25% of £200 = £50
25% divided by 2= 12.5%
£50 divided by 2 = £25
£200-£25 = £175

Method
$100\% = 200$
You divide both sides by 10 to get 10%
$10\% = 20$
You divide by 10 to get 1%
$1\% = 2$
Now you divide by 2 to get 0.5 (or 1/2 of 1)
$0.5 \%= 1$
You can find 2% by multiplying 2 to 1% and 2
$2\% = 4$
Now you need to add the 10% with 0.5% and 2% which give you 12.5%.

$12.5\% = 20 + 1 + 4$
$12.5\% = 25$
Now you takeaway 25 from 200
$200 - 25 = 175$

Decrease 200 by 12.5%
$175$

Surgery is in 4 out if every 10 hospital emergency room visits. If a large urban hospital had 840 emergency visits in the past m

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Expected number of visits to the emergency room that would require a surgery is 336.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of surgery.

The odds of having a surgery in a randomly selected visit to a emergency room is 4 out of 10.

Then the probability of having a surgery in a randomly selected visit to a emergency room is:

$p=\frac{4}{10}=0.40$

In the past month a large urban hospital had 840 emergency visits.

An emergency room visit may lead to surgery or not is independent of the others.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 840 and p = 0.40.

The expected value of a binomial random variable is:

$E(X)=np$

Compute the expected number of visits that would require a surgery as follows:

$E(X)=np$

$=840\times 0.40\\=336$

Thus, expected number of visits to the emergency room that would require a surgery is 336.

ale4655 [162]

Answer

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The time spent walking as x

The time spent riding as y

Jim began a 146-mile bicycle trip to build up stamina for a triathlete competition. Unfortunately, his bicycle chain broke, so he finished the trip walking. The whole trip took 5 hours.

Hence:

x + y = 5.... Equation 1

x = 5 - y

If Jim walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour and rides at 40 miles per hour,

The formula for Distance = Speed × time. Hence,

4 × x + 40 × y = 146 miles

4x + 40y = 146.... Equation 2

We substitute 5 - y for x in Equation 2

4(5 - y) + 40y = 146

20 - 4y + 40y = 146

Subtract 20 from both sides

20 - 20 - 4y + 40y = 146 - 20

- 4y + 40y = 146 - 20

36y = 126

y = 126/36

y = 3.5 hours

Since the time he spent raiding his bicycle is represented by "y", the amount of time he spent on the bicycle is 3.5 hours

I think this is right I had this question I think it was the same one I dont know tho

Which is the next step in the following construction of a regular hexagon?

laila [671]

Answer:

With compass setting the same as line segment PA, place the compass

at C and draw an arc that intersects the circle ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the step of construction a regular hexagon

1. Draw circle with center P; put point A on the circle's edge at

any place

2. With compass setting the same as line segment PA, place the

compass at A and draw an arc that intersects the circle at B

3. With compass setting the same as line segment PA, place the

compass at B and draw an arc that intersects the circle at C

4. With compass setting the same as line segment PA, place the

compass at C and draw an arc that intersects the circle at D

5. Contain with the same step of placing the compass at the previous arc and draw an arc with same distance of PA until you reach point A again, then join each arc on the circle forming the regular hexagon

The given steps are:

Circle with center P; point A is along the circles edge, an arc at point B

is along the circles edge, and an arc at point C is along the circles edge

According to the steps above, the next step is:

With compass setting the same as line segment PA, place the

compass at C and draw an arc that intersects the circle (step 4)
