Let the initial money be x so by question,
3x/5 +1x/5+1200=x
or, 1200= x - 4x/5
or, 1200 = 1x/5
or, 6000= x
hence the initial money was 6000$

Find the median of the following set of data. 13, 11, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16

klemol [59]

Firstly arrange data from smaller to greater data point:
4 5 6 9 10 11 12 13 15 16
Secondly find the middle value: In our case the number of data is even, so to get the middle value we have to find the mean (average) between 10 & 11, that is 10.5. So the rank of the Median is10.5

Write an equation of the line passing through (-2,4) and (3,5). Give the answer in standard form.The equation of the line in sta

Alecsey [184]

Start finding the slope of the line

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{then,} \\ m=\frac{5-4}{3-(-2)} \\ k=\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}$

using one of the points find the intercept and the standard form

$\begin{gathered} (-2,4) \\ 4=\frac{1}{5}(-2)+b \\ b=4+\frac{2}{5} \\ b=4.4 \end{gathered}$

the equation of the line is

$y=\frac{1}{5}x+4.4$
