Sam bought for a total amount of 8 + 5 + 15 = $28.- exclusive tax rate.
Given that he paid $29.82 including tax, he paid $1.82 of taxes.

This in a percentage would be 1.82 / 28 × 100% = 6%. Therefore the tax rate is 6% (or 0.06 as an integer).

Assume that the heights of American men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inch
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 96.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the heights of American men are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = heights of American men.

µ = mean height

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 69.0 inches

σ = 2.8 inches

the probability of men that have heights between 64 and 78 inches is expressed as

P(64 ≤ x ≤ 78)

For x = 64,

z = (64 - 69)/2.8 = - 1.79

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.037

For x = 78,

z = (78 - 69)/2.8 = 3.2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.999

Therefore,

P(64 ≤ x ≤ 78) = 0.999 - 0.037 = 0.962

Therefore, the percent of men meeting these height requirements is

0.962 × 100 = 96.2%

If a company buys coffee at a price of $5/kg and then sells it their stores for $18/kg, what is the percentage profit compared t
vredina [299]

Answer:

260%

Step-by-step explanation:

For the coffee;

cost price (C_{P}) = $5/kg

selling price (S_{P}) = $18/kg

Percentage profit (%P) = \frac{S_P - C_P}{C_P} * 100% %

Substitute the right values into the above;

%P = \frac{18 - 5}{5} * 100% %

%P = \frac{13}{5} * 100% %

%P = 260%

Therefore, the percentage profit compared to the original cost of the coffee is 260%
