Find two positive numbers such that the sum of the first and twice the second is 88

abruzzese [7]

This is fairly simple. Divide 2,871,000 by 10 and that's your answer!

$\frac{2,871,000}{10} =287,100$

Also, since you're dividing by a factor of 10 (or in this case, 10) you can just take away as many places as are zeros in the number you're dividing from. This works for 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, etc. In this case, since there is only one zero in 10 you only take away one place marking, which gives you 287,100.

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 42%. Part 1 out of 4

BigorU [14]

Answer:

0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the old hardcover books was sold for b dollars. But the manager markdown the hardcover books by 42%.

The expression of the markdown using a decimal can be represented below.

Recall the markdown is 42 %. If you want to convert from percentage to a decimal, you have to move the decimal point two places to the left . The percentage sign is removed at this stage and the value is represent in decimal. Or you can just divide the percentage value by 100.

In our case the percentage value can be solved as 42/100 = 0.42 in decimal or by just simply moving the decimal points two places to the left which is 0.42.

HELP A.S.A.P!!!! The data to represent average test scores for a class of 16 students includes an outlier value of 78. If the ou

kolezko [41]

When the outlier is removed The mean would increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Outliers are the value that lies outside the set of data. i.e. the data doesn't fit in the group.

Removing outliers can affect mean more than median. Because outlier removal sometimes affect the median but in a small percentage or sometimes it will remain the same.

Let us prove, consider 16 values one with 78 and other 15 with values nearly 85, 84 that will give the mean value as 84.

78, 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85.

Mean = $\frac{Sum of the values}{Number of values}$ .
