Answer:

x = 33 $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{PT}{RS}$ = $\frac{QT}{QS}$ , substitute values

$\frac{24}{20}$ = $\frac{40}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

24x = 800 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = $\frac{800}{24}$ = 33 $\frac{1}{3}$

Stells [14]

Based on the calculation below, the balance on Neela's statement is $153.

<h3>How do we calculate the balance on a bank statement?</h3>

The balance on Neela's statement can be calculated using the following formula:

Balance on statement = Actual amount in the account - Monthly fee - Overdraft protection fee - Check written + Amount transferred ............ (1)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Balance on statement = $256 - $8 - $33 - $312 + $250

Balance on statement = $153

The nursing department of a college surveyed two hundred graduates from their programs about their current

mel-nik [20]

Answer: The required probability is 0.008.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of bachelor's degree = 0.45

Probability of working in nursing = 0.85

Probability of both = 0.4

So, Probability of getting a graduate is currently working in nursing, given that they earned a bachelor's degree would be :

$P(N|B)=\dfrac{P(N\cap B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(N|B)=\dfrac{0.4}{0.45}\\\\P(N|B)=0.008$

Hence, the required probability is 0.008.
