Answer:

$192

Step-by-step explanation:

144 is actually 75% from the original price x:

0.75 x=144

x=144/0.75= $192

check : 192*0.25= $ 48 discount

192-48= $ 144 price of the shoe

Answer:

$192

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Subtract the discount from 100% then divide the sale price by this number (100%-25%=75%, $144/75%=$192)

hope this helped

What is the approximate value of k?

lesya692 [45]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

5.06

Discussion:

Angle J = 180 - (120 + 40) = 180 - 160 = 20 degrees,

From the law of sines

sin(120)/k = sin(20)/2 =>

sin(120) = k * ( sin(20)/2) ) (multiply both sides by "k")

k = sin(120)/ ( sin(20)/2) (divide both sides by sin(20)/2)

k = (0.866) / ( 0.171) = 5.06

Suppose the sediment density (g/cm3 ) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is known to have a mean of 2.80 and

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

0.918 is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 2.80

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.85

Sample size,n = 35

We are given that the distribution of sediment density is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Standard error due to sampling:

$=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{0.85}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.1437$

P(sample average sediment density is at most 3.00)

$P( x \leq 3.00) = P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{3.00 - 2.80}{0.1437}) = P(z \leq 1.3917)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x \leq 3.00) = 0.918$

0.918 is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00

THE property of two rational numbers is -28/81. If one of them is -2/3, then find the other.

KiRa [710]

The answer is:
(-28/81)/(-2/3) = -84/(-162) = 42/81

Work
Think of this simple question:
Two number when multiplied together give 15. If one number is 5, then the other is (15/5)=3.
