Lucy is working with a series whose first term is 12 and that is generated by the equation t(n) = −9 + 21n. The sum of her serie

s is 3429. How many terms are in her series? *hint: the last term can be written as -9 + 21n if we say there are n terms. You will need to solve a quadratic equation to solve for n.

There are 18 terms are in her series

<h3>What is Arithmetic progression series?</h3>

Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in order in which the difference of any two consecutive numbers is a constant value.

Given that: t(n) = −9 + 21n=l

a= 12, Sum = 3429

As, Sum of series =3429

     n/2 (a+l) =3429

     n/2 (12 +21n-9)= 3429

     n/2 (3+21n)=3429

     21n² + 3n= 6858

     21n² + 3n- 6858=0

    7n² + n- 2286=0

For solving for n, get

    n= 18 or n= -127/7

Thus, there 18 terms in the series.

It is known that 10% of the calculators shipped from a particular factory are defective. What is the probability that exactly th
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:0.0081  or 0.81%

Step-by-step explanation:

The required probability is P(3,5,0.1)= C5 3 * p^3*q^2, where

C5 3=  5!/3/2=4*5/2=10

p is the probability that one randomly selected calculator is defective= 10%=0.1

q is the probability that one randomly selected calculator is non-defective.

q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9

So P(3,5,0.1)= 10*0.1^3*0.9^2=0.01*0.81=0.0081

A department store sells a pair of shoes with an 87% markup. If the store bought the pair of shoes for $55.25, what is the selli
kolbaska11 [484]
Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:

\sf 55.25\cdot 87\%

Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):

\sf 55.25\cdot 0.87

Multiply:

\sf\approx 48

This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:

\sf 48+55.25\approx\boxed{\sf \$ 103}

If you have 80 employees and you grew 116%, what was the amount of original employees?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original employee be x , this means that

116% of x = 80

\frac{116x}{100} = 80

116x = 8000

divide through by 116

x = 8000/116

x = 68.96551724

Since we are dealing with employees , therefore x ≈ 69

This means that there were 69 employees originally
