For this, we can first find the decimal value by dividing 2223 from 706. Therefore, if we do 706/2223, we get .31759. Do find the percentage, simply multiply by 100. Now, we have 31.759% Therefore, 31.759% of the people on the Titanic reached New York.

Answer:
31.759%

Hope this helped!! :D

Noah is buying a pair of jeans and using a coupon for 10%off. The total price is $56.70 which includes $2.70 in sales tax. Noah’

lora16 [44]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that Noah's purchase can be modeled by the equation:

$x-0.1x+2.70=56.70$

Part 1)

The solution to the equation will be the value of x.

In this case, x will represent the original price of the jeans.

We know that Noah has a coupon for 10% off the <em>original price of the jeans</em>.

So, 0.1x will represent how much of the original price Noah gets a a discount on.

Therefore, (x - 0.1x) represents the total cost of the jeans <em>after</em> the coupon.

So, x is our original price of the jeans.

Part 2)

To verify that 70 is <em>not</em> a solution, we can simply substitute 70 for x and check whether or not the equation is true. So:

$(70)-0.1(70)+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.70$

Multiply:

$70-7+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Subtract:

$63+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Add:

$65.7\neq56.7$

However, we <em>can</em> verify that 60 <em>is</em> the solution by substituting. So, substitute 60 for every x:

$(60)-0.1(60)+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}5.7$

Multiply:

$60-6+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Subtract:

$54+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Add:

$56.7\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}56.7$

So, 60 is indeed the solution and is the value of x.

So, this means that $60 was the original price of the jeans.

The probability of getting a head when a biased coin is tossed is . The coin is tossed three times. Find the following probabili

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

a) P(three tails) = $\frac{1}{8}$

b) P(two tails followed by one head) = $\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

coin is tossed three times so, outcome is

HHH, TTT, HTH, THH, HHT, THT, TTH, HTT.

Hence sample space will be

S = {HHH, TTT, HTH, THH, HHT, THT, TTH, HTT}

chance of getting three tails is '1' i.e. TTT

hence,

P(three tails) = $\frac{1}{8}$

two tails followed by one head is TTH

so, chance of getting that outcome is also '1'

hence,

P(two tails followed by one head) = $\frac{1}{8}$
