There would be 30 people pulling it. To work it out you do 16 divided by 8=2. Then you do 60 divided by 2= 30.<u />

A store charges a restocking fee for any returned item based upon the item price. An item priced at $200 has a fee of $12. An it
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Both ratios reduce to the same ratio 3/50, so the restocking fee is proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the $200, the restocking fee is $12, so the ratio of the restocking fee to the price of the item is 12/200.

For the $150, the restocking fee is $9, so the ratio of the restocking fee to the price of the item is 9/150.

Now we find out if the ratios 12/200 and 9/150 are equal.

12/200 = 3/50

9/150 = 3/50

Both ratios reduce to the same ratio 3/50, so the restocking fee is proportional.

1. The sum of a two-digits number is 13. The tens digit is 8 less than twice the units digit. What is the number?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

<u>The number is 67</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's consider the number 83. The tens digit is 8 and the unit digit is 3. Note the tens digit's addition to the number is 80, and the unit's addition is 3. This means the tens digit adds 10 times its value, that is, 83 = 8*10 + 3.

Now, let's consider the number ab, where a is the tens digit, and b is the unit digit. It follows that

Number=10*a+b

The question gives us two conditions:

1) The sum of a two-digits number is 13.

2) The tens digit is 8 less than twice the units digit.

The first condition can be expressed as:

a + b = 13                     [1]

And the second condition can be written as:

a = 2b-8                      [2]

Replacing [2] into [1], we have:

2b-8 + b = 13

Operating:

3b = 13 + 8

3b = 21

Solving for b:

b = 21 / 3 = 7

Substituting into [2]:

a = 2*(7) - 8 = 6

Thus, the number is 67

3-(x-1)=-1-(5-x) pls help
Alika [10]

Answer:

- 3(x - 1) =  - 1(5 - x) \\  \\ 3 - x + 1 =  - 5 + x \\  \\  - x - x =  - 5 - 3 - 1 \\  \\  - 2x =  - 5 - 3 - 1 \\  \\  - 2x =   - 9 \\  \\ x =  \frac{ - 9}{ - 2}  \\  \\ x = 4.5

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

0.36 = 36% probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

45% chance that the land has oil.

This means that P(A) = 0.45

He buys a kit that claims to have an 80% accuracy rate of indicating oil in the soil.

This means that P(B|A) = 0.8

What is the probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it?

This is P(A \cap B). So

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

P(B \cap A) = P(B|A)*P(A) = 0.8*0.45 = 0.36

0.36 = 36% probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it
