If 19 out of 28 renters keep a pet, there are $28-19 = 9$ renters who don't keep a pet.

Whenever you have a subset of some set, and you want to know which percentage of the set the subset represents, you simply have to compute

$\dfrac{\text{number of elements in the subset}}{\text{number of elements in the set}}\times 100$

So, in your case, you're wondering what percentage of 28 does 9 represent. So, the formula becomes

$\dfrac{9}{28}\times 100 = 0.32\overline{142857}\times 100 = 32.\overline{142857} \approx 32.14\%$

Answer:

$= \frac{\frac{75}{100}\times 1000 + \frac{25}{100} \times \frac{60}{100}\times 1000 }{(1+\frac{15}{100})^3 }$

$=\frac{0.75\times 1000 + 0.25\times 0.60 \times 1000}{(1+0.15)^3}$

$=\frac{750+0.25\times 0.60\times 1000}{1.15^3} \\\\=\frac{750+150}{1.520875} =\frac{900}{1.520875} \\\\=591.76$

Step-by-step explanation:

= (probability of entire face value paid*face value+probability of entire face value not paid*percent of face value paid*face value)/(1+discount rate)^years to maturity

probability of entire face value paid = 75%

face value = 1000

probability of entire face value not paid = 25%

percent of face value paid= 60%

discount rate = 15%

years to maturity = 3

$= \frac{\frac{75}{100}\times 1000 + \frac{25}{100} \times \frac{60}{100}\times 1000 }{(1+\frac{15}{100})^3 }$

$=\frac{0.75\times 1000 + 0.25\times 0.60 \times 1000}{(1+0.15)^3}$

$=\frac{750+0.25\times 0.60\times 1000}{1.15^3} \\\\=\frac{750+150}{1.520875} =\frac{900}{1.520875} \\\\=591.76$

Pythagorean Theorem with Known Legs

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$\sqrt{170} = c$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle

We will use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

11^2 + 7^2 = c^2

121 + 49 = c^2

170 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

$\sqrt{170} = c$
