Answer:
x = 2.13 × 10^11
Approximately 2.13 × 10^11 mails were processed in 2006
Completed question;
There were approximately 1.6 * 10^11 pieces of mall processed by the United States Postal
Service in 2012. This is about 75% of the number of pieces of mail processed in 2006.
Approximately how many pieces of mail were processed by the United States Postal Service in
2006
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of mails processed in year 2006
Given;
Number of mails processed in 2012 N = 1.6 × 10^11
Number of mails processed in 2012 N is about 75% of the number of pieces of mail processed in 2006.
So;
N = 75% of x
N = 0.75x
x = N/0.75
x = (1.6 × 10^11)/0.75
x = 2.13 × 10^11
Approximately 2.13 × 10^11 mails were processed in 2006
If an event occurs 0 times (out of 4, in this case) then it does not occur at least once. So we can find the probability of it not occurring and then subtract that value from 1.
So, what are the chances of it not occurring in 1 trip?
1−.37=.63
What about not occurring in 2 trips?
(1−.37)⋅(1−.37)=.63⋅.63=.3969
Now what about not occurring in 4 trips?
.63^4 = 0.15752961
We must subtract this value from 1
(recall that what we just calculated is the probability of it not occurring, so the probability of it occurring at least once is:
1−0.15752961 = .84247039
TLDR - In 4 trips the chance of a guest catching a cutthroat once in under 4 trips in 0.84.
Answer:
x = 77, x = -77
Step-by-step explanation:
|x| – 17 = 60
Add 17 to each side
|x| – 17+17 = 60+17
|x| = 77
The absolute value equation has two solutions, one positive and one negative
x = 77, x = -77
Cable company marked up monthly cost by 6% .New cost = $63.6
cost before increase = 63.6 × 100/106
= $60
