1. 20.93 is 7% of something. Divide 20.93 by 7 and you get 2.99, which is 1% of something Multiply 2.99 by 100 to get the original value, $299

2. 5.5% of 5700 is 313.5. Add that to 290 to get $603.5

3. The $375 that she earns is 5% of what she has sold. Multiply 375 by 20 to get $7500, how much she needs to sell

4. The total cost of the 3 lamps is 22.49x3, 67.47. Add that to 829.99 to get 897.46. Multiply that by 0.0425 (4.25%) to get 38.14205, or just 38.14 in sales tax

1. he earns 20.93 which is 7% of the price of the printer so 7%=7/100 so
20.93=7/100 so here is a little trick
     so we want to know what 100% is so
      we know that 1/2 is equal to 4/8 so since they are equal, we can flip one of them and if we multiply them with each other, we will get 1/1 or 1 so 1/2 times 8/4=8/8 or 1 so

20.93/x (x=100%)
20.93/x=7/100 so
20.93/x times 100/7=1
2093/7x=1
multiply both sides by 7x
2093=7x
divide both sides by 7
299=x
the printer cost $299


2.so 290+5.5% of sales
sales=5700
5.5%=0.055
'of' can be thought of as multiply so
0.055 times 5700=313.5
290+313.5=603.5=what she made that week


3. she earns 5% and that's all she earns
5%=375
a hack is that 5 times 200=100 so
5% times 20=100% so
375 times 20=100%=$7500=amount that needs to be sell to get 375


4. so he buys 3 laps at 22.49 each and 829.99 with 4.25% or
3 times 22.49=67.47+829.99 times 4.25% or
897.46 times 4.25% or 897.46 times .0425 and get $38.1421 sales tax owed

A. How many ways can you distribute $4$ different balls among $4$ different boxes? B. How many ways can you distribute $4$ ident
zysi [14]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

A. How many ways can you distribute 4 different balls among 4 different boxes

The number of ways in which 4 different balls can be distributed among 4 different boxes is 4^4=256\ ways

B. How many ways can you distribute 4 identical balls among 4 identical boxes?

The number of ways in which 4 identical balls can be distributed among 4 identical boxes = P(4,1) + P(4,2) +P(4,3) + P(4,4) = 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 5 ways

Where P(k,n) is the number of partitions that k can be divided into n parts

P(4,1) = 4 = 1

P(4,2) = 1 + 3, 2+2 = 2

P(4,3) = 1 + 1 + 2 = 1

P(4,4) = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1

C. How many ways can you distribute 4 identical balls among 4 different boxes

The number of ways in which 4 identical balls can be distributed among 4 different boxes = C(4\ ball+4\ box-1,4\ box-1)=C(7,3)=\frac{7!}{(7-3)!3!}=35\ ways

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

47% of American adult population

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why polls are carried out is to obtain information that can represent the opinions, status or habits of the population. The polls do not include the total population, then include a small number of participants, but the results are extrapolated to the general population. There are always small margins of error resulting from polls, that is why the confidence levels are usually +/- 3 or 4%.
