The [Detroit] Pistons did not lose because of the lack of ability. They are an all-around better team. They lost because of the

law of averages. They will beat the [San Antonio] Spurs every two times out of three. When you examine the NBA finals [of 2005], that is exactly how they lost the seventh (last game) because that would have been three out of three. The Spurs will beat the Pistons one out of three. It just so happens that, that one time was the final game, because the Pistons had already won two in a row.

Mrac [35]

Answer: Total amount earned is $647.68

Step-by-step explanation:

He worked 3 days at his previous salary of $16/hour. If he works 8 hours per day, then the amount he earned working at the previous salary is

16 × 8 × 3 = $384

This week, Mister Campanello got an increase in his salary of 3%. It means that the amount by which his salary increased is

3/100 × 16 = $0.48

His new salary would be

16 + 0.48 = $16.48

If he worked for 2 days at his new salary, then the amount he earned working at the new salary is

16.48 × 8 × 2 = $263.68

Total amount earned is

384 + 263.68 = $647.68

A movie streaming website charges an initial fee of $80, plus $4 for each movie that is streamed. How many movies must be stream
pochemuha

Answer:

80 movies must be streamed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average cost, you must divide the total cost by the number of movies watched.

When you watch 1 movie, you pay the initial fee of $80 plus a $4 purchase of the film.

The equation is shown as such:

average cost = (total cost)/(number of movies)

Your total cost can be represented as 4x + 80, while the number of movies is represented as x.

You want the average to equal 5, so your equation is shown as follows:

5 = (4x+80)/x

simplifying this, we get

5 = 4 + \frac{80}{x}

which can then be simplified to

1 = \frac{80}{x}

X = 80 movies.

A basketball team took a total of 100 shots. One player took 70% of all 100 shots, and
NemiM [27]

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.

<h3>Percentage</h3>

Percentage is used in expressing a fraction number or decimal in fraction of 100. It is expressed using the '%' sign.

Given a total shot of 100, since the player took 70% of the shot, hence:

Total shot taken by the player = 70% of 100 = 0.7 * 100 = 70 shots.

Total shot shot missed = (100% - 60%) of 70 = 40% of 70 = 0.4 * 70 = 28 shots.

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.
