When a number is decreased by 45%, the result is 9. What is the original number to the nearest tenth?

Mathematics

Paul [167]3 years ago

Answer:

16.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To decrease a number by 45% of its value, you subtract the 45%. To get 45%, you multiply the number by 0.45.

So, if x is the original number, then the equation for this word problem would be x - 0.45x = 9.

To solve, we first subtract 0.45x from x, which is 0.55x. This means that 0.55x is equal to 9. To simplify, we can divide both sides by 0.55. 9/0.55 is 16.36363636..., etc. The nearest tenth would be 0.4, so your answer is 16.4

A company purchases shipments of machine components and uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 20 componen
musickatia [10]

Answer: Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 0.629

Step-by-step explanation:

The company randomly select and test 20 components and accept the whole batch if there are fewer than 3 defectives.

Applying normal distribution,

z = (x-u)/s

Where

n = number of components that were tested.

s = standard deviation

u = mean = np

p = probability that the component has defect

q = probability that the component does not have defect

x = r = the number of components

From the information given,

p = 8/100 = 0.08

q = 1-q = 1-0.08 = 0.92

n = 20

u = 20×0.08 = 1.6

s = √20 × 0.08 × 0.92 = √1.472

s = 1.21

Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted will be probability that fewer than 3 components have defects. This means that it must be lesser than or equal to 2 components.

P(x lesser than 3) =P(x lesser than or equal to 2). Therefore,

x = 2

z = (2-1.6)/1.21 = 0.33

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.629

A prize fund is setup with a single investment of £4000 to provide an annual prize of £150. The fund accrues interest at 5% p.A.
Verdich [7]

The invested amount, A=£4000

Rate of interest on this amount, r=5% per annum.

Total interest on the amount £4000 after 1 year

= 5\% \;\text{of} \;\£ 4000=0.05\times \£4000=\£200.

The total amount after 1 year, P=£4000+£200=£4200

Amount remains after an annual prize of £150=£4200-£150=£4050.

Note that after providing the annual prize the amount remains is £4050 which is more than the invested amount of £4000 as the prize money is less than the interest gained.

Now, for the 2nd year, the 5% interest is on the principal amount of £4050, which will have more interest as compared to the interest of 1st year.

Again, after prize distribution, the total amount remains for the principal amount of 3rd year will be more than the principal amount of 2nd year. This sequence repeated every year and the total amount will increase every year.

So, it will never end, the full prize money can be awarded for infinitely many years.
