Answer:

C. 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original price of shirt = $42.39

Current sales price of shirt = $38.15

Required:

% decrease in the price of shirt

SOLUTION:

Percentage decrease in price of shirt = change in price over original price, multiplied by 100%

Change in price = original price - current price = $42.39 - $38.15 = $4.24

% decrease = \frac{4.24}{42.39}*100

= \frac{4.24*100}{42.39}

= \frac{424}{42.39}

% decrease = 10.00

mina [271]

Given:

The recipe calls for \dfrac{3}{8} cup of chili powder.

Karl only wants to use half as much so it won’t be so spicy.

To find:

How much chili powder should Karl use?

Solution:

We have,

Chill power for recipe = \dfrac{3}{8} cup

Chill power used by Karl is half  of chill power for recipe.

\text{Chill power used by Karl}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{3}{8} cup\text{Chill power used by Karl}=\dfrac{3}{16} cup

Therefore, \dfrac{3}{16} cup of chili powder should Karl use.

<span>You can use the fact that the work done is equivalent to finding the center of mass of the water in the tank(which is at the center of the cylindrical cross section, which is 3 ft below the level to which the liquid is pumped. Call this distance h. 
You then need the total mass of the liquid, volume X density=m. This is where pi comes in!

Suppose a basketball player has made 291 out of 389 free throws. If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $38.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The expected value of the proposition is -$0.76.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that a basketball player has made 291 out of 389 free throws.

Then rate of him making a free throw is,

P(\text{free throw})=\frac{291}{389}=0.7481

The probability that he makes the next 2 free throws is:

P(\text{Next 2 free throws})=(0.7481)^{2}=0.5596

The payout rules are:

  • If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $38.
  • Otherwise you pay me $50.

Compute the expected value of the proposition as follows:

Expected value = $38 × P (Makes both) + (-$50) × P (Misses both)

                          =($38\times 0.5596)+(-$50\times (1-0.5596))\\=21.2648-22.02\\=-0.7552\\\approx -$0.76

Thus, the expected value of the proposition is -$0.76.

What is .65% of 160? Show your work
vladimir2022 [97]
0.65/100 = x/160 Ok, until now?

You then find the cross product: (0.65)(160) = 100x

104 = 100x        104/100 = 1.04

So x = 1.04 and it is also 0.65% of 160


Hope this helps!
