Mark got 20% raise for his salary. If this salary was $1800 what is the new salary?

So lets solve this!

Mark got 20% "raise" for his salary. It clearly indicates that it is percentage of increase, so therefore, after solving out all the sum, we would be adding up 1800 to get the total of the new salary.

Lets form this into statements ----

Percentage increase = 20%

Mark's old salary = $1800

Mark's new salary = 20 × 1800/100

Cancel out the zeros to make it more logical ----

20 × 18/1

= 360.

Now, we need to add 1800 and 360 to get Mark's new salary

1800 + 360 = $2160.

Mark's new salary is $2160.

Hope I helped :D

Answer:

Second option, h=( $x^{2} + 4x$ ) ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Base x Height

Height = Area ÷ Base

= $\frac{24x^{2} +96x}{24}$

= $\frac{24x^{2} }{24} +\frac{96x}{24}$ (split fraction for easier simplification)

= $x^{2} +4x$

Suppose you take a 15 question True or False quiz and you guess on every problem. You only get 3 correct. (a) What is the probab

Answer:

0.648

No, that is not an unusually low number of correct guesses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you take a 15 question True or False quiz and you guess on every problem. You only get 3 correct. Then

$p=\dfrac{3}{15}=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2$ - correct;
$q=1-p=1-0.2=0.8$ - o\incorrect.

The probability of getting 3 or fewer correct guesses is

$P(\text{3 or fewer})\\=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)\\ \\=C^{15}_0p^0q^{15-0}+C^{15}_1p^1q^{15-1}+C^{15}_2p^2q^{15-2}+C^{15}_3p^0q^{15-3}\\ \\=1\cdot q^{15}+15pq^{14}+105p^2q^{13}+455p^3q^{12}\\ \\=(0.8)^{15}+15\cdot 0.2\cdot (0.8)^{14}+105\cdot (0.2)^2\cdot (0.8)^{13}+455\cdot (0.2)^3\cdot (0.8)^{13}\\ \\\approx 0.648$
