First add the prices of the original books.

2.5+4.95+6=11.45

Find 20% of 11.45

=2.29

Therefore I saved $2.29

One third of the candidates for a job were 25 years old or younger. two sevenths of the candidates were at least 50 years old. i

Shalnov [3]

There are three groups of people: 25 years old and younger, between 25 to 50, and 50 years old and older. Their fractions must equal to 1 because these three together form the whole.

1 = 1/3 + 2/7 + x
where x is the fraction for people ages 25 to 50 years old
x = 8/21

So, the actual number of people ages 25 to 50 years old is:

84(8/21) = 32 people

√(5-2x) - √(2-x) = 1

Square both sides. (5-2x) - (2-x) = 1^2. 5 - 2x - 2 + x = 1. Simplify to get 3 - x = 1. X=2

A new restaurant with 134 seats is being planned. Studies show that 62% of the customers demand a smoke-free area. How many se

zzz [600]

Answer: 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of seats planned in new restaurant =134

The percentage of customers demand a smoke-free area = 62%

It can also be written as $62\%=\dfrac{62}{100}=0.62$

The mean of this binomial distribution will be :-

$\mu=np\\\\\mu=(134)(0.62)=83.08$

Standard deviation:-

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}\\\\\Rightarrow\sigma=\sqrt{134(0.62)(0.38)}\approx5.6$

Now, the number of seats should be in the non-smoking area in order to be very sure of having enough seating there :-

$\mu+3\sigma=83.08+3(5.6)=99.88\approx100$
