To set up an equation for this you can use a variable to represent your unknown (in this case the unknown is how long it will take to frame 54 houses)

We know that 3 houses can be framed in 1 week so you can represent the equation as 

3x=54 (3 being the amount of houses framed in 1 week, x being how many weeks it will take to frame 54 houses)

You can isolate X by dividing both sides by 3 (3x/3 = 54/3) which simplifies to 
x = 54/3

a motel clerk counts his $1 and $10 bills at the end of the day. he finds that he has a total of 56 bills having a combined mone
alina1380 [7]
We can write a system of equations:

1x + 10y = 182
x + y = 56

Where 'x' is the number of $1 bills, and 'y' is the number of $10 bills.

To find this we can solve using substitution.

Re-arrange the 2nd equation:

x + y = 56

Subtract 'y' to both sides:

x = -y + 56

Now we can plug in '-y + 56' for 'x' in the first equation.

1x + 10y = 182

1(-y + 56) + 10y = 182

-y + 56 + 10y = 182

Subtract 56 to both sides:

-y + 10y = 126

Combine like terms:

9y = 126

Divide 9 to both sides:

y = 14

Now we can plug this into any of the two equations to find the 'x' value.

x + y = 56

x + 14 = 56

Subtract 14 to both sides:

x = 42

So our final answer is (42, 14).

This means that the motel clerk had 42 $1 bills, and 14 $10 bills.

Question 7
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this is to find the tax as a decimal. Worry about the 100 later.

54 * x = 3.56

Divide by 54

x = 3.56/54

x = .06593

Now use the 100

0.06592 * 100 = 6.593

But you want it rounded to the 1/10

So you should get 6.6 %

1. A gambler makes 100 column bets at roulette. The chance of winning on any one play is 12/38. The gambler can either win $ 5 o
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

a) Expected amount of the gambler's win = $0.209

b) SD = 2.26

c)P (X >1) = P(z >0.35) = 0.36317

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of winning, p = 12/38 =6/19

Probability of losing, q = 1 -p = 1-6/19

q = 13/19

Win amount = $5

Loss amount = $2

a) Expected total amount of win = ((6/19)*5) - ((13/19)*2)

Expected total amount of win = 1.579 - 1.369

Expected amount of win, E(X) = $0.209

b) Standard Deviation for the total amount of the gambler's win

SD = \sqrt{E(X^{2}) - (E(X))^{2} }

E(X²) = (6/19)*5²  -  (13/19)*2²

E(X²) = 5.158

SD = \sqrt{5.158 - 0.209^2}

SD = 2.26

c)  probability that, in total, the gambler wins at least $1.

P(X >1)

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

μ = E(x) = 0.209

z = (1-0.209)/2.26

z = 0.35

P( X >1) = P(z >0.35)

P(z >0.35) = 1 - P(z <0.35)

P(z >0.35) = 1 - 0.63683

P(z >0.35) = 0.36317
