1. A website sells sweaters. The amount of sales p(c) varies directly with the number of customers c. Ten customers bought a tot

al of $455 worth of sweaters.
Which equation can be used to find the sales for c customers?

A. P(c) = 45.5c
B. P(c) = 455c
C. P(c) = 4550/c
D. P(c) = 455/c

2. The time it takes to wash all the windows on a large building W(x) varies inversely with the number of workers assigned to the job x. It takes 6 hours to complete the job when 4 workers are assigned to it.

Which equation can be used to find the time to complete the job when x workers are assigned to it?

A. W(x) = 1.5x
B. W(x) = 24x
C. W(x) = 10/x
D. W(x) = 24/x

Answer: 1. A) P(c) = 45.5c

2. B) W(x) = 24x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If the amount of sales p(c) varies directly with the number of customers c, mathematically we have;

p(c) = kc where k is the constant of proportionality

Since ten customers bought a total of $455 worth of sweaters,

p(c) = $455 and c = 10

Substituting this values in the equation we have to get k

$455= 10k

k = $455/10

k = $45.5... (1)

To find the sales p(c) for c customers, we substitute the value of k in the formula

p(c) = kc

p(c) = $44.5c (A)

b) If the time it takes to wash all the windows on a large building W(x) varies inversely with the number of workers assigned to the job x, we will have,

W(x) = k/x (since it is inverse)

If it takes 6 hours to complete the job when 4 workers are assigned to it, the equation becomes;

6= k/4

k = 24... (1)

The equation that can be used to find the time to complete the job when x workers are assigned to it will be;

W(x) = kx

Since k = 24, we will substitute it in the formula to have;

W(x) = 24x which is the required equation (B)

To solve this we are going to use the future value of annuity due formula: FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{kt} -1}{ \frac{r}{n} } ]
where
FV is the future value P is the periodic payment r is the interest rate in decimal form n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year k is the number of payments per year t is the number of years

We know for our problem that P=295 and t=6. To convert the interest rate to decimal for, we are going to divide the rate by 100%:
r= \frac{10}{100}
r=0.1
Since the payment is made quarterly, it is made 4 times per year; therefore, k=4.
Since the type of the annuity is due, payments are made at the beginning of each period, and we know that we have 4 periods, so n=4.
Lets replace those values in our formula:

FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{kt} -1}{ \frac{r}{n} } ]
FV=(1+ \frac{0.1}{4} )*295[ \frac{(1+ \frac{0.1}{4} )^{(4)(6)} -1}{ \frac{0.1}{4} }  ]
FV=9781.54

We can conclude that the amount of the annuity after 10 years is $9,781.54

A sample of 100 wood and 100 graphite tennis rackets are taken from the warehouse. if 13 wood and 10 graphite are defective and
Nimfa-mama [501]

Let's split the problem in non-intersecting subsets: we have 87 good wood racquets, 13 defective wood rackets, 90 good graphite racquets, 10 defective graphite rackets.


The probability that the racket is wood or defective covers the following subsets: good wood, defective wood and defective graphite, which have, respectively, 87, 13 and 10 elements.


Since the total is 200 elements, the probability is


\frac{87+13+10}{200} = \frac{110}{200} = 0.55
