In 1945, the federal minimum wage was $0.40/h. In 2015, the federal minimum wage is $7.25/h. What is the percent increase?

1 answer:

3 0

You need to know the difference in change between .40 and 7.25, which is 6.85, then you divide the change in price by the original amount, so you do 6.85/.40, which is 17.125, then multiply by 100 to get percent and you get 1712.5% increase.

In one lottery game, contestants pick five numbers from 1 through 23 and have to match all five for the big prize (in any order)

mihalych1998 [28]

The probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The numbers are given as:

1 to 23

There are five matching numbers

The probability of getting a match is:

p = 5-k/n where k = 0, 1, 2

While the complement probability is

q = (n - 2)/n

Using the above formulas, the probability of getting from 5 is:

P = 5/23 * 4/22 * 3/21 * 18/20 * 17/19

Evaluate the product

P = 153/33649

Hence, the probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649

What is 2m + 3m² - 4m ? Please show you work. :-)

Alchen [17]

Combine like terms
2m and -4m are like terms while 3m^2 isnt. So, leave 3m^2 as it is and combine the other set. 2m-4m = (-2m). Therefore, your answer should be 3m^2 - 2m
