Tim and Jane both work for a company that sells boxes of breakfast cereal. the boxes of cereal cost £3.00 and the amount of cere

al in each box weighs 160g. the company wants to have a special offer. here is Tim's idea for the special offer: put 25% more cereal in each box and do not change the price here is Jane's idea: reduce the price and do not change the amount of cereal in each box Jane wants her idea to give the same value for money as Tim's idea by what percentage does she need to reduce the price?

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given situation the parameters are below:-

Cost of each box = 3 pounds

Amount of cereal in each box = 160 g

now,

160 g of cereal = 100%

and

25% of 1 box of cereal = 25% of 160 g which is

= \frac{25}{100} \times 160 g= 40 g

As per the question,  it is mention that Jane need her idea to give the equal value of amount as Tim's idea, provided

160 g of cereal costs 3 pounds

and

1 g of cereal will cost

=  \frac{3}{60}\ pounds

40 g of cereal will cost 40\times \frac{3}{160}  = \frac{3}{4}\ pounds

So, the percentage of \frac{3}{4} the pound is of 3 pounds is 3 ÷ 4 ÷ 3 × 100

= 25%

Therefore as the situation, Jane need to decline the amount by 25% for the same amount as Tim's idea.

After 200 feet of drilling on the first well, a soil test is taken. The probabilities of finding the particular type of soil ide
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The revised probabilities are;

The probability of finding soil with oil  = 0.8  

The probability of finding soil with good oil = 0.16

The probability of finding medium quality oil =  0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

The given probability of finding soil with high quality oil, P(QO) = 0.20

The probability of finding soil with medium-quality oil, P(OM) = 0.80

The probability of finding soil with no oil, P(ON) = 0.2

Therefore, given that the probability of finding soil with no oil = 0.2, we have;

The probability of finding soil with oil, P(OP) = 1 - the probability of finding soil with no oil

P(OP) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

Which gives;

The probability, P(FG) of finding soil with oil and that the oil is good is given as follows;

P(FG) = P(QO) × P(OP) = 0.2 × 0.8 = 0.16

The probability of finding good oil = 0.16

Similarly;

The probability of finding medium quality oil P(FM) =  P(OM) × P(OP) = 0.8 × 0.8 = 0.64

Which gives the revised probability as follows;

The probability of finding soil with oil, P(OP) = 0.8  

The probability of finding soil with good oil, P(FG) = 0.16

The probability of finding medium quality oil, P(FM) =  0.64.

How to solve shaded regions on a trapezoid is simple.
First find the area of the whole trapezoid, or W but it already gives us that as 21.66 in squared.
Next, find the area of the non shaded region, or NS.
3.8*4.6=17.48 in
Lastly, subtract the NS from the W.
21.66 -17.48 = 
NS= 17.48 in squared.
W= 21.66 in squared.
S= 4.18 in squared.
 
The answer is B- 4.18 in Squared

Answer:

Quesnel Lake:Lake Baikal=.31

Quesnel Lake:Great Slave Lake=.82

Step-by-step explanation:

1 foot = .3048 meters

Lake Baikal: 5369 ft. = 1636.4712 m

Great Slave Lake: 2015 ft. = 614.172 m

Quesnel Lake: 506 m

Quesnel Lake:Lake Baikal

506 \div 1636.472 = .31

Quesnel Lake:Great Slave Lake

506  \div 614.172 = .82
