Answer:

Option B. $0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

First day fine = $0.10

Second day fine (doubled or $0.30 which is lesser)

= $0.10 + $0.10           [$0.10 is lesser than $0.30]

= $0.20

Third day fine = $0.20 + $0.20           [ $0.20 is lesser than $0.30]

                      = $0.40

Fourth day fine = $0.40 + $0.30  = $0.70

[$0.30 is cheaper than doubling the amount $0.40 + $0.40]

Therefore, the total fine for a book on the fourth day is $0.70

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

15,236 sq in

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to split the net into three rectangles and two triangles

step 1

triangular base area

1/2 bh = 1/2 (44 in)(64 in)

= 1/2 (2,816 sq in)

= 1,408 sq in.

2 x 1,408 sq in = 2,816 sq in.

step 2

end rectangle area

lw = (68 in)(69 in)

= 4,692 sq in

2 x 4,692 sq in = 9,384 sq in

Now find the area of the middle rectangle

lw - (69 in) (44 in) = 3,039 sq in.

then add all the areas together

2,816 + 9,384 + 3,036 = 15,236 sq in

Hope this helps :)

What is an equation of a line,in point-slope from, that passes through (1, -7) and has a slope of -2/3
il63 [147K]

Answer:

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - \frac{2}{3} and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) ← in point- slope form

irakobra [83]

Answer:

59.049%

Step-by-step explanation:

J. J. Redick is an excellent free throw shooter and makes 90% of his free throws

P(making one free throw) =90%

Therefore:

P($making 5 consecutive free throws)=P(making 1st) X P(making 2nd) X P(making 3rd)X P(making 4th) X P(making 5th)\\\\=90\%X90\%X90\%X90\%X90\%\\\\=0.9X0.9X0.9X0.9X0.9\\\\=0.59049\\\\=59.049\%

If Charlotte spent 25% more on furniture than she will on flooring, how much did she spend on furniture?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Charlotte spent   x + 0.25x on furniture

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Charlotte spent 25% more on furniture than she will on flooring

To Find:

Amount spent on furniture = ?

Solution:

Let the amount spent on flooring be x

and the amount spent on furniture be y

25% more on furniture than she spent on flooring can be written as

=>25% of x

So the cost spent on furniture will be

=>y= cost spent on flooring +  25% of cost spent on flooring

=>y= x + 25% of x

=>y=x + \frac{25}{100} \times x

=> y=x + 0.25x
