180 divided by 3, then multiplied by 4 ($240)
Valentin [98]3 years ago
3 0
So
100%=original
25% discount
100-25=75
it is 180 sale
75%=180
find 100%

a hack is to recognize that 75/3 times 4=100 so
75%=180
divide 3
25%=60
times 4
100%=240


the real way is proportions
75:180 =100:x
75/180=100/x
multiply both sides by 180x
75x=18000
divide 75
x=240



origitnal price=$240

A cable car starts off with n riders. The times between successive stops of the car are independent exponential random variables
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The distribution is \frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}

Solution:

As per the question:

Total no. of riders = n

Now, suppose the T_{i} is the time between the departure of the rider i - 1 and i from the cable car.

where

T_{i} = independent exponential random variable whose rate is \lambda

The general form is given by:

T_{i} = \lambda e^{- lambda}

(a) Now, the time distribution of the last rider is given as the sum total of the time of each rider:

S_{n} = T_{1} + T_{2} + ........ + T_{n}

S_{n} = \sum_{i}^{n} T_{n}

Now, the sum of the exponential random variable with \lambda with rate \lambda is given by:

S_{n} = f(t:n, \lamda) = \frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}

Directions: Calculate the percent increase or decrease between the starting and ending
Sveta_85 [38]

I'll do the first two to get you started

===============================================

Problem 1

A = 3 = starting value

B = 10 = ending value

C = percent change

C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (10-3)/3 ] * 100%

C = (7/3) * 100%

C = 2.3333333 * 100%

C = 233.33333%

C = 233.3%

The positive C value means we have a percent increase. If C was negative, then we'd have a percent decrease.

<h3>Answer: 233.3% increase</h3>

===============================================

Problem 2

A = 9 = start value

B = 20 = end value

C = percent change

C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (20-9)/9 ] * 100%

C = (11/9)*100%

C = 1.2222222222*100%

C = 122.22222222%

C = 122.2%

<h3>Answer: 122.2% increase</h3>
