Let p be the pre-tax cost.  Then 1.08p = $50.  Solving for p, the pre-tax cost, we get:

p = ($50) / (1.08) = $46.30.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Number of students participating in the competition = 13.

Total number of students in the school = 15.

Thus ,

the number of students who did not make to this competition =

Total number of students - number of students participated

= 15-13 = 2.

2. Find the product (2x + 3)(3x - 2).
eimsori [14]

Answer:

6x² + 5x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2x + 3)(3x - 2)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2x(3x - 2) + 3(3x - 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 6x² - 4x + 9x - 6 ← collect like terms

= 6x² + 5x - 6

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (-1, -4) And has a slope of -3?
Reptile [31]
Point-slope form is y- y_{1} =m(x- x_{1} ) where y1 and x1 are your points from the coordinate and m is the slope.  So yours would look like this: y-(-4)=-3(x-(-1)) or y + 4 = -3(x + 1)

A publisher reports that 54% of their readers own a particular make of car. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that t
dalvyx [7]

Answer and explanation:

Null hypothesis: p is not 54%

Alternative hypothesis : p is equal 54%

First find standard deviation

Standard deviation is:

σ = √[ P ( 1 - P ) / n ] = √[ 0.54×0.46/220 ] =0.033

The z score is calculated p-P/σ = (0.54-0.50)/0.033 = 1.2121

Therefore we can conclude that proportions are not same and fail to reject the null hypothesis
