Number of people visiting the slopes annually = 52.25 Million

Number of people visiting the slopes annually = 52,250,000

Number of deaths annually (per year) = 34

Probability that a skier will die in a given year is calculated as = Number of deaths per year/ Total number of visitors in a given year

Probability that a skier will die in a given year = 34/52,250,000

Probability that a skier will die in a given year = 0.00000065 (Rounded to eight decimals)

Steve got his car fixed for $557. After taxes it cost him $594. What was the tax rate to the nearest %?
I am Lyosha [343]
You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us 
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427

When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.

To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7

So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%

13.7

Step-by-step explanation:

It forms a triangle.

They are trying to find the height, cause they say the east-bound car went east so that makes the bottom of the triangle, the width. They also give is the distance in between both cars so that's the hypotenuse so let's set up the equation...

15² - 6² = 189

now we square root it

√189 = 13.7
