since the selling price is 89.83 and the cost of is 76, the tax amount is 89.83 - 76 = 13.83.

if we take 76 to be the 100%, what is 13.83 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 76 & 100\\ 13.83& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{76}{13.83}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 76x=1383\implies x=\cfrac{1383}{76}\implies x\approx 18.20$

On each round, Ann and Bob each simultaneously toss a fair coin. Let Xn be the number of heads tossed in the 2n flips which occu

Answer:

$P=\frac{2n!}{m!*(2n-m)!}*0.5^{2n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coin toss the probability of tossing a head is 0.5 (50% head/50% tails)

If n is the number of rounds and 2n the number of coins tossed (one for each player), the probability of having m heads tossed is:

$R=\frac{2n!}{m!*(2n-m)!}$

R is the number of cases (combination of coins tossed) that gives a m number of heads. Each case has a probability of $P_{case}=0.5^{2n}$ so:

$P=\frac{2n!}{m!*(2n-m)!}*0.5^{2n}$

<u>For example, to toss 4 heads in 5 rounds: </u>

n=5
2n=10
m=4

$P=\frac{10!}{4!*(10-4)!}*0.5^{10}$

$P=\frac{10*9*8*7*6!}{4!*6!}*0.5^{10}$

$P=\frac{10*9*8*7}{4!}*0.5^{10}$

$P=\frac{10*9*8*7}{4!}*0.5^{10}=0.205$

So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Last year, $3\frac{1}{2}$ acres i.e 3.5 acres produced 14,700 pounds of strawberries. So we need to determine how many strawberries were produced per acre.
