an art dealer makes a 17.5% commission on every painting sold. If a painting sold for $1500, what was the commission

1 answer:

4 0

A percentage is a number out of 100. So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.

To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175

1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.

The commission is $262.50.

Calculate the z-score for the given data points in the item using the equation,

z-score = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the data point, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

Substituting,
(47.7) z-score = (47.7 - 52.5)/2.4 = -2

This translates to a percentile of 2.28%.

(54.9) z-score = (54.9 - 52.5)/2.4 = 1

This translates to a percentile of 84.13%.

Then, subtract the calculate percentiles to give us the final answer of <em>81.85%.</em>

Thus, 81.85% of the Siberian Husky sled dogs are expected to weigh between 47.7 and 54.9 lbs.
