To calculate the sales tax that is included in a company's receipts from items subject to sales tax, divide the receipts by 1 + the sales tax rate. For example, if the sales tax rate is 6%, divide the total amount of receipts by 1.06. If the sales tax rate is 7.25%, divide the total receipts by 1.0725.

1. 77 mph
We already know they travel 38.5 miles in 30 minutes. So we multiply 38.5 x 2 because 30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour. 38.5 x 2 = 77

5. 8.5 minutes (8 minutes and 30 seconds) per mile
We have to divide 25.5 by 3 to know how many minutes it takes Jerry to run one mile.

8. 34.06
This one is kinda easier. We already know 34 is the whole number. 6 divided by 100 is 0.06, so we simply add 34 + 0.06

Assume that the arrival of airplanes at a one-runway airport is a Poisson distribution with a mean rate of 8 planes per hour. Th

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Option b that is 1.33 is the right choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean rate of arrival $(\lambda)$ = 8 planes/hr

Service time = $5$ minute/plane

Mean service rate $(\mu)$ = $\frac{60}{5}$ = $12$ planes/hr

Applying the concept Poisson-distributed arrival and service rates (exponential inter-arrival and service times)(M/M/1) process:

We have to find mean number of planes waiting to land that is mean number of customers in the queue .

Mean number of customers in queue $(L_q)$ .

⇒ $L_q=\frac{\rho \lambda}{\mu-\lambda}$

Considering, $\rho=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}$ , $\rho$ is also mean number of customers in service.

⇒ $L_q=\frac{ \lambda^2}{\mu(\mu-\lambda)}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $L_q=\frac{8^2}{12(12-8)}$

⇒ $L_q=\frac{64}{48}$

⇒ $L_q=1.33$

So,

Mean number of planes in holding and waiting to land = 1.33

in 2009 a total of R36 000 was invested in two accounts. One account earned 7% annual interest and the other earned 9% .The tota

Akimi4 [234]

a = amount invested at 7%

b = amount invested at 9%

we know the amount invested was ₹36000, thus we know that whatever "a" and "b" are, a + b = 36000. We can also say that

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{7\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{7}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.07a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{9\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{7}{100} \right)b}\implies 0.09b$

since we know the interest earned from the invested was ₹2920, then we say that 0.07a + 0.09b = 2920.

$\begin{cases} a + b = 36000\\\\ 0.07a+0.09b=2920 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the 1st equation}}{a + b = 36000\implies \underline{b = 36000-a}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{0.07a~~ + ~~0.09(\underline{36000-a})~~ = ~~2920} \\\\\\ 0.07a+3240-0.09a=2920\implies 3240-0.02a=2920\implies -0.02a=-320 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{-320}{-0.02}\implies \boxed{a=16000}~\hfill \boxed{\stackrel{36000~~ - ~~16000}{20000=b}}$
