8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x:  0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces

Answer:

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

New weight = 15.1 ounce

Old weight = x ounce

(Old weight) -8% of old weight= new weight

X - 0.08x= 15.1

X(1-0.08)= 15.1

X*0.92= 15.1

X= 15.1/0.92

X = 16.413

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

X/9 times 15-47=28<br> help pls
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

Then,

x/5(15)-47=28

Step 1: Simplify the equation on both sides

x/9(15)-47=28

5/3x-47=28

Step 2: Add 47 to both sides

5/3x-47+47=28+47

5/3x=75

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/5

(3/5)*(5/3x)=(3/5)*(75)

x=45

(2.5 points) The probability that an airplane accident which is due to structural failure is diagnosed correctly is 0.85 and the
Nikitich [7]

Answer: 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability. The first event is the airplane accident being caused by structural failure. The probability of it being due to structural failure is 0.3 and the probability of it not being due to structural failure is 0.7. The second event involves the diagnosis of the event. If a plane fails due to structural failure, the probability that it will be diagnosed and the results will say it was due to structural failure is 0.85, and the probability that the diagnosis is unable to identify that it was because of a structural failure is 0.15. If the plane were to fail as a result of some other reason aside structural failure, the probability that the diagnosis will show that it was as a result of structural failure is 0.35 and the probability of the diagnosis showing that is is not as a result of structural failure is 0.65. To find the probability that an airplane failed due to structural failure given that it was diagnosed that it failed due to some malfunction, this is the equation;

p = (probability of plane failing and diagnosis reporting that the failure was due to structural failure)/ (probability of diagnosis reporting that failure was due to structural failure)

p = (0.3*0.85)/((0.3*0.85) + (0.7*0.35))

p = 0.51

Find the 97th term of the arithmetic sequence
kozerog [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The 97th term in the series is 409</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 25, 29, 33, ....

The sequence represents arithmetic progression

In an AP, the first term is a1  = 25

The difference between two terms, d = 29 - 25 = 4

To find the 97th term,

By formula, a_{n}  = a_{1} + (n - 1) d

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

a_{97}  = 25 + (97 - 1) 4

= 25 + (96 * 4)

= 25 + 384

= 409

The 97 th term in the given sequence is 409.
