Answer:

The weight of pure gold in 258 g rams of 18- karat gold is 193.5 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pure percentage in the gold = 75%

The weight of the gold purchased = 258 g

Now, here the pure gold percentage is 75% of 258 g

75% of 258 grams = $\frac{75}{100} \times 258$

or, $\frac{3}{4} \times 258 = 193.5$

⇒75% of 258 grams = 193.5 grams

Hence, the weight of pure gold in 258 g rams of 18- karat gold is 193.5 grams.

Add three data values to the following data set so the mean increases by 10 but the median does not change. The numbers are 42 3

In order the numbers are 20, 29, 32, 37, 42.
So that means the median is 32. In order for the median to stay the same one of the three data values must be 32 as well as adding a number to each side of the ends. One 32 or less another 32or more.
The mean right now is: 20+29+32+37+42=160 and there are 5 values.
Mean: 160/5=32
For it to increase by 10 it has to be 42.
extra 3 numbers I used were 31, 32, & 113 (those are your answer)

I buy a MP3 player for £40 in a sale where it was 20% off. What was the original price

natta225 [31]

20% off means you paid only 80% of the original price.
0.8x=40
x=40÷0.8=50
so the original price is 50
