Answer:

x = 12, y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{AD}{PS}$ = $\frac{DC}{SR}$ , substitute values

$\frac{20}{2x+6}$ = $\frac{18}{27}$ ( cross- multiply )

18(2x + 6) = 540 ( divide both sides by 18 )

2x + 6 = 30 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12

-------------------------------------------

and

$\frac{AB}{PQ}$ = $\frac{DC}{SR}$ , substitute values

$\frac{y}{24}$ = $\frac{18}{27}$ ( cross- multiply )

27y = 432 ( divide both sides by 27 )

y = 16

A hair salon completed a survey of 367 customers about satisfaction with service(Dissatisfied, Neutral, Satisfied, or Very Satis

mamaluj [8]

The results of the survey are shown in the table.

It's required to calculate the following probabilities:

a) A customer is neutral

The row labeled as 'Neutral' has a total of 79 customers out of 367 in total.

The required probability is:

$p=\frac{79}{367}$

b) A customer is a walk-in

The first column labeled as 'Walk-in' has a total of 106 customers out of 367. The required probability is

$p=\frac{106}{367}$

c) A customer is dissatisfied and a walk-in.

We have to cross the row Dissatisfied with the column Walk-in. The number of customers that have both categories is 22 out of 367.

The required probability is:

$p=\frac{22}{367}$

d) A customer is very satisfied given he saw a TV ad.

This is a conditional probability, where the total is 111 because is the given condition. The customers that have both characteristics are 33, thus the required probability is:

$p=\frac{33}{111}=\frac{11}{37}$

e) A customer is satisfied or referred.

Total satisfied = 139

Total referred = 150

With both features = 62

Total customers with one or both features: 139 + 150 - 62 = 227

We have to subtract the common feature because it was counted twice.

The required probability is:

$p=\frac{227}{367}$

A furniture company has 480 board ft of teak wood and can sustain up to 450 hours of labor each week. Each chair produced requir

miskamm [114]

The numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit is 15 chairs and 18 tables.

Since a furniture company has 480 board ft of teak wood and can sustain up to 450 hours of labor each week, and each chair produced requires 8 ft of wood and 12 hours of labor, and each table requires 20 ft of wood and 15 hours of labor, to determine, if a chair yields a profit of $ 65 and a table yields a profit of $ 90, what are the numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit, the following calculation should be done:

16 chairs; 24 tables
Time used = 16 x 12 + 24 x 15 = 192 + 360 = 552
Wood used = 16 x 8 + 24 x 20 = 128 + 480 = 608
15 chairs; 18 tables
Time used = 15 x 12 + 18 x 15 = 180 + 270 = 450
Wood used = 15 x 8 + 18 x 20 = 120 + 360 = 480
12 chairs; 28 tables
Time used = 12 x 12 + 28 x 15 = 144 + 420 = 564
Wood used = 12 x 8 + 28 x 20 = 96 + 540 = 636
18 chairs; 20 tables
Time used = 18 x 12 + 20 x 15 = 216 + 300 = 516
Wood used = 18 x 8 + 20 x 20 = 144 + 400 = 544

Therefore, the only option that meets the requirements of time and wood used is that of 15 chairs and 18 tables, whose economic benefit will be the following:

15 x 65 + 18 x 90 = X
975 + 1,620 = X
2,595 = X

Therefore, the numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit is 15 chairs and 18 tables.

Angle B measures 60° What is the measure of the angle that is complem<br>30<br>60<br>120<br>180

Liula [17]

Angle B = 60°

The complement of angle B is 90 - x.

60° + (90 - x)° = 180°
