Answer:the price for the item now it's 6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Origin price is 45=100% after reduction comes to 85% =x

X stands for the unknown value of the reduction therefore

45=100%

X=85%

45*.85=100x

After calculation you realised the value of x reduction value it's 38.25

Hence, original price is 45 your less from the value reduced 38.25 therefore the value of the item is 6.75

Tresset [83]

Answer:

0.665

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 100 people are split into two groups 70 and 30. I group is given cough syrup treatment but second group did not.

Prob for a person to be in the cough medication group = 0.70

Out of people who received medication, 34% did not have cough

Prob for a person to be in cough medication and did not have cough

= $\frac{0.70(34)}{60}=0.397$

Prob for a person to be not in cough medication and did not have cough

= $\frac{0.3(20)}{30}=0.20$

Probability for a person not to have cough

= P(M1C')+P(M2C')

where M1 = event of having medication and M2 = not having medication and C' not having cough

This is because M1 and M2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

SO P(C') = 0.397+0.2=0.597

Hence required prob =P(M1/C') = $\frac{0.397}{0.597}=0.665$

Mathematics help please!!!!!!!!!<br><br> what is -0.0833333333333 converted into a fraction?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

- 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let -0.0833333 = x --- (1)

Multiply both sides by 10.

-0.833333 = 10x --- (2)

Subtract (2) from (1),

0.75 = -9x

-9x = $\frac{75}{100}$

= $\frac{3}{4}$

$x=-\frac{3}{36}$

$x=-\frac{1}{12}$
