Yes... indeed it is 1/8 because
125/1000 In simplest form is 1/8
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
Not exactly
2/10 = .2
1/4 = .25
1/4 is 0.05 bigger than 2/10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple Linear Regression
</u>
It a function that represents the relationship between two or more variables in a given data set. It uses the method of the least-squares regression line which minimizes the error between the estimate function and the real data.
Let's compute the best-fit line for the data
First, we find the sums
Then, we compute the averages values
We will also compute the sums of the cross-products and the sum of the squares
We will compute Sxy and Sxx
The slope of the linear regression function is given by
The y-intercept ot the linear function is
Thus the best-fit line is
The correct option is the last one
The answer to this equation is: 7q +12
