Answer:
a)17.92
b) 16.83 .... 21.17
Step-by-step explanation:
ρ→ z
0.14 = -1.080319341
-1.080 = (x - 19)/1 = 17.92
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3% / 2 = 1.5%
1.5% - 98.5%
ρ→ z
0.015 = -2.170090378 .... -2.17 = (x-19) =16.83
0.985 = 2.170090378 .... 2.17 = (x-19) =21.17
If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%
125.99 * 85%
125.99 * .85 = 107.09 is the price he pays for the rod
107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax
107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
How many jumps is it from the decimal point to the position to the right of the 6
The answer to that is 3 jumps. Since the move of the decimal made the number larger than it really is, it will take a negative value to put it back where it belongs.
So A) is the correct answer. It is in scientific notation and if you move the decimal back 3 place you get the number you stared with.
