To find the percentage, you divide the new price ($39.90) by the original price ($38), and the multiply it by 100 to change the answer from a decimal to a percentage:

39.90 / 38 x 100 = 105

So 39.90 is 105% of 38

To get our final answer, subtract this by 100%

105 - 100 = 5%

ANSWER: So the percentage increase of the price is 5%  ($1.90)

A banks loan officer rates applicants for credit. The ratings are normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a standard deviati
Alona [7]

Answer:

2.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

mean (m) = 200

standard deviation (sd) = 50

sample size = n = 40

the probability that their mean is above 21.5 is determined as follows:

P (x> 21.5) = P [(x - m) / (sd / n ^ (1/2))> (21.5 - 200) / (50/40 ^ (1/2))]

P (x> 21.5) = P (z> -22.57)

this value is very strange, therefore I suggest that it is not 21.5 but 215, therefore it would be:

P (x> 215) = P [(x - m) / (sd / n ^ (1/2))> (215 - 200) / (50/40 ^ (1/2))]

P (x> 215) = P (z> 1.897)

P (x> 215) = 1 - P (z <1.897)

We look for this value in the attached table of z and we have to:

P (x> 215) = 1 - 0.9713 (attached table)

P (x> 215) =.0287

Therefore the probability is approximately 2.87%

Solve for x. 12x+252=324
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+252=324

Subtract 252 from each side

12x+252-252=324-252

12x =72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x =6

0.75h + 3 = 12 <br> What's the answer?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

h = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

0.75h + 3 = 12

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>h</u></em>

  1. Subtract 3 on both sides:                    0.75h = 9
  2. Divide 0.75 on both sides:                  h = 12

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in h into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>h</em>:                    0.75(12) + 3 = 12
  2. Multiply:                               9 + 3 = 12
  3. Add:                                     12 = 12

Here we see that 12 does indeed equal 12.

∴ h = 12 is a solution of the equation.
