(part/whole)*100%=20%
(360/whole)=20/100
360/whole=0.2
whole *0.2=360
whole =360/0.2 =1800

Simple Interest Rate Formula: $\displaystyle A = P(1 + r)^t$

<em>P</em> is principle amount
<em>r</em> is rate
<em>t</em> is time (in years)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

<em>P</em> = 7300

<em>r</em> = 3% = 0.03

<em>t</em> = 10

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>A</u></em>

Substitute in variables [Simple Interest Rate Formula]: $\displaystyle A = 7300(1 + 0.03)^{10}$
(Parenthesis) Add: $\displaystyle A = 7300(1.03)^{10}$
Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle A = 7300(1.34392)$
Multiply: $\displaystyle A = 9810.59$

HELP PLEASE MATH!! A company is testing tires for wear and tear. A given tire is said to either pass the test (P) or fail the te

Xelga [282]

Answer:

PPF, PFF

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can list all the possible combinations. A couple of my favorite are a) use a binary counting sequence; b) use a gray code counting sequence.

Using the first method, the binary numbers 000 to 111 can be listed in numerical order as 000, <em>001</em>, 010, <em>011</em>, 100, 101, 110, 111. Letting 0=P and 1=F, the ones missing from your list are the ones in italics in my list.

Using the second method, we change the right-most character, then the middle one, and finally the left-most character so there is one change at a time: 000, <em>001</em>, <em>011</em>, 010, 110, 111, 101, 100.

After you have a list of all possible combinations, it is a simple matter to compare the given list to the list of possibilities to see which are missing.

Total cost is 3,900. 115 x 20 = 2,300.
80 x 20 = 1,600. 2,300 + 1,600 = 3,900.
