M = -9 ; solve for m by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the varible
I think the answer is: 1/50
Answer:
C. $97
Step-by-step explanation:
The average of his wage for all 15 days is the sum of all wages for the 15 days divided by 15.
average wage for 15 days = (sum of wages for the 15 days)/15
The amount of wages during a number of days is the product of the average wage of those days and the number of days.
First 7 days:
average wage: $87
number of days: 7
total wages in first 7 days = 7 * $87/day = $609
Last 7 days:
average wage: $92
number of days: 7
total wages in last 7 days = 7 * $92/day = $644
8th day:
wages of the 8th day is unknown, so we let x = wages of the 8th day
total wages of 15 days = (wages of first 7 days) + (wages of 8th day) + (wages of last 7 days)
total wages of 15 days = 609 + x + 644 = x + 1253
average wage for 15 days = (sum of wages for the 15 days)/15
average wage for 15 days = (x + 1253)/15
We are told the average for the 15 days is $90/day.
(x + 1253)/15 = 90
Multiply both sides by 15.
x + 1253 = 1350
Subtract 1253 from both sides.
x = 97
Answer: $97
Answer:1.01
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is actually a very old riddle, but it is two guards and two doors life death .
So let's apply the same logic to this one.
You only meet one villager and you don't know if he is one of the ones who only tells the truth or always lies, to answer this riddle, the question is actually to an hypothetical third party, another villager, not present, this is a little convoluted so bear with me:
(Pointing to one of the roads): If I asked another villager if this road would lead me to the ruins, would he be correct?
If the villager is a truth one, the true-villager, would tell you that the liar-villager would say no (thus leading you to the jungle).
- Let's analyze this one, so the villager always tells the truth, and you happen to be pointing to the right direction (ruins), he is answering, that if you would ask another villager whether that is the correct road, that villager would say yes, since you are pointing at the right direction, a liar would tell you no, because the liar would point you to the other road as the correct (jungle), so the true-villager will say no
- If you happen to be pointing to the wrong direction (jungle), he is answering, that if you would ask another villager whether that is the correct road, that villager would say yes, since you are pointing at the wrong direction, the truth-villager would tell you no, because the liar would point you to the wrong road as the correct (jungle), so the villager will say no
Therefore, no matter what villager you run into, the question will always lead you to the jungle, and therefore you pick the other road.
