Charlie has 1072 more stamps than ryan. This is because if x represents the amount of stamps that ryan has, then 5x represents how many charlie has. set up an equation, and you get 5x+x=1608, because all together they have 1608. Then collect(combine) like terms and you get 6x=1608. Divide both sides by 6 and you get x=268. Therefore ryan has 268 stamps, and charlie has 5x268 stamps, or 1340 stamps, and to get how many for charlie has, subtract his by ryan's, and you get 1340-268=1072

Susan Marciano invested part of her 19000 bonus in a fund that paid an 11% profit and invested the rest in stock that suffered a
ioda

The amount invested at 11% is ​$5,000

The amount invested in stock is ​$14,000

What is the net profit on both investments?

The profit of each investment is the rate of return or loss multiplied by the amount invested

Let us assume that x was invested at 11% and the remaining 19000-x was invested at a loss rate of 3%

net profit=(11%*x)+(19000-x)*-3%

net profit=130

130=(11%*x)+(19000-x)*-3%

130=0.11x-570+0.03x

130=0.14x-570

130+570=0.14x

700=0.14x

x=700/0.14

x=$5,000

Amount invested in stock=19000-x

Amount invested in stocks=19000-5000

Amount invested in stocks=$14,000

A roulette wheel has 38 slots total, 36 of which are numbered 1 through 36, and 2 green slots labeled "0" and "00." For any spin
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 10 / 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of total slots = 38

Number of red slots = 18

Number of black slots = 18

Number of green slots = 2

Find:

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red)

Computation:

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 1 - Probability (Roulette ball landing on red)

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 1 - (18 / 38)

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 20 / 38

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 10 / 19

The function f(x) = −x2 − 9x + 10 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), in
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Zeros of a function: x = 1 and x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

A zero of a function is the value of x when f(x) = 0. In other words it is the intersect point between x and y=f(x), when y =0.

First we need to make f(x)=0, so we would have: -x^{2}-9x+10=0.

If we factorize this quadratic function, we would have: (x+10)(x-1)=0

So we get x = -10 and x = 1.

  • x = 1 means that the diver hits the water 1 foot away horizontally from the board.
  • x=-10 means the diver hits the water 10 feet behind the diving board.

Hope it helps!
