Answer: $1487.50

Step-by-step explanation:

hey there again!

Facts:

Principal (starting amount): $1,400

Annual interest rate: 12.5% <em>of the principal. </em>Whenever you get an annual interest rate as a percentage, its always that percentage of the starting amount.

Time given: 6 months, 1/2 a year

the question asks "total amount due' in 6 months. Basically, we want to know how much they will have in their account after 6 months.

Step 1: Find how much interest he will get in 6 months <u>as a percentage.</u>

6 months is 1/2 of a year, so find 1/2 of 12.5

1/2 of 12.5

1/2 x 12.5

0.5 x 12.5

6.25%

Step 2: Find how much interest he gets, but as a number.

Principal: $1400

6.25% of 1400= $87.50

Step 3: Find the total amount of money he will have after 6 months.

he starts with 1400, and gets an additional $87.50 added to his account after 6 months. How much does he have now?

To answer this, add to find the total:

87.50+1400= $1487.50

In triangle abc, angle A is the right angle. What is the value of y?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the side opposite to the 90 degree angle (here, side opposite to angle A) is known as the hypotenuse.

Also, the side that is "opposite" to the angle given (here side opposite is y to angle given 30 degrees) is the opposite side.

Since we want to find "opposite" and have "hypotenuse" , recalling trig ratios, we can say opposite/hypotenuse is the ratio SINE, so we can write:

$Sin(30)=\frac{y}{7}$

We solve for y:

$Sin(30)=\frac{y}{7}\\y = 7 Sin(30)$

Since the answer choice has angles in radians, we recall 30 degrees is $\frac{\pi}{6}$ radians.

Thus, the correct answer is $7Sin(\frac{\pi}{6})$ , or option A

A driver has three ways to get from one city to another. There is an 80 % chance of encountering atraffic jam given he is on rou

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The probability is 0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

What we want to calculate here is conditional probability.

Let P(A )= Probability of using route A = 50% = 0.5

Let P( B )= probability of using route B = 25% = 0.25

Let P (C )= probability of using route C = 25% = 0.25

Let T be the probability that he will be in a traffic Jam

The probability that he will be in a traffic Jam if he uses route A = 80%

Mathematically this is written as P( T | A) which is read as probability of T given A

so P( T | A) = 0.8

Same way for B and C which can be written as follows;

P( T | B) = 60% = 0.6

P( T | C) = 30% = 0.3

Now, what do we want to calculate?

He is in a traffic Jam, and we want to find the probability that he used route A. This means we want to find P(A) given T which can be written mathematically as P ( A | T)

We can find this using the other parameters and especially the equation below;

P ( A | T) = P(A) • P( T| A) / {P(A) • P ( T | A) + P(B)• P(T| B) + P(C) • P(T|C)

P( A | T) = (0.5 * 0.8)/ ( 0.5)(0.8) + (0.25)(0.6) + (0.25)(3) = 0.4/(0.4 + 0.75 + 0.075) = 0.4/0.625 = 0.64
