Jack bought 4 dozen eggs at $10 per dozen. 6 were broken. what percent of his money goes to waste

1 answer:

So, if he has 4 dozen eggs, ten dollars per dozen, he has spent $40 on 48 eggs. <em>This means the cost of one egg = 48/40. </em>This can simplify to <em>6/5 </em>which is equal to<em> $1.20. </em>This means the value of one egg is $1.20, including the broken ones! So if six were broken, we multiply 1.20 x 6 which equals <em>$7.20!</em>

Use this "formula" to help find percentages

<em>Part/Total = %( Percentage )/ 100</em>

Now that we know how much money has gone to waste, we can plug in the known values into this "formula."

<em>7.2/48 = x/100</em>

Solve accordingly; cross multiply, 720 = 48x; divide both sides of the equation by 48 to isolate the variable, 720/48 = 48x/48; now you have your final answer which is:

15 = x; going back to the "formula" this means 15% of his money has gone to waste. I hope this helped! :)

In a large population, 57 % of the people have been vaccinated. If 3 people are randomly selected, what is the probability that

ollegr [7]

Answer:0.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$57\%$ of Population is vaccinated

So, Probability of a person being vaccinated is $P=0.57$

and simultaneously , probability of not vaccinated is $1-P$

$=1-0.57=0.43$

Now, Probability that atleast one of them has been vaccinated is given by

$=1-P(\text{None of them is vaccinated})$

$=1-0.43\times 0.43\times 0.43$

$=1-0.0795$

$=0.92$

Find the uncertainty in a calculated average speed from the measurements of distance and time. Average speed depends on distance

zzz [600]

Answer:

$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426$

Step-by-step explanation:

you have that the average sped is given by the following formula:

$v(x,t)=\frac{x}{t}$

The uncertainty formula for a division is given by:

$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{\Delta x}{x})^2+(\frac{\Delta t}{t})^2}$ (1)

Δv: uncertainty in speed

Δx: uncertainty in the distance = 0.9m

Δt: uncertainty in time = 0.7s

x: distance = 8.1m

t: time = 1.7s

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{0.9}{8.1})^2+(\frac{0.7}{1.7})^2}\\\\\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426$

Hence, the relation between the uncertainty in the average velocity is 0.426
