eased from $25 to $28 per $1000 assessed valuation. By what amount should the monthly rent have been raised to absorb the increase in that year's taxes?

We first calculate the percentage increase on the tax

Old value = 25×9 = 225 ⇒ The value 9 represents the 9 lots of thousands of the house's value
New value = 28×9 = 252

Increase in tax = 252 - 225 =27  
Percentage increase = (27÷225) ×100 = 12%

The amount of yearly rent would be then increased by 12%

Monthly rent = $60
Yearly rent = 60×12 = $720
Increase by 12% = 720×1.12 = 806.4 ⇒ The value 1.12 is the multiplier, obtained from 100%+12%=112%=1.12

The monthly rent is 806.4÷12 = $67.20 which is an increase of $7.20 per month

An experiment consist of rolling 3 fair dice (1 red die, a blue die, and a white die) and recording the number rolled on each di
Setler79 [48]
In 1, t<span>here are 6 outcomes for each die, so for three dice, the total combination is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 outcomes. Hence, t</span><span>he probability of any individual outcome is 1/216 </span>

The outcomes that will add up to 6 are 
<span>1+1+4 </span>
<span>1+4+1 </span>
<span>4+1+1 </span>
<span>1+2+3 </span>
<span>1+3+2 </span>
<span>2+1+3 </span>
<span>2+3+1 </span>
<span>3+1+2 </span>
<span>3+2+1 </span>
<span>2+2+2 </span>

<span>Hence the probability is </span><span>10/216 </span>

In 3, the minimum sum of the three dice is 3. so we start with this 
<span>P(n = 3) </span>
<span>1+1+1 ; </span><span>1/216 </span>

<span>P(n = 4) </span>
<span>1+1+2 </span>
<span>1+2+1 </span>
<span>2+1+1 ; </span><span>3/216 </span>

<span>P(n = 5) </span>
<span>1+1+3 </span>
<span>1+3+1 </span>
<span>3+1+1 </span>
<span>1+2+2 </span>
<span>2+1+2 </span>
<span>2+2+1; </span><span>6/216 

The sum in 3 is 10/216 or 5/108</span>
