A pair of basketball shoes was originally priced at $80, but was marked up 47.5%. What was the retail

1 answer:

6 0

47.5% in decimal form is 0.475.

Since the price was increased, we add 1 to 0.475 to get 1.475.

80 * 1.475 = 118

Another way to solve this is to multiply 80 by 0.475, which is 38, then add it to 80.

The retail price of the shoes is $118.

Christine Wong has asked Dave and Mike to help her move into a new apartment on Sunday morning. She has asked them both in case

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

(a) The probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b) The probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = Dave will show up.

<em>M</em> = Mike will show up.

Given:

$P(D^{c})=0.55\\P(M^{c})=0.45$

It is provided that the events of Dave of Mike showing up are independent of each other.

(a)

Compute the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up as follows:

$P(D\cap M)=P(D)\times P (M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]\times [1-P(M^{c})]\\=[1-0.55]\times[1-0.45]\\=0.2475\\\approx0.25$

Thus, the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one of them will show up as follows:

P (At least one of them will show up) = 1 - P (Neither will show up)

$=1-P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})\\=P(D\cup M)\\=P(D)+P(M)-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]+[1-P(M^{c})]-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-0.55]+[1-0.45]-0.25\\=0.75$

Thus, the probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c)

Compute the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up as follows:

$P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})=1-P(D\cup M)\\=1-P(D)-P(M)+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-P(D^{c})]-[1-P(M^{c})]+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-0.55]-[1-0.45]+0.25\\=0.25$

Thus, the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.

What is the distance between the point (10,12) and (-4,-36)

dimulka [17.4K]

Well using distance formula

$d \: = \sqrt{(x {}^{2} } - x {}^{1} ) + (y {}^{2} + y {}^{1} )$
The answer I got was Distance = 45.9 what ever unit of measure it might ask for. Feel free to check my math just in case.
