In the real world you are not going to have a calculator on you 24/7. Nor will you have a pencil or paper to do longhand. You need to know how to accurately estimate your answers in order to be successful.

Mary had $25,000 to invest. She invested part of that amount at 3% annual interest and part at 5% annual interest for one year.
emmasim [6.3K]
(25000-f)(.03)+.05f=1100

750-.03f+.05f=1100

750+.02f=1100

.02f=350

f=$17500

So Mary invested $17500 @ 5% and 7500 at 3% to earn $1100 in interest.

The probability that event A occurs is 0.4, and the probability that events A and B both occur is 0.25. If the probability that
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The probability that event B will occur is 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

probability that event A occurs, P(A) = 0.4

the probability that events A and B both occur, P(A ∩ B) = 0.25

the probability that either event A or event B occurs, P(A ∪ B) = 0.6

To determine the probability that event B will occur, we use probability addition rule;

P(A) + P(B) = P(A ∩ B) + P(A ∪ B)

0.4 + P(B) = 0.25 + 0.6

0.4 + P(B) = 0.85

P(B) = 0.85 - 0.4

P(B) = 0.45

Therefore, the probability that event B will occur is 0.45

Y=-1/2x +7
yarga [219]

Answer:

B; (2,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So from the question, when we look at the given equation, its slope is -1/2

mathematically, when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1

thus;

m1 * m2 = -1

m2 * -1/2 = -1

-m2 = -2

m2 = 2

The general equation form is;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) = (4,0)

y-0 = 2(x-4)

y = 2x - 8

So, now we look at the point that will work for this equation

For the line that will work, if we substitute its x-value, we get the y-value

Let us take a look at option B

y = 2(2) -8 = 4-8 = -4

we can see that (2,-4) works
