Daniella is interviewing for a job. She wants her take-home pay to be at least $51,000

1 answer:

5 0

Okay. So Daniella wants to have a take-home pay of at least $51,000, but she ahs to pay 15% income tax, which means 15% of what she earns will be gone. To find out the least amont of salary she needs to make, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

51,000/x = 85/100

This is because we are looking for the amount of money made overall, but the $51,000 is only part of the salary earned, and even though you pay 15% income tax, you still take home 85% of your salary. Cross multiply the valyes in order to get 5,100,000 = 85x. Divide each side by 85 to isolate the variable. 5,100,000/85 is 60,000. Let's check this by multiplying by 85% (0.85). 60,000 * 0.85 is 51,000. There. x = 60,000. Daniella will need to make at least $60,000.

A bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples. 3 apples are selected at random. Find the probability of selecting 1 red apple

tester [92]

Answer: The required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that a bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples out of which 3 apples are selected at random.

We are to find the probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Let S denote the sample space for selecting 3 apples from the bag and let A denote the event of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Then, we have

$n(S)=^{6+5}C_3=^{11}C_3=\dfrac{11!}{3!(11-3)!}=\dfrac{11\times10\times9\times8!}{3\times2\times1\times8!}=165,\\\\\\n(A)\\\\\\=^6C_1\times^5C_2\\\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{1!(6-1)!}\times\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{6\times5!}{1\times5!}\times\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{2\times1\times3!}\\\\\\=6\times5\times2\\\\=60.$

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

$P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{60}{165}=\dfrac{4}{11}\times100\%=36.36\%.$

Thus, the required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Identify the square root of 2 as either rational or irrational, and approximate to the tenths place

Pie

Answer: Irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

It is irrational because you cannot multiply a number by the same number to get the square root of 2.

I think the approximation is 1.4 or 1.42

Solve the following system of equations by linear combination: 3d – e = 7 d + e = 5

SashulF [63]

3d - e = 7d + e = 5 ⇒ 3d - e = 5
7d + e = 5

3d - e = 5
7d + e = 5 +
-----------------------
10d / = 10
10d = 10
d = 10/10
d = 1

7d + e = 5
7×1 + e = 5
7 + e = 5
e = 5 - 7
e = -2
