A shoe store charges a retail price of $39 for a certain type of sneaker. This retail price is 30% more than the amount it costs

the shoe store to buy one pair of these sneakers. At an end-of-the-year sale, sales associates can purchase any remaining sneakers at 20% off the shoe store’s cost. How much would it cost an employee to purchase a pair of sneakers of this type during the sale (excluding sales tax)?
A.$31.20
B.$25.00
C.$24.00
D.$21.84
E.$19.50
Could someone please explain how to do this problem?

I was a little confused myself but if it is asking for the cost of the sneakers after the 20% off from the amount of money the store had to pay, it would be D, $21.84. The way to do this would be to find the cost of the sneakers when the store bought them. You multiply the percentage in decimal form with the cost of the sneakers at the price the store was selling it: 0.3*39 = 11.7. Then, to get the price the store bought them at, you would subtract that price from $39 to get $27.30. Finally, you apply the 20% discount to 27.30 by multiplying 0.2 to it and subtracting that price from 27.30. Then your answer will be $21.84. However, if the problem was asking for the cost of sneakers after the 20% off from the price the store was selling it, it would be A, $31.20. You would have to multiply the 20% discount straight to the price the store is selling the sneakers, $39. Then subtract that price from $39 to get $31.20.

Solve the system of equations
Blababa [14]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 4y = 10) * 2 = (4x + 8y =20)

4x = 20 - 8y

Plug that into the other equation

(20 - 8y) - y = 11

-9y = -9

y = 1

Plug this value into one of the original equations

2x + 4(1) = 10

2x = 6

x = 3

(a) Collision claims tend to be skewed right because there are a few very large collision claims relative to the majority of claims.

These large collision claims skew the data to the right because they are outliers that draw the mean higher than it should be.

The answer cannot be "no large collision claims" or "many large collision claims" because then the data would not be skewed.

(b) Since there are two random samples comparing two means, we will be using a 2-Samp-T-Test. We will use Welch's approximate t-test, where we test the hypothesis that these two populations have the same mean.

We want to determine if 20-24 year old drivers have the same mean collision cost as 30-59 year old drivers.

(c) The null hypothesis is that <u>the mean claim of collision costs for 20-24 year old drivers is the same as the mean claim of collision costs for 30-59 year old drivers.</u>

We can also rewrite this as:

  • H₀: μ₁ = μ₂
  • where μ₁ is the mean collision claims for 20-24 year old drivers
  • and μ₂ is the mean collision claims for 30-59 year old drivers

The alternative hypothesis is that the <u>mean claim of collision costs for 20-24 year old drivers is higher than the mean claim of collision costs for 30-59 year old drivers</u>.

We can rewrite this as:

  • H₁: μ₁ > μ₂
  • Our variables have already been defined

(d) In order to calculate the p-value, we must find the test statistic first.

We can do so by using this formula:

  • \displaystyle t=\frac{x_1-x_2}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}  }}

We are given these variables in the problem:

  • x_1=4590
  • s_1=2302
  • x_2=3670
  • s_2=2029
  • n_1=40
  • n_2=40

Substitute these variables into the formula for the test statistic.

  • \displaystyle t=\frac{4590-3670}{\sqrt{\frac{2302^2}{40} +\frac{2029^2}{40} } }

You can use the calculator to solve this expression, or plug the numbers into your calculator using: STAT - TESTS - 4:2-SAMPTTEST.

Your test statistic should be: t = 1.8962.

The calculator should also tell you the p-value; p = .0308.

(e) Since p = .0308 < α = .1, <u>reject</u> the null. We have convincing statistical evidence that the mean claim of collision costs for 20-24 year old drivers is higher than the mean claim of collision costs for 30-59 year old drivers.

Eight less than four times a number is less then 56. What are the possible values of that number?
Mashutka [201]

Answer: B. X<12

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out what number multipled by 4 is less than 56

4 x 12 = 48

56-48 = 8

And 4 is lower/less than 12 so that's why it's B

Please help me with this
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of a side of PQRS to the corresponding side in TUVW. is 6:4=3:2.

The ratio of RS:VW=3:2. RS=12, and VW=x. 12:x=3:2. 3 multiplied by 4 is 12, so 2 multiplied by 4 is x. So, the makes x=8.
