Answer:

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price is 499

Discount = original price * percent off

Discount = 499 * .18

               =89.82

The sale price = original price minus the discount

sale price = 499-89.82

sale price = 409.18

Sales tax = sale price * tax rate

                = 409.18 * 8.875%

                =409.18*.08875

                 =36.314725

Rounding to the nearest cent

                     36.31

Final cost = sale price + sales tax

                  =409.18+36.31

                   445.49

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee.
svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the number of cards Kenny has

Let Y is the number of cards Lee has

1. Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee, it means

X = Y + 5/7X (1)

2. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee, it means:

X + 50%X = Y +  220 (2)

So, we solve the 2 equations to find out X and Y

\left \{ {{X=Y + 5/7X} \atop {1.5X=Y +220}} \right.

<=> X = \frac{3080}{17} and Y = \frac{880}{17}

<=> X ≈181 and Y ≈ 52

stira [4]

Answer:

The 't' test statistic = 1.46 < 1.69

The test of hypothesis is H 0 :μ = 800 is accepted

A sample of 30 bulbs are found came from average µ= 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Given population of mean μ = 800

given size of small sample n =30

sample standard deviation 'S' = 45

Mean value of the sample χ = 788

Null hypothesis H_{0} =µ  =800

alternative hypothesis  H_{1} = µ ≠ 800

<u>Step 2</u>:-

The 't' test statistic t =  \frac{x-μ}{\frac{sig}{\sqrt{n} } }

                             t = \frac{788-800}{\frac{45}{\sqrt{30} } }

                       t = \frac{12}{8.215} = 1.4607

<u>Step 3</u>:-

The degrees of freedom γ = n-1 = 30-1 =29

From "t" value from table at 0.05 level of significance ( t = 1.69)

The calculated value t = 1.4607 < 1.69

Therefore The null hypothesis H_{0} ' is accepted.

<u>conclusion</u>:-

A sample of 30 bulbs are came found from average µ= 800
