280 * 0.6 = 168
168 is the amount it cost the store to buy the coat.
168 * 0.7 = 117.60
it would cost an employee 117.60 to purchase the coat at the sale

Kristen invests $ 5745 in a bank. The bank 6.5% interest compounded monthly. How long must she leave the money in the bank for i
podryga [215]

Answer:

1. 10.7 years

2. 17.0 years

3. 2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for compounded interest

A=P\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt},

where

A is final value, P is initial value, r is interest rate (as decimal), n is number of periods and t is number of years.

In your case,

1. P=$5745, A=2P=$11490, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then

11490=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},\\ \\2=(1.0054)^{12t},\\ \\12t=\log_{1.0054}2,\\ \\t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_ {1.0054}2\approx 10.7\ years.

2. P=$5745, A=3P=$17235, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then


17235=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},

3=(1.0054)^{12t},

12t=\log_{1.0054}3,

t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_{1.0054}3\approx 17.0\ years.

3. <u>1 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0054)^{60}\approx \$7936.39.

<u>2 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=4 (compounded monthly), r=0.0675 (6.75%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.0675}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0169)^{20}\approx \$8032.58.

The best will be 2nd option, because $8032.58>$7936.39

What is the solution to the equation 3x-5=2x+8+x?
Marysya12 [62]
So when solving this you are going to have to solve the equation.
Okay so first thing we need to do is simplify both sides of your equation so:
3x−5=<span>2x+8+x
</span>Simplifying process:
<span><span><span>3x</span>+</span>−5</span>=<span><span><span>2x</span>+8</span>+<span>x
</span></span><span>Combine Like Terms </span>⇒ 3x−5=<span>(2x+x)+(8)
</span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>3x</span>+<span>8
</span></span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>3x</span>+<span>8
</span></span>Second thing we are now going to do is s<span>ubtract 3x from both sides<span> so:
</span></span><span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>−<span>3x</span></span>=<span><span><span>3x</span>+8</span>−<span>3<span>x
</span></span></span><span>−5</span>=<span>8
</span>Final step is to add 5 to both sides:
−5+5=<span>8+5
</span>0=<span>13
</span>The answer to your question is "<span>There are no solutions"</span>

An economy pack of highlighters contains 12 yellow, 6 blue, 4 green, and 3 orange highlighters. An experiment consists of random
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The probability of choosing a blue or yellow highlighter when one yellow highlighter is picked is 17/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

Total number of yellow highlighters  = 12

Total number of blue  highlighters  = 6

Total number of green highlighters  = 4

Total number of orange  highlighters  = 3

So, the total number of highlighters  =  12 + 6 + 4 + 3  = 25

Let E1 : Event of selecting a yellow highlighter.

P(E1)  = \frac{\textrm{Total number of yellow highlighters}}{\textrm{Total Highlighters}}  = \frac{12}{25}

Let E2 : Event of selecting blue or yellow highlighter ONCE yellow highlighter is selected.

So, the total yellow highlighters left after selecting one = 12 -1  = 11

Also, the number of blue highlighter  =  6

So, the TOTAL FAVORABLE options to E2 = 6+ 11 = 17

P(E2)  =

\frac{\textrm{Total number of yellow  + Blue   highlighters}}{\textrm{Total Highlighters}} = \frac{17}{25}

Hence, the probability that a blue or yellow highlighter is selected given that a yellow highlighter is selected is 17/25.
