Can you please help me translate the argument into symbolic form?

Let p be: John goes to the beach

Let q be: He will go surfing.

Then in symbolic form, the argument becomes:

\begin{gathered} p\Rightarrow q \\ p \\ ----------- \\ \therefore q \end{gathered}

p ⇒ q

p

---------------------

∴ q

An argument is valid if the conjuction of the premises implies the conclusion.

p | q | p ⇒ q | (p ⇒ q) ∧ p | [(p ⇒ q) ∧ p] ⇒ q

---------------------------------------------------------------------\

F | F | T | F | T

F | T | T | F | T

T | F | F | F | T

T | T | T | T | T

The table above shows that the argument is a tautology.

Hence, the argument is valid

A rock band is playing a concert at Music Hall 49, which has 2,500 seats. If 80% of the tickets were sold before the night of th
nasty-shy [4]

First you must see how many seats were bought. To do this you must make a proportion

\frac{part}{whole} = \frac{part}{whole}

80 is a percent and percent's are always taken out of the 100. This means that one proportion will have 80 as the part and 100 as the whole

We want to know what 80% of 2,500 is in order to find how many seats were sold before the show. This means 2,500 is the whole and the unknown (let's make this x) is the part.

Here is your proportion:

\frac{x}{2,500} =\frac{80}{100}

Now you must cross multiply

x*100 = 80*2,500

100x = 200,000

To isolate x divide 100 to both sides

100x/100 = 200,000/100

x = 2,000

This means that before the night of the concert 2,000 seats were bought.

We are still not done with this problem because we want to know how many seats are left the night of the concert. To find this simply subtract 2,000 from the number of original seating (2,500)

2,500 - 2,000 = 500

On the night of the concert there were 500 seats left.

Hope this helped!

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Edie has a better deal since his final price is lower

Step-by-step explanation:

Cousin Edie drank all of Clark's egg nog . Edie finds a coupon for 50 cents off that can only be use at a local grocery store.Clark normally buys his egg nog at the supermarket.

The tax rate at both stores is 2.25%.

Clark buys the egg nog at $5.95 plus tax .

Edie buys the egg nog at $6.35 plus coupon plus tax.

After Edie applies the coupon , the final price is $( 6.35 - 0.50 ) = $5.85

<u>Since the percentage of tax applied is the same, the deal with lower final price is better.</u>

Hence, Edie has a better deal.
