800 * 1.20 = 960 <==

or this way..
800 + 0.20(800) = 800 + 160 = 960 <==

Given, the cost of TV = $800.

The total cost includes a VAT of 20%.

So we have to find first 20% of $800.

20% of $800 = $(800)(\frac{20}{100} )$

= $\frac{(800)(20)}{100}$

= $\frac{16000}{100}$

= $160$

So the amount of VAT = $160.

Total cost of TV = cost of TV + VAT on it

Total cost of TV = $800 + $160 = $ $(800+160)$ = $ $960$

So we have got the required answer.

Total cost of TV = $960.

Translate and solve using proportions 6.5% of what number is $3.77

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The quantity is US$ 58, which 6.5% is US$ 3.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Number = x

6.5% of x = $ 3.77

6.5% = 0.065 = 65/1,000 = 13/200 (Dividing by 5)

3.77 = 3 + 77/100 (We can't simplify 77/100)

Thus,

13/200 * x = 3 77/100

13x/200 = 377/100

13x = 754 (Multiplying by 200 at both sides)

x = 754/13 (Dividing by 13 at both sides)

x = 58

Find the dimensions of a rectangle (in m) with area 1,000 m2 whose perimeter is as small as possible. (Enter the dimensions as a

Amanda [17]

The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of its dimensions

The dimensions that minimize the perimeter are $\mathbf{10\sqrt{10 },10\sqrt{10 }}$

The area is given as:

$\mathbf{A = 1000}$

Let the dimension be x and y.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{A = xy = 1000}$

Make x the subject

$\mathbf{x = \frac{1000}{y}}$

The perimeter is calculated as:

$\mathbf{P = 2(x + y)}$

Substitute $\mathbf{x = \frac{1000}{y}}$

$\mathbf{P = 2(\frac{1000}{y} + y)}$

Expand

$\mathbf{P = \frac{2000}{y} + 2y}$

Differentiate

$\mathbf{P' = -\frac{2000}{y^2} + 2}$

Set to 0

$\mathbf{ -\frac{2000}{y^2} + 2 = 0}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{ -\frac{2000}{y^2} = -2}$

Divide both sides by -1

$\mathbf{\frac{2000}{y^2} = 2}$

Multiply y^2

$\mathbf{2000 = 2y^2}$

Divide by 2

$\mathbf{1000 = y^2}$

Take square roots of both sides

$\mathbf{y = \sqrt{1000 }}$

$\mathbf{y = 10\sqrt{10 }}$

Substitute $\mathbf{y = \sqrt{1000 }}$ in $\mathbf{x = \frac{1000}{y}}$

$\mathbf{x = \frac{1000}{\sqrt{1000}}}$

$\mathbf{x = \sqrt{1000}}$

$\mathbf{x = 10\sqrt{10 }}$

Hence, the dimensions that minimize the perimeter are $\mathbf{10\sqrt{10 },10\sqrt{10 }}$

11. An experiment is set up to study the weights of 45 frogs after they are given a hormone treatment. The population mean is 22

sveta [45]

Answer: The standard error of the sample mean = 0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard error of the sample mean = $\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ , where $\sigma$ = population standard deviation , n= sample size.

Given : n= 45 , $\sigma= 2.96$ grams

The e standard error of the sample mean $=\dfrac{2.96}{\sqrt{45}}$

$=\dfrac{2.96}{6.7082039325}\\\\\approx\ 0.44$

Hence, the standard error of the sample mean = 0.44

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 15.6 m. Find the lengths of its sides, if: The base is 3 m bigger than a leg.

klio [65]

So, an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides, we will call them x.

The base can be modeled by 3+x

So, the perimeter is equal to x + 3+x + x

15.6 = 3x + 3

12.6 = 3x

4.2 = x

So, the lengths of the sides are 4.2, 4.2, 7.2
