Answer:

<em>$120</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of the earnings is spent on rent.

The earnings is an unknown, so we call it x.

The rent is $800, so 40% of x equals $800.

40% * x = 800

0.4x = 800

x = 800/0.4

x = 2000

She earns $2000 per month.

After paying rent, the remaining amount is

$2000 - $800 = $1200

She spends 10% of the remaining amount on entertainment.

10% of $1200 = 10% * $1200 = 0.1 * $1200 = $120

o-na [289]
The answer would be A. When using Cramer's Rule to solve a system of equations, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero and neither numerator determinant is zero, then the system has infinite solutions. It would be hard finding this answer when we use the Cramer's Rule so instead we use the Gauss Elimination. Considering the equations:

x + y = 3 and <span>2x + 2y = 6
Determinant of the equations are </span>
<span>| 1 1 | </span>
<span>| 2 2 | = 0
</span>
the numerator determinants would be
<span>| 3 1 | . .| 1 3 | </span>
<span>| 6 2 | = | 2 6 | = 0.
Executing Gauss Elimination, any two numbers, whose sum is 3, would satisfy the given system. F</span>or instance (3, 0), <span>(2, 1) and (4, -1). Therefore, it would have infinitely many solutions. </span>

C(5,4)(.40)^4(1-.40)^1=5(.4)^4(.6)^1=0.0768

That's 7.68% = 7.7% (rounded)

Note: C(5, 4) is the number of combinations of 5 things taken 4 at a time. You may have seen this written as _5C_4

In general, C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}
