Alright so to do this you need some basic algebra
you have to pay an extra 20% of whatever you buy
thus we can make the following equation
.2x+x=20 (since 20 is the amount of money you have)
combining the like terms,
1.2x=20
and finally, dividing both sides by 1.2
x=$16.67
don't forget to check!
.05*16.67=.83 (sales tax makes the total $17.5)
.15*16.67=2.5 (tip makes the total $20)
whaddya you know, it works!
most expensive item you can buy will cost $16.67
hope this helped!
Answer:
0.45134
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
p = 0.6
n = 400
Probability that sample. Proportion falls between 0.59 and 0.62
Using Normal approximation :
Mean (m) = n * p = 400 * 0.6 = 240
Standard deviation (s) = sqrt(pq/n)
q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
s = sqrt((0.6 * 0.4) / 400) = 0.0244948
P(0.59 < p < 0.62) :
(x - m) / s
P((0.59 - 0.6) / 0.0244948) < p < P((0.62 - 0.6) / 0.0244948)
P(Z < −0.408249) < p < P(Z < 0.8164998)
Using the Z probability calculator :
0.79289 - 0.34155 = 0.45134
4x - 2x = - 3 - 5
2x = - 8
x = - 4
There are 100 pennies in a dollar. We can divide 12000 pennies by 100 to find out how much they are worth in dollars.
12000/100 = $120
