John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 127 people who walked by his store, 58 of whom came into the store. Of

the 58, only 25 bought something in the store. Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something (put your answer as a fraction).

So probabilities are defined as "what we want to happen" divided by "all of the options".  127 is all the people who walked by.  25 is all of the people who did what we want.  So, 25/127 = .1969 or 19.69%.

Strangely, one could ponder this question in another way.  One could first get the probability that they walk in (58/127) and then multiply it by the probability that they buy something (25/58).  This turns out to give you the same answer.

500 in the ratio 2:3
irina1246 [14]
500 in 2:3 is saying that there are five different parts (2 + 3)
This means that 500 needs to be split into five, which is 100.
After that all you need to do is put 2 'sections' on one side and 3 on the other.

For example, 2 : 3 = 2( x 100) : 3( x 100)
                                = 200 : 300

Describe the sequence of transformations for which Triangle B is the image of Triangle A.
Helga [31]

Answer:

  • reflection in x = 1
  • translation up 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The orientation of B is the opposite of the orientation of A, so a reflection is involved. The smallest angle is at the bottom in both figures, and the largest angle is on the right in A and the left in B, so the reflection is left-right, rather than up-down.

The point midway between the largest angle vertices is on the vertical line x=1, so that line can be used for reflection. Reflecting A across that line will put its large-angle vertex at (3, 0), so a translation up 2 units is also needed.

The reflection on x=1 and translation up 2 can be done in either order.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A combination of reflection and translation is called a "glide reflection." Our choice of x = 1 as the line of reflection takes care of any horizontal translation that would be required if a different vertical line were used. For example, reflection across the y-axis would require a subsequent translation up 2 and right 2.

Find the amount of interest payable if $400 is borrowed at 14% interest and is to be repaid in 6 months
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the Principal amount  borrowed = $400

Rate of Interest  = 14%

Time = 6 months  = 6 / 12 years  = 0.5 year

Now, SIMPLE INTEREST = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

So, here SI  = SI = \frac{400 \times 14 \times 0.5}{100}   =  28

or, SI = $28

Hence, the amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.
