You could say that you spent (purchased) 85% of the money that you had.

You spent a total of $85.

If you create the fraction 85/100, that is the same as saying you spent 85% of the money.

Out of a salary of $4500, I kept 1/3 as savings. Out of the remaining money, I spend 50% on food and 20% on house rent. How much
jeka94

Answer:

$2100

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 4500 is 1500

to find 1/3 of a number is to multiply by 1/3

1/3 * 4500 = 1500

$1500 is for savings

subtract 1500 from 4500

4500 - 1500 = 3000

the remaining money is $3000

to find 50% of something, divide by 2

3000/2 = 1500

$1500 is spent on food.

20% of 3000 is 600

to find 20% of something, multiply the decimal value (0.2)

0.2 * 3000 = 600

$600 are spent on rent.

$450 leftover

1500 + 600 = 2100

Food and rent cost $2100

hope this helps:)

A specimen of charcoal found at Stonehenge contains 63% as much Carbon-14 as a sample of present-day charcoal. What is the age o
seraphim [82]
Since we are given with the identity of the chemical as Carbon-14, we obtain the half-life of the chemical from a reliable source and get a value of 5730 years. The equation that we are going to use for this item is,
                              A(t)/A(0) = (0.50)^(n/5730)
where A(t) is the current amount, A(0) is the initial amount and n is the number of years. We know from the given that the ratio of A(t) and A(0) is equal to 0.63. Substituting this to the given,
                                0.63 = 0.50^(n/5730)
                                        n = 3819.48 
Thus, the sample is approximately 3819.5 years old.

nadezda [96]
The probability is C) 3/8.

The spinner landed on H 15 times out of (12+9+15+4) = 40 times.  This is a probability of 15/40, which simplifies to 3/8.

The mode interval in a histogram is the interval that has the highest frequency.
raketka [301]
This is true. 

When we're talking about the mode, we're usually talking about the number which has the highest frequency in a given set of numbers. For example, out of the numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 5 5 5 

5 will be the mode.

.<br> Which could be a value for n?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

A. -\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Each mark represent 0.1 unit, so if you count from 0 to n you get 0.5 that is exactly the same that -\frac{1}{2} (for convention the left of the 0 is taken as negative and the right as positive).
