Answer:

$35.20

Step-by-step explanation:

For a profit of 24% on $34.10, this means that;

34.10 is 24% greater than the cost price

since; Profit = Selling price - cost price

To find the cost price (x):

Let the cost price be a 100% and the selling price of $34.10 be 124%

Now lets find the cost price

if 34.10 = 124%

then, x = 100%

x / 34.10 = 100% / 124 %

This gives;

124x = 34.10 (100)

124x = 3410

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 124

x = $27.50

Now lets find the selling price for a profit of 28%

28% of 27.5 = 7.70

from; Profit = Selling price - cost price

7.70 = Selling price - 27.50

Subtracting 7.7 from both sides we have;

Selling price = 27.50 + 7.70

Selling price = $35.20

Therefore, the selling prices for a profit of 28% is $35.20

Answer:

36.58 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

If 24% is $38.10, take 4% of of $38.10 to get 36.576. Then round to the nearest hundredth

Use simpson's rule with n = 10 to approximate the area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis. compare y

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

y = ln x , 1 <= x <= 3, about x axis and n = 10, dy/dx = 1/ x

S = (b a) ∫ 2π y √( 1 + (dy/dx) ^2) dx

so our f(x) is 2π y √( 1 + (dy/dx) ^2)

(b - a) / n = / 3 = (3-1) / 30 = 1/15

x0 = 1 , x1 = 1.2, x2 = 1.4, x3 = 1.6 ....... x(10) = 3

So we have , using Simpsons rule:-

S10 = (1/15) ( f(x0) + 4 f(x1) + 2 f)x2) +.... + f(x10) )

= (1/15) f(1) + f(3) + 4(f(1.2) + f(1.6) + f(2) + f(2.4) + f(2.8)) + 2(f(1.4) + f(1.8) + f(2.2) + f(2.6) )

( Note f(1) = 2 * π * ln 1 * √(1 + (1/1)^2) = 0 and f(3) = 2π ln3√(1+(1/3^2) = 7,276)

so we have S(10)

= 1/15 ( 0 + 7.2761738 + 4(1.4911851 +

Your co-worker, Amanda, and you are reliving your high school athletic "glory days" during a coffee break. She played basketball

topjm [15]

Answer:

Our score = 0.60, Amanda's score = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For Amanda

μ = 15 , σ = 4

z- score for X = 16 is (From z table)

z = (X - μ)/σ = (16 - 15)/4 = 0.25

For us

μ = 310 , σ = 25

z score for X = 325 (From z table)

z = (325-310)/25 = 0.60

Since our z score is better than Amanda's z score, we can say we did better

Two number cubes are rolled.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

When two number cubes are rolled,

Sample space= Total Possible outcome {11,22,33,44,55,66,12,21,13,31,14,41,15,51,16,61,23,32,24,42,25,52,26,62,34,43,35,53,36,63,45,54,46,64,56,65}=36

Probability of an event = \frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total possible outcome}}

Sum of 4 is obtained when ={13,31,22}=3

Probability of getting 4 when 2 number cubes are rolled= \frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}

Sum of the numbers is greater than 9= 10, 11,12={55,64,46,56,65,66}=6

Probability of getting(Sum of the numbers is greater than 9)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}

PLEASE HELP IMMEDIATELY!!!! Find x when – Negative one-half + x = –Negative StartFraction 21 over 4 EndFraction. – Negative Star

balu736 [363]

Answer:

-61/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 + x = - 21/4 - 23/4 - 19/4

-1/2 + x = -(21+23+19)/4

x = -63/4 + 1/2

x= -63/4 + 2/4

x = -61/4

Hope that helps, tell me if you need further explanation. =)
