Store A has the best deal.
Lets say shirts are $11 a piece. If you buy 3 that is $33. If you take 25% off, you save $8.25. B only saves $5.50 and C only saves $3.30

So we are assuming that the three shirts have equal price. Let the price of one shirt be a.

In store A:

the cost is (a+a+a) -(25/100)a=3a-0.25a=2.75a

In store B: 

the cost is : a+a+50/100 a =a+a+0.5a=2.5a


In store C:

the cost is
[a-(10/100)a]+[a-(10/100)a]+[a-(10/100)a]=[a-0.1a]+[a-0.1a]+[a-0.1a]
=0.9a+0.9a+0.9a= 2.7a


thus the cost of buying the shirts from stores A, B and C is: 

2.75a, 2.5 a and 2.7 a respectively.

the best deal, is buying from store B, where the cost is the lowest: 2.5a.

Answer: store B

A jeweler needs 50 ounces of a 21% silver alloy. Find the amount of a 12% silver alloy and the amount of a 24% silver alloy he s
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

  • 12.5 ounces of 12% alloy
  • 37.5 ounces of 24% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount (in ounces) of 24% alloy in the mix. Then the amount of 12% alloy is (50 -x). The amount of silver in the mix is ...

  24%·x + 12%·(50 -x) = 21%·50

  12x = 450 . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 100 (to eliminate %), and subtract 600

  x = 37.5 . . . . . . . divide by 12

The jeweler needs to mix 37.5 ounces of 24% silver alloy with 12.5 ounces of 12% silver alloy to make 50 ounces of 21% silver alloy.

A number cube has sides that are labeled 1 to 6. Jamal rolls the number cube. What is the probability that he will roll a 22?
Tems11 [23]

-- The probability of rolling a 22 is zero.  That result is impossible, because the sides are labeled with single digits 1 through 6 .  Since 22 is not printed anywhere on the cube, it can never come up.

-- The probability of rolling a<em> 2</em> , however, is <em> 1/6</em> . <em>(B)</em>

<em></em>

The -probability of rolling something you want is always

<em>(the number of different possible results that you like) </em>

divided by

<em>(the total number of different possible results)</em>
