50,000 / 2500 = 20....he bought them for 20 bucks a piece. So if he wants to sell them at 15% profit, he would sell them for 20 + 0.15(20) = $ 23 bucks.

A 15% profit of 50,000 dollars is  0.15(50,000) = 7500. Plus the 50 grand spent totals 57500. So they want to make a $ 7500 profit. Selling 2500 lamps at $ 23 per lamp (2500 x 23 = 57500) makes them their profit.

I should just shut up now...answer is $ 23 per lamp

How to answer this? A farmer had 455 ducks and chickens. He sold 2/5 of the ducks and bought another 104 chickens. As a result,
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 25

(b) $4816

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the starting amount of ducks is d, and the starting amount of chickens is c. Since there are only ducks and chickens, we can say that d + c= 455.

Next, the farmer sells 2/5 of the ducks, so we subtract 2/5 of the ducks so that the ending duck amount is d - (2/5)d = (3/5) d

After that, the farmer buys another 104 chickens, so we add 104 chickens to the current amount of chickens to get the ending chicken number as 104+c

Given the ending duck and chicken count, we can say that the ending farm animal count (we can represent this as a) is (3/5)d + 104 + c = a

The number of ducks is 2/3 the total number of animals at the end, so (3/5)d = (2/3)a

Let's list our equations out so it is easier to solve:

d+c = 455

(3/5)d + 104 + c = a

(3/5)d = (2/3)a

We have three equations and need to solve for three variables. One common variable in all three equations is d, so it might help if we put everything in terms of d.

Starting with d+c=455, if we subtract d from both sides, we get c=455-d. We can substitute this in the second equation to get

(3/5)d + 104 + 455 - d = a

-(2/5)d + 559 = a

(3/5)d = (2/3)a

Next, we can substitute for a. If we multiply both sides by 3 and then divide by 2 in (3/5)d = (2/3)a , we get

(9/10)d = a

Substitute that in to the second equation to get

-(2/5)d + 559 = (9/10) d

-(4/10)d + 559 = (9/10) d

add (4/10)d to both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

(13/10)d = 559

multiply both sides by (10/13) to isolate the coefficient

d = 430

Therefore, the starting number of ducks is 430 and the starting amount of chickens is 455-430 = 25

For (b), 2/5ths of the ducks are sold, so this is (430) * (2/5) = 172. Each duck is sold for 28 dollars, so this is 172*28=$4816 as the total price

Y = 5x + 7<br> 2x + y = -5<br> Are the equations parallel,<br> perpendicular, or neither?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Lines are neither perpendicular nor parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In equation 1, Y = 5X + 7

In equation 2,  Y = -2X -5

Step 2:

Slope Intercept form Y =mX +c

Where m = Slope

Slope of line 1 = 5

Slope of line 2 = -2

m1  is not equal to m2. Hence it is not parallel.

m1  × m2 is not equal to -1. Hence they are not perpendicular.

Assume that when Human Resource managers are randomly selected, 62% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks. If 25
Alenkinab [10]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 38% probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.

<h3>How to find that a given condition can be modelled by binomial distribution?</h3>

Binomial distributions consists of n independent Bernoulli trials.

Bernoulli trials are those trials that end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))

The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by

P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Binomial probability distribution  

P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

The parameters are:

n is the number of trials.

x is the number of successes.

p is the probability of success on a single trial.

In this problem:

62% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks, p = 0.62

25 managers are selected, n = 25

The probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks is P ( X = 18)

P( X > 18) = 1 -  ( X = 18)

= 1 - 0.62

= 0.38

38 % probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.
