Hi,

To find the cost before tax, we must find out how much the tax is. So we multiply 252 x .05 to get 12.6. So we know the tax was 12.6 dollars. Now all we have to do is subtract that from the total to get our answer. 252 - 12.6 = 239.4.

Have a great day!

Invest $6,300 in two different accounts the first account paid 11% the second account paid 6% in interest at the end of the year

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: he invested $5300 at 11% and $1000 at 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount which he invested in the first account paying 11% interest.

Let y represent the amount which he invested in the second account paying 6% interest.

He Invest $6,300 in two different accounts the first account paid 11% the second account paid 6% in interest. This means that

x + y = 6300

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Considering the first account paying 11% interest,

P = $x

T = 1 year

R = 11℅

I = (x × 11 × 1)/100 = 0.11x

Considering the second account paying 6% interest,

P = $y

T = 1 year

R = 6℅

I = (y × 6 × 1)/100 = 0.06y

At the end of the year, he had earned $643 in interest , it means that

0.11x + 0.06y = 643 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 6300 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.11(6300 - y) + 0.06y = 643

693 - 0.11y + 0.06y = 643

- 0.11y + 0.06y = 643 - 693

- 0.05y = - 50

y = - 50/ - 0.05

y = 1000

x = 6300 - y = 6300 - 1000

x = 5300

A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 300 milliliters

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

e. 0.0072

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. And the contents vary according to a Normal distribution with Mean, μ = 298 ml and Standard deviation, σ = 3 ml .

Let Z = $\frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1) where, Xbar = mean contents of six randomly

selected bottles

n = sample size i.e. 6

So, Probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295 ml is given by, P(Xbar < 295)

P(Xbar < 295) = P( $\frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{295 - 298}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{6} } }$ ) = P(Z < -2.45) = P(Z > 2.45)

Now, using z% score table we find that P(Z > 2.45) = 0.00715 ≈ 0.0072 .

Therefore, option e is correct .
