Answer:

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or 2.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let P(A) = Probability of irs auditing

P(A) = 2.8%

Let n = number of those who earn above 100,000

To get the odds that taxpayer would be audited, we need to first calculated the proportion of those that will be audited and those that won't.

If the probability is 2.8% then 2.8 out of 100 will be audited. That doesn't make a lot of sense since you can't have 2.8 people; we multiply the by 10/10

i.e.

Proportion, P = 2.8/100 * 10/10

P = 28/1000

The proportion of those that would not be audited is calculated as follows;

Q = 1000 - P

By substituton

Q = 1000 - 28

Q = 972

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or P/Q

P/Q = 28/972

= 0.0288065844

= 2.88% --- Approximately

Ellen saved $2000 and she spent 10% of it to buy a bike. Kim saved 8% more than that of Ellen's left savings. If Lisa saved 60%
enyata [817]

Answer: Lis saved $1166.4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Ellen saved $2000 and she spent 10% of it to buy a bike.

Then, Ellen's left saving = saved amount - 10% of  (saved amount)

= $2000 - 0.10 x $2000 <em>[We convert perecntage to decimal by diving it by 100]</em>

= $2000 - $200

= $1800

So, Ellen's left saving= $1800

Also, Kim saved 8% more than that of Ellen's left savings.

Kim's Saving = Ellen's left saving + 8% of (Ellen's left saving)

= $1800  + (0.08) x ($1800) <em>[We convert perecntage to decimal by diving it by 100]</em>

= $1800 +  $144

i.e. Kim's Saving= $1944

If Lisa saved 60% as much as Kim, then Lisa's saving  = 60% of (Kim's Saving)

= (0.60) x ($1944) <em>[We convert perecntage to decimal by diving it by 100]</em>

i.e. Lisa's saving = $1166.4

An expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of this triangle is 6q + 8r - 5s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • a = (q + r) centimeters.
  • b = (5q - 10s) centimeters.
  • c = (5s + 7r) centimeters.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional geometric shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles only.

<h3>How to calculate the perimeter of a triangle?</h3>

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle can be calculated by using this formula:

P = a + b + c

<u>Where:</u>

a, b, and c are length of sides.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

P = q + r + 5q - 10s + 5s + 7r

P = 6q + 8r - 5s centimeters.

A map is being reduced to from a pocket sized version. What is the scale factor being used to reduce the map?
Aneli [31]

Answer and explanation:

If a map is being reduced to form a pocket sized version then it is being proportionality reduced a smaller size that is required. Cartographers enlarge and reduce maps proportionally to serve different purposes in their study. The map is still the same but smaller in size.

If on a map 2cm represents 2 meters, that is 0.02/2 which evaluates to 1/100, then we are comparing distance and ensuring they are proportional using scale factor(our scale factor is 1:100 here)
