Answer:

He will have $276.10 available towards the down payment for his motorcycle

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.

In this problem, we have that:

P = 250, t = 2, r = 0.05

Compounded quarterly, so n = 12/4 = 3.

We have to find A.

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A = 250(1 + \frac{0.05}{3})^{3*2}

A = 276.1

He will have $276.10 available towards the down payment for his motorcycle

In the past year Jenny watched 44 movies that she thought were very good. She watched 55 movies over the whole year. Of the movi
igomit [66]

To solve this problem, we must divide the number of movies that Jenny thought were very good by the total number of movies she watched. This is because we are finding a percentage, which represents a part out of a whole that have a factor, which in this case is very good movies. First, we begin by dividing 44/55. Then, we realize that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 11, so if we divided them both by 11 that would simplify the fraction.

44/55 = 44/11 / 55/11 = 4/5

Next, we can now easily divide our simplified fraction.

4/5 = 0.8

Finally, we must multiply by 100, because a percentage is a portion of 100 (the total is 100%). This is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right.

0.8 * 100 = 80%

Therefore, Jenny thinks that 80% of the movies she watched this year were very good.

Hope this helps!

2. In a given country, records show that of the registered voters, 45% are Democrats, 35% are Republicans, and 20% are independe
Kitty [74]

Answer:

P(R) = 0.14

P(I) = 0.16

P(D) = 0.315

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Democrat = D

Republican = R

Independent = I

If 45% are Democrats, 35% are Republicans, and 20% are independents, then

Total registered voters = 100

 In an election, 70% of the Democrats, 40% of the Republicans, and 80% of the independents voted in favor of a parks and recreation bond proposal. That is,

D = 0.7 × 45 = 31.5

R = 0.4 × 35 = 14

I = 0.8 × 20 = 16

 If a registered voter chosen at random is found to have voted in favor of the bond, what is the probability that the voter is

a Republican:

P(R) = 14 /100 = 0.14

an Independent

P(I) = 16/100 = 0.16

a Democrat

P(D) = 31.5/100 = 0.315
