The price for a TV was decreased by 20% and then by 10%. By what percent was the new price lower than the original?

1 answer:

7 0

Let's say the tv was 100$ . Reduced by 20% means the tv is now 100 - 20 = 80% of the original price.

0.8(100) = 80$
Reduced again; by 10% means that it is now 100-10 = 90% of the 80$
0.9(80) = 72$

sale price ÷ original price

72$ / 100$ = 0.72 which is 72% of the original price. Which is a mark down of:
100 - 72 = 28%

The new price is 28% lower than the original price.

Answer: $107,836.69 or about $107,837 (to the nearest dollar)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to the accumulated amount received after investing principal amount (P) at rate of interest (r) compounded monthly for t months :

$A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{12})^{t}$

As per given , A = $130,000

r= 7.5% = 0.075

t= 30 months

Now,

$130000=P(1+\dfrac{0.075}{12})^{30}\\\\\Rightarrow 130000=P(1+0.00625)^{30}\\\\\Rightarrow 130000=P(1.00625)^{30}\\\\\Rightarrow 130000=P \times1.20552661036\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{130000}{1.2055266}=107,836.69$

Hence he need to invest $107,836.69 .

Answer:

Probability that detector B goes off is '0.615'

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1) Probability that detector A goes off and detector B does not go off is 0.25.

2)Probability that detector A does not go off is 0.35.

3)Probability that detector A goes off is (1-0.35)=0.65

Assuming that

Probability that detector B goes off is 'p' Hence the probability that detector B does not goes off is (1-p)

Thus the probability that detector A goes off and detector B does not go off is product of the individual probabilities

$P(E)=0.65\times (1-p)\\\\0.65\times (1-p)=0.25\\\\0.65-0.65p=0.25\\\\0.65-0.25=0.65p\\\\\therefore p=\frac{0.40}{0.65}=0.615$

Probability that detector B goes off is '0.615'

Answer: I would say move 2 unit down

Explanation:

If y = (-10/6)x + 10 is the line in pic

And if the y-int move to 8 and keep using the same slope:

y = (-10/6)x + 8

If we were to draw we can see that we start at unit 8 then move 10 unit and move to the right 6 unit we can see that the line move down 2 unit.
