Given that:
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach, if Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3 .
To find:
The equation that can be used to solve for zach's age.
Solution:
Let the age of zach be Z.
Zach added 8 to his age = Z+8
And multiplied this sum by 3 = 3(Z+8)
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach = 6Z
Now,
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the required equation is is age of zach is 8 years.
Answer:
as written: 2500.2
as intended: 3000
Step-by-step explanation:
20% = 0.2, so adding 0.2 to 2500 gives 2500.2
_____
We suspect you want to add 20% of 2500 to 2500. That is ...
2500 + 20%×2500
= 2500 + 0.20×2500
= 2500 + 500
= 3000

<em>Comment on percentages</em>
A percentage is a pure number. It is a ratio of like quantities, so has no units.* A <em>useful</em> percentage always has a base. That is, it is a percentage <em>of something</em>. Sometimes that base may be unclear or unstated, in which case the percentage might very well be considered to be meaningless.
In any event, a percentage is simply a (unitless) fraction. The "%" symbol means the same thing as "/100", so 20% means 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5.
The very clear math expression 2500 +20% means simply 2500 + 1/5, which is the mixed number 2500 1/5 or the decimal value 2500.2. Usually, when we want to add a percentage to some value, we want the percentage to be <em>of the original value</em>. When that is written as a math expression, it must show this:
2500 + 20% of 2500
2500 + 20%×2500
2500(1 +20%)
_____
* The concentration or potency of some medicines or other mixtures may be expressed as a percentage that is the ratio of one unit to a different unit, typically weight per volume. That is, a "0.1%" preparation may be 0.1 grams per 100 mL, for example. You have to read the label to determine whether this is the case. Mathematically, this is not a percentage, but is a non-standard use of the "%" symbol to indicate a ratio to 100 of something.
Answer: provided in the explanation segment
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). from the question, we can see that since that б is known, we can use standard normal, z.
we are asked to find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error?
⇒ 80% confidence interval for the average weight of Allen's hummingbirds is given thus;
x ± z * б / √m
which is
3.15 ± 1.28 * 0.32/√10
= 3.15 ± 0.1295 = 3.0205 or 3.2795
(b). normal distribution of weight (c) б is known
(c). option (a) and (e) are correct
(d). from the question, let sample size be given as S
this gives';
1.28 * 0.32/√S = 0.15
√S = (1.28 * 0.32) / 0.15 = 2.73
S = 7.4529
cheers i hope this helps
Answer:
$68
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the demand equation for Turbos as 
, where q is the number of buggies the company can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy.
Let us find revenue function by multiplying price of p units by demand function as:
Revenue function: 
Since revenue function is a downward opening parabola, so its maximum point will be vertex.
Let us find x-coordinate of vertex using formula 
.
The maximum revenue would be the y-coordinate of vertex.
Let us substitute 
in revenue formula.
Therefore, the company should sell each buggy for $68 to get the maximum revenue of $18,496.
