Answer:

$480

Step-by-step explanation:

Perry makes 15% commission for each TV he sells.

How much would he have to sell a TV to get $72

First of all, let's call the unknown variable x

So 15% of x= $72

Mathematically, this would be represented as 15/100 * x= 72

15/100x= 72

Breaking down further,

15/100 can be broken down to 3/20

3/20x= 72

So to find the value of x, we divide both sides by 3/20

x= 72 ÷ 3/20

x= 72 * 20/3 (using the law of indices)

x= 1440/3

x= $480 dollars.

So, Perry would have to sell a TV for $480 to make a $72 commission.

RSB [31]

Answer:   (0.273,\ 0.783)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of students who are asked to complete a survey anonymously : n= 240

Number of students

The proportion report that they have experienced bullying =54

Then , the proportion that students have experienced bullying =p=\dfrac{54}{240}=0.225

Significance interval : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the true proportion is given by :-

p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=0.225\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{(0.225)(1-0.225)}{240}}\\\\\approx0.225\pm0.0528\\\\=(0.255-0.528,\ 0.255+0.528)\\\\=(0.273,\ 0.783)

If p, q, r, and s are consecutive even integers such that p < q < r < s, then how much greater is s - p than r - q ?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Whenever you assume values, try and make them as accurate as possible i.e. I am looking for consecutive even numbers so I will assume the values to be (2n - 2), 2n and (2n + 2)

s2−r2−q2=(2n+2)2−(2n)2−(2n−2)2s2−r2−q2=(2n+2)2−(2n)2−(2n−2)2

You get: 4n (4 - n)

So the solution must have 4 as a factor, which we see all options do.

To get -20, n(4-n) must be (-5). It will happen when n = 5.

To get 0, n = 0

To get 12, n(4-n) must be 3. It will happen when n = 3

To get 16, n(4-n) must be 4. It will happen when n = 2

There is no way n(4-n) could be 2 if n is an integer so 8 is not possible.Step-by-step explanation:
