Answer: x = 9/5 or $1\frac{4}{5}$

35 1/5 is the perimeter of the square and the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square has 4 sides, so the perimeter of the square is 4(x+3)

The triangle has 3 sides so the perimeter is 3(3x-1)

The perimeters are equal, so 4(x+3) = 3(3x-1)

Solve by distributing and then

4x +12 = 9x - 3 subtract 4x from both sides and add 3 to both sides

4x-4x +12 -3 = 9x-4x -3 +3 cancel the zero sums and combine similar terms.

9 = 5x divide both sides by 5

x = 9/5

Check: 4(9/5 +3) = 3[3(9/5) -1]

36/5 + 3 = [3( 27/5 -1 ] 27/5 -3 -3 equivalent -15/5 27/5 -15/5 = 12/5

36/5 = 3(12/5) = 36/5 TRUE! simplify to mixed numbers

35 1/5 is the perimeter of the square and the triangle.

Consider a sample with data values of 27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24. Compute the 20th, 25th, 65th, and 75th percentiles. 20

densk [106]

Answer:

$P_{20} = 20$ --- 20th percentile

$P_{25} = 21.75$ --- 25th percentile

$P_{65} = 27.85$ --- 65th percentile

$P_{75} = 29.5$ --- 75th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24.

N = 8

First, arrange the data in ascending order:

Arranged data: 16, 21, 24, 24, 27, 28, 30, 33

Solving (a): The 20th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{20} = 20 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{20} = 20 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{20} = 20 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{20} = \frac{20 * 9}{100}$

$P_{20} = \frac{180}{100}$

$P_{20} = 1.8th\ item$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{20} = 1st\ Item +0.8(2nd\ Item - 1st\ Item)$

$P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*(21 - 16)$

$P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*5$

$P_{20} = 16 + 4$

$P_{20} = 20$

Solving (b): The 25th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{25} = 25 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{25} = 25 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{25} = 25 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{25} = \frac{25 * 9}{100}$

$P_{25} = \frac{225}{100}$

$P_{25} = 2.25\ th$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{25} = 2nd\ item + 0.25(3rd\ item-2nd\ item)$

$P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(24-21)$

$P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(3)$

$P_{25} = 21 + 0.75$

$P_{25} = 21.75$

Solving (c): The 65th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{65} = 65 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{65} = 65 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{65} = 65 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{65} = \frac{65 * 9}{100}$

$P_{65} = \frac{585}{100}$

$P_{65} = 5.85\th$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{65} = 5th + 0.85(6th - 5th)$

$P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(28 - 27)$

$P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(1)$

$P_{65} = 27 + 0.85$

$P_{65} = 27.85$

Solving (d): The 75th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{75} = 75 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{75} = 75 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{75} = 75 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{75} = \frac{75 * 9}{100}$

$P_{75} = \frac{675}{100}$

$P_{75} = 6.75th$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{75} = 6th + 0.75(7th - 6th)$

$P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(30- 28)$

$P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(2)$

$P_{75} = 28 + 1.5$

$P_{75} = 29.5$

Billy invests £800 for 5 years in a savings account.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

2.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest (I) is calculated as

I = $\frac{PRT}{100}$

where P is the principal, R the rate of interest and T time in years

Here I = 96, P = 800 and T = 5, thus

96 = $\frac{800R(5)}{100}$ = $\frac{4000R}{100}$ = 40R ( divide both sides by 40 )

R = $\frac{96}{40}$ = 2.4%

Round to the nears ten 9.42?

igomit [66]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to round to the nearest ten you must think: what is the nearest multiple of 10. For example, to round 68 to the nearest 10, the nearest whole number is 70, so the answer would be 70. However if you were to round 63 to the nearest 10, to would be 50 since that is the nearest multiple of 10
