Well, the decrease was 130 - 39, that is 91

so... if 130 is the 100%, what is 91 of that in percentage?
well   \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
130&100\\
91&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{130}{91}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

Use the given triangle to fill in the blank
nekit [7.7K]

tanX is 12/5.

Given:

In a right triangle,

The length of the side <em>XY</em> = 13.

The length of the side <em>YZ</em> = 12.

The length of the side <em>XZ</em>= 5.

The objective is to find tan <em>X</em>.

In a right angled triangle the largest side is always hypotenuse.

Sinec tan <em>X</em> is required to solve, then, the side <em>YZ </em>is opposite side and the side <em>XZ</em> is adjacent side.

By the trigonometric ratios, the value of tan <em>X</em> can be calculated as,

\begin{gathered} \tan X=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\ =\frac{YZ}{XZ} \\ =\frac{12}{5} \end{gathered}

Hence, the value of tanX is 12/5.

Suppose that Matthew can choose to get home from work by car or bus.
Verizon [17]

Answer:

B-91%

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: arriving home after 7 p.m.

Event B: getting home by bus.

When he chooses to get home by bus, he arrives home after 7 p.m. 25 percent of the time.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.25

Because the bus is cheaper, he uses the bus 70 percent of the time.

This means that P(B) = 0.7

Probability of getting home after 7 p.m.

70% of the time he uses bus, and by bus, he arrives arrives home after 7 p.m. 25 percent of the time.

100 - 70 = 30% of the time he uses the car, and by car, he arrives home after 7 p.m. 6 percent of the time.

So

P(A) = 0.7*0.25 + 0.3*0.06 = 0.193

What is the approximate probability that Matthew chose to get home from work by bus, given that he arrived home after 7 p.m.?

P(B|A) = \frac{0.7*0.25}{0.193} = 0.9067

Rouding up, 91%.

So the correct answer is:

B-91%
