Part A)

Focus on the first column where it says "test finds student lying" since it asks "what percentage..were found to be lying". We can ignore the second column completely.

We have 282 people found to be lying based on the test (bottom of the first column). Of this total, 200 have not cheated meaning that the student isn't lying. This is based on the overall premise given at the top that states "All of them denied having cheated"

Simply divide the two values: 200/282 = 0.70921985815602 which rounds to roughly 0.7092 if you round to four decimal places

Now move the decimal over 2 spots to the right to convert to a percentage
0.7092 ---> 70.92%

Answer: 70.92%
==============================================================
Part B)

We'll use the result from part A. Subtract it from 100%

100% - 70.92% = (100 - 70.92)% = 29.08%

Answer: 29.08%

Note: another way to get this answer is to divide the values 82 over 282 to get 82/282 = 0.29078014184398 and we get the same answer roughly (after rounding)
==============================================================
Part C)

Now we focus on the second column only. We have 1718 people total and of this total, 12 have cheated. Since they initially deny cheating but they really did cheat, this is a lie they tell. 

So 12/1718 = 0.0069848661234 which rounds to 0.0070 and that converts to 0.7%

Note: this isn't 7% or 70%, its point 7 percent

Answer: 0.7%

Imagine you are creating a new number system that uses 12 as the base. how many digits would be in your system?
alexira [117]

There would be 12 different digits.

The number of this always corresponds to the number in the base. Consider our current system which is base 10. We have 10 numbers we can use for digits (0-9).  So a base 12 system would have to have 12.

Mr. Braun has $75.00 to spend on pizzas and soda pop for a picnic. Pizzas cost $9.00 each and the drinks cost $0.75 each. Five t
miv72 [106K]

The maximum  number of pizzas that Mr. Braun can buy is 5.

The equation that can be used to represent the total amount spent on soda pop and pizzas is:

$75 = 5x($0.75) + x($9)

Where:

  • x = number of pizzas that can be bought
  • 5x = total number of drinks that can be bought

In order to determine the number of pizzas that can be bought, we have to solve for x

$75 = 3.75x + 9x

$75 = $12.75x

x = $75 / 12.75

x = 5.88

If 6 pizzas are bought, 30 drinks would be bought, the total cost would be:

6($9) + 30(0.75) = $76.50

If 5 pizzas are bought, 25 drinks would be bought, the total cost would be:

5($9) + 25(0.75) = $63.75

igor_vitrenko [27]
Nice you do not know the price of the child's ticket, you represent it as X. Then you add the 2.75 to the variable. You take the unknown number and add the known. so the answer would be x+2.75

I need help please thanks
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 0

You can see the slope is rising by 1 and running (to the right) by 2. This makes the slope, or rate of change, 1/2x.

There aren`t really calculations necessary to find the rate of change, but if you need more explaining please do ask, I`m happy to help
