Answer:

A) 16.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) A local hairdresser bought 450 shares of a cosmetic corporation

2) He/she purchased each share for $33.50

3) He/she then sold each share for $39.01

In order to solve this problem, we need to calculate the percent increase between $33.50 and $39.01. To do this, we begin my subtracting the original price by the new price.

$39.01 - $33.50 = $5.51

So, each share increased by $5.51! Now, we need to divide the difference of the two numbers by the original price.

$5.51/$33.50 =  approximately 0.164

Now, we just have to multiply our number, by 100, to find the percent increase between $33.50 and $39.01.

0.164 x 100 = 16.4%

Hope this helps! :)

Thuy rolls a number cube 7 times. which expression represents the probability of rolling a 4 exactly 2 times?
Nady [450]
The result of rolling a number cube 7 times is a 7-digit number composed of digits 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 so that digits can repeat. The total number of possibilities is 6^7.

The number of possibilities where 4 appears exactly two times is 5^5*(7!-6!/2).
 5^5 is the number of 5-digits numbers composed of digits 1,2,3,5 and 6 so that digits can repeat.
7! is the number of permutations of digits 1,2,3,4,4,5 and 6.
6! is the number of permutations of digits 1,2,3,{4,4},5 and 6.
We don't want to subtract all numbers where digits 4 appear side by side. That's why we must divide 6! by 2.

Finally, the probability is P=5^5(7!-6!/2)/7^7

omeli [17]

I think it's false.... 5/6 is 83.33% as a percent so I don't think it's true.

Hi!

We need to find the cost per ounce. 
2.10/16 = 0.13125

It costs 0.13125 per ounce. 

Now find the cost of 12 ounces. 
12 * 0.13125 = $1.58

The answer is $1.58

Hope this helps! :)

If gumballs cost 150 a bag ,and there 15!gumballs in each bag much do you need to charge for each gumball in order to make money
pshichka [43]
More than 10 a gumball.

150 divided by 15 is 10, which would be the price you bought for. If you want to make more money, you must at least have a surge pricing of 10 unit prices per gumball.
