she catch mandy?

Answers

The time at which Liz will catch up with Mandy is 1 pm.

Here we have to find the time when Mandy and Liz meet.

Let t be the time taken by Liz to meet Mandy

Given:

Speed of Mandy = 30mile/hr

Speed of Liz = 36 miles/hr

Formula:

Speed = Distance/ time

Distance by Mandy = 30t

Distance by Liz = 36( t - 20/60)

As the distance covered by both is the same. So we have

30t = 36( t - 1/3)

6t = 12

t = 2

2 hours past 11 am is 1 pm.

Therefore Liz catch Mandy at 1 pm.

6-3k = -3k+2

Now, moving -3k from the left hand side to the right hand side will result in the change of the sign from minus to plus:

6-3k+3k = 2

Now, 3k will get subtracted from 3k. So, we do not have any variable left for this equation.

where m is the rate of change, b is the initial value of y and y, x are variables.

Let y represent the elevation of the road after x miles.

After 2 miles, the elevation is 5500 feet above sea level.

5500 = 2m + b   (1)

After 4 miles, the elevation is 6200 feet above sea level.

6200 = 4m + b   (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2, we get

m = 350, b = 4800

Subtraction represents the operation of removing objects from a collection. The minus sign signifies subtraction −. For example, there are nine oranges arranged as a stack (as shown in the above figure), out of which four oranges are transferred to a basket, then there will be 9 – 4 oranges left in the stack, i.e. five oranges. Therefore, the difference between 9 and 4 is 5, i.e., 9 − 4 = 5. Subtraction is not only applied to natural numbers but also can be incorporated for different types of numbers. The letter "-" stands for subtraction. Minuend, subtrahend, and difference are the three numerical components that make up the subtraction operation.

1 bottle = 335 milliliters

No. of bottles of water Michael drank = 6

                                                              = 6 * 335 milliliters

                                                              = 2010 milliliters

                                                              = 2010/30 fl oz

                                                              = 67 fl oz

No. of bottles of water Lydia drank = 3

                                                           = 1005 milliliters

                                                           = 1005/30 fl oz

                                                           = 33.5 fl oz

Answers

Answer:
Jenna sold 280 boxes, Becca sold 105 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:
For every 3 boxes B sold, J sold 8 boxes and ended with a total of 385 boxes sold.
3b+8j=385
From how the question is asked, we can assume that each round of sales would equal 11 total sales. (3b+8j=11)
Knowing the sales take place in intervals of 11, we can solve the problem by doing 385/11.
385/11=35
Finally, with 35 rounds of sales happening and knowing Jenna sells 8 while Becca sells 3 at each one, all that's left to do is multiply.
8x35=280
3x35=105
To be sure we can check our answer by adding them together, 280+105=385.
