S=c+mc
s-c=mc
(s-c)/c=m
m=(s-c)/c

Answer:

m=\frac{s-c}{c}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

s=c+mc

Now, to find the expression for m, we just have to isolate it. First, we have to move the term c to the other side of the equation, and then to move the coefficient c, which is gonna pass to the other side dividing.

s=c+mc\\s-c=mc\\\frac{s-c}{c}=m\\m=\frac{s-c}{c}

Therefore, the percent markup is defined as the difference between the selling price and cost, divided by that cost.

Experimental probability = 1/5

Theoretical probability = 1/4

note: 1/5 = 0.2 and 1/4 = 0.25

=============================================

How I got those values:

We have 12 hearts out of 60 cards total in our simulation or experiment. So 12/60 = (12*1)/(12*5) = 1/5 is the experimental probability. In the simulation, 1 in 5 cards were a heart.

Theoretically it should be 1 in 4, or 1/4, since we have 13 hearts out of 52 total leading to 13/52 = (13*1)/(13*4) = 1/4. This makes sense because there are four suits and each suit is equally likely.

The experimental probability and theoretical probability values are not likely to line up perfectly. However they should be fairly close assuming that you're working with a fair standard deck. The more simulations you perform, the closer the experimental probability is likely to approach the theoretical one.

For example, let's say you flip a coin 20 times and get 8 heads. We see that 8/20 = 0.40 is close to 0.50 which is the theoretical probability of getting heads. If you flip that same coin 100 times and get 46 heads, then 46/100 = 0.46 is the experimental probability which is close to 0.50, and that probability is likely to get closer if you flipped it say 1000 times or 10000 times.

In short, the experimental probability is what you observe when you do the experiment (or simulation). So it's actually pulling the cards out and writing down your results. Contrast with a theoretical probability is where you guess beforehand what the result might be based on assumptions. One such assumption being each card is equally likely.

Name the property used to make the conclusion. If x+ 3 = 17, then x = 14 -
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Subtraction property of inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Definition of Subtraction property

Subtraction property of equality refers to balancing an equation by using the same mathematical operation (minus) on both sides.

Step 2: Relate the definition above with the given question.

It can be seen from the statements in the question that 3 was subtracted from both sides of the initial equation to get:

x + 3 = 17 \\ x + 3 - 3 = 17 - 3 \\  x = 14

What is the equation of the sinusoid shown in the graph?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

<em>Answer: C</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Cosine Function</u>

The graph of a cosine function is a sinusoid that starts at its maximum value of 1 at x=0 and takes x=2π radians to complete a full cycle. The function of the parent cosine function is:

y=\cos x

Both the amplitude A and the angular frequency w of a cosine can be modeled by the function

y=A\cos(\omega x)

The graph of the cosine function shown in the figure has an amplitude of A=3 and it completes a full cycle at x=π/2, thus:

\frac{\pi}{2}\omega =2\pi

Thus:

\omega = 4

Therefore, the equation of the sinusoid is:

y=3\cos (4x)

Answer: C
