Answer:

multiply the original price by the decimal of 30% then x 100 Lets say the item was £10 original price = 0.30 / £10 = 0.3 x 100 =£3 Then £3 is the discount of £10=£7 The second way is easier for smaller numbers 10% of £10 = 1 and then 1 x 3 =3 =£3 discount = £7 new price.

Find 30% of the item and then subtract from the original value.

Find 70% of the item and that is your answer.

Solve for x (1/x) -2/3 = (4x)

Vadim26 [7]

The value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is $\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}=4 x$

Subtracting by $4x$ on both sides,

$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}-4 x=0$

Taking LCM,

$\frac{3-12 x^{2}-2 x}{3 x}=0$

Multiplying by 3x on both sides,

$-12 x^{2}-2 x+3=0$

Dividing by (-) on both sides,

$12 x^{2}+2 x-3=0$

Using quadratic formula, we can solve for x.

$\begin{aligned}x &=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2}-4 \cdot 12 \cdot(-3)}}{2 \cdot 12} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4+144}}{2 \cdot 144} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{148}}{24} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{37}}{24}\end{aligned}$

Taking out common term 2, we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-2(1 \pm \sqrt{37})}{24}} \\{x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{37}}{12}}\end{array}$

Thus, the value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

27-4(26-2×3)to the 2nd power

Svetlanka [38]

First do the ones in the parentheses. So, 2x3=6. 26-6=20. 20^2=400. Now you have 27-4x400. 4x400=1600. 27-1600=-1573.

A field test for a new exam was given to randomly selected seniors. The exams were graded, and the sample mean and sample standa

swat32

All our answers lie in the above statement.

Confidence Level:
The creator claims that 9 out 10 students will have the average score in the said range. Or in other words we can say that the creator is 90% confident about the result of the field test. So the confidence level is 90%.

Margin of Error:
The average score lies within 4% of 70%. This means the margin of error is 4% i.e. the average scores can deviate from 70% by 4% .

Confidence Interval:
Lower Limit = 70% - 4% = 66%
Upper Limit = 70% + 4% = 74%

Interpretation:
The exam creator is 90% confident that the average scores of seniors will be between 66% and 74%.
