Answer:

252 students at the party like to dance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

60% of the students are girls

40% of the students like to dance

20 more boy students

Percentage of the girls in the party = 58%

To Find:

How many students now at the party like to dance=?

Solution:

Let the number of girls be g.

Let the number of total people originally be t.

We know that

$\frac{g}{t}=\frac{60}{100}$

$\frac{g}{t}=\frac{3}{5}$ ----------------------------------(1)

We also know that

$\frac{g}{t+20}=\frac{58}{100}$

$\frac{g}{t+20}=\frac{29}{50}$ -----------------------------(2)

We now have a system of equation from (1) and (2)

3t=5g

$g = \frac{3t}{5}$ ------------------------(3)

50g=29t+580------------------------(4)

Substituting 3 in 4, we get

$50(\frac{3t}{5})=29t+580$

$(\frac{150t}{5})=29t+580$

$30t =29t+580$

$30t -29t = 580$

t =589

So originally there was 580 students

In this 580 students 40% liked to dance

Then the number of students liked to dance =

=> $40\% \text{of} 580$

=> $\frac{40}{100} \times 580$

=> $0.4 \times 580$

=> 232

We also know that with these people, 20 boys joined, all of whom like to dance.

Now the number of students like to dance = 232+20 = 252 students

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

X = an US adult who does not uses social media.

Y = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

Z = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (X')) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

$=1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (Y)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

$=1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

$=0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

First, we need to know how much profit in dollar value by this method
profit = percentage × whole price

Plug in the numbers to the formula above
profit = percentage × whole price
profit = 40% × 25
profit = 0.40 × 25
profit = 10
The profit Daniel gets is $10

Second, add the original price and the profit together and you'll find the new price.
new price = original price + profit
new price = $25 + $10
new price = $35

Daniel sold the computer game for $35
