statement?
3n - 4 = 2; n = 2
3n + 4 = 2; n = -2/3
3n - 4 = 2; n = -2/3
3(n - 4) = 2; n = 2

3n - 4 = 2✓
n = 2
3×2 - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 ✓

3n - 4 = 2
n = -2/3
-6/3 - 4 = -2 - 4 = -6 wrong

1. A store manager marked up the price of a $12 clock by 20%. What is the new price of the clock?

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1) new price of the clock is $14.4

2) Kyra scored 70% marks

3) 43.75% students are not eighth graders

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A store manager marked up the price of a $12 clock by 20%. What is the new price of the clock?

Price of Clock = $12

Mark up = 20%

We need to find new price of clock.

The price of clock can be found by finding 20% of 12 and then adding that amount in original price.

So, finding 20% of 12

$20\% of 12 \\=\frac{20}{100}\times 12\\=2.4$

So 20% of 12 is 2.4

Now finding new price:

New Price = Actual Price + Mark up

New Price = 12 + 2.4

New Price = 14.4

So, new price of the clock is $14.4

2. On a math quiz, Kyra answered 7 of 10 questions correctly. Express her quiz score as a percent.

Total questions = 10

Correct answers = 7

We need to express her quiz score as percent

It can be found using formula: $Percent Score = \frac{Obtained\:Marks}{Total\:Marks}\times 100\%\\$

Putting values and finding percentage

$Percentage = \frac{Obtained\:Marks}{Total\:Marks}\times 100\%\\\\Percentage = \frac{7}{10}\times 100\%\\Percentage = 70\%$

So, Kyra scored 70% marks

3. 96 students are enrolled in the Dance Program at Castillero. Of those students, 54 are eighth-graders. The remaining students are 6th or 7th graders. What percentage of the students are not eighth graders?

Total Students = 96

Number of eighth-graders students = 54

Remaining students = 96 - 54 = 42

So, 42 students are 6th or 7th graders

We need to find percentage of the students are not eighth graders.

$\frac{42}{96}\times 100\%\\=43.75\%$

So, 43.75% students are not eighth graders

1/2 pound cheese divided by 3

You flip the 3/4. So it's 4/3. Then you multiply. Thats basicly how all division works. Flipping the last fraction and multiplying.

A fair coin is flipped twelve times. What is the probability of the coin landing tails up exactly nine times?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fair coin is flipped twelve times.

It means the number of possible sequences of heads and tails would be:

2¹² = 4096

We can determine the number of ways that such a sequence could contain exactly 9 tails is the number of ways of choosing 9 out of 12, using the formula

$nCr=\frac{n!}{r!\left(n-r\right)!}$

Plug in n = 12 and r = 9

$=\frac{12!}{9!\left(12-9\right)!}$

$=\frac{12!}{9!\cdot \:3!}$

$=\frac{12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10}{3!}$ ∵ $\frac{12!}{9!}=12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10$

$=\frac{1320}{6}$ ∵ $3!\:=\:3\times 2\times 1=6$

$=220$

Thus, the probability will be:

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}$

$=\frac{220}{4096}$

$=\frac{55}{1024}$

Thus, the probability of the coin landing tails up exactly nine times will be:

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}$
