Answer:

  • $17,500 at 8%
  • $17,500 at 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...

  (11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2

Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:

  $17,500 for 8% return

  $17,500 for 14% return.

_____

If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...

  14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)

  (14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000

  x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!! Anaya bought a sweater that was on sale. The sweater originally cost $34.50 but was purchased for $27.60. What
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: 80%. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage, divide the sale cost by the original cost:

27.60/34.50

Let's multiply both sides by 10 to make the operation easier:

27.6/34.5 ( I eliminated the zero's because they kind of have no use) -->

276/345, now solve:

276/345 = 0.8

0.8 = 80%

The percentage is 80%.

Your firm has a contract to make staff uniforms for a fast-food retailer. The heights of the staff are normally distributed with
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

a) 16%

b) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The mean is 70 with standard deviation(SD) of 3 and you are asked to find out the percentage of staff that have <67(70-3 inch= mean - 1 SD) inch size, which means 1 SD below the mean (<-1 SD). Using 68-95-99.7 rule, you can know that 68% of the population is inside 1 SD range from the mean ( -1 SD to + 1 SD).

To put it on another perspective, there are 32% of the population that have < -1 SD and > +1 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of < - 1 SD alone is 32%/2= 16%

b)

The question asks how many populations have size >76 inches, or mean + 2 SD (70+3*2 inch).

You can also solve this using 68-95-99.7 rule, but you take 95% value as the question asking for 2 SD instead.  Since 95% of population is inside 2 SD range from the mean ( -2 SD to + 2 SD), so there are 5% of population that have < -2 SD and > +2 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of > +2 SD alone is 5%/2= 2.5%

Which is the correct formula to find the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d)?
stepan [7]

Answer:

Learn how to find the distance between two points by using the distance formula, which is an application of the Pythagorean theorem. We can rewrite the Pythagorean theorem as d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²) to find the distance between any two points. Created by Sal Khan and CK-12 Foundation.
