Answer: option c. 20%

<span>- airline ticket: $69

- sales tax, 15%: $10.35

- baggage fee: $20.

- taxi:  8 miles * $2.50 per mile = $20

Sub-total: 69 +10.35 + 20 + 20 =  $ 119.35

If Clovis has spent a total of $123.35 => tip = 123.35 - 119.35 = $4.00

at what percent of his fare did Clovis tip the taxi driver?

[$4 / $20] * 100 = 20%

Answer:

211%

Step-by-step explanation:

Somos informados:

Segundo o Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (Inpe), de janeiro a setembro de 2019, foram registrados 4.660 focos de incêndio, em 2020 foram registrados 14.489 focos. Qual é a porcentagem de aumento de focos de incêndio em 2020 em comparação com os focos registrados em 2019?

A fórmula de aumento percentual é fornecida como

Aumentar / tamanho inicial × 100

Aumento = 14489 focos de incêndio - 4660 focos de incêndio

= 9829 focos de incêndio

Aumento percentual = 9829/4660 × 100

= 210.92274678 %

≈ 211%

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 237276 cm^3. We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimize
svp [43]

Answer:

A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+949104}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a box with a square base and an open top which must have a volume of 237276 cubic centimetre. We want to find a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x, the length of one side of the square base.

Let the side length of the base =x

Let the height of the box =h

Since the box has a square base

Volume,

V=x^2h=237276\\\\h=\dfrac{237276}{x^2}

Surface Area of the box = Base Area + Area of 4 sides

Area, A(x,h)=x^2+4xh

Substitute h derived above into A(x,h)

Area=x^2+4x(\frac{237276}{x^2})\\\\A(x)=x^2+\dfrac{949104}{x}\\\\A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+949104}{x}

Therefore, a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x, the length of one side of the square base is:

A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+949104}{x}

Answer:

t(x) = 4x  - 2  \\ c(x) = x + 9 \\ c(t(x)) = (4x - 2) + 9  \\ = (4(2) - 2) + 9 \\  = 8 - 2 + 9 \\  = 6 + 9 = 15

The quarterly returns for a group of 51 mutual funds are well modeled by a Normal model with a mean of 7.4​% and a standard devi
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

A) x ≥ 0.074; B) x ≥ 0.108; C) x ≤ 0.006; D) 0.04 ≤ x ≤ 0.108

Step-by-step explanation:

68% of data will fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% of data will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% of data will fall within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Breaking this down, we find that 34% of data fall from the mean to 1 standard deviation above the mean; 13.5% of data fall from 1 standard deviation above the mean to 2 standard deviations above the mean; 2.35% of data fall from 2 standard deviations above the mean to 3 standard deviations above the mean; and 0.15% of data fall above 3 standard deviations above the mean.

The same percentages apply to the standard deviations below the mean.

The highest 50% of data will fall from the mean to the end of the right tail.  This means the inequality for the highest 50% will be x ≥ 0.074, the mean.

The highest 16% of data will fall from 1 standard deviation above the mean to the end of the right tail.  This means the inequality for the highest 16% will be x ≥ 0.074+0.034, or x ≥ 0.108.

The lowest 2.5% of data will fall from 2 standard deviations below the mean to the end of the left tail.  This means the inequality for the lowest 2.5% will be x ≤ 0.074-0.034-0.034, or x ≤ 0.066.

The middle 68% will fall from 1 standard deviation below the mean to 1 standard deviation above the mean; this means the inequality for the middle 68% will be

0.074-0.034 ≤ x ≤ 0.074+0.034, or

0.04 ≤ x ≤ 0.108

A standard deck of cards has 52 cards in four suits: spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. Spades and clubs are black; hearts and
Olegator [25]

Answer:

231

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's compute the probability of this event and then multiply it by 100.

As each deck has 4 suits and each suit has 3 faces, there are 12 faces in a deck.

As a deck has 52 cards, the probability of drawing a face is

<em>12/52 = 0.23076 </em>

This means that if you choose a card 1000 times from a deck of poker cards, you probably will select 231  times a face (rounding to the nearest integer).
