How far above ground is the flag pole in inches? Round to nearest inch if needed

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll use similar triangles to solve this. Set up 2 ratios as a proportion. First, however, you have to convert the 15 inches to feet. If everything else is in feet, then EVERYTHING has to be in feet. 15 inches is equal to 1.25 feet. Now for the equation:

$\frac{3}{x} =\frac{1.25}{6}$

The first fraction is made up of the heights, 3 being the height of the plumb bob and x being our unknown height of the flagpole; the second fraction is made up of the distances on the ground. Cross multiply to solve:

1.25x = 18 so

x = 14.4 feet, or 14 feet, 4.8 inches

Bobby bought two shares of stock, which he sold for $96 each. If he had a profit of 20 percent on the sale of one of the shares

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The correct option is c) a loss of $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

If the selling price of two item is same and one item sold at a profit of x % and other at a loss of x % in that case total sale result loss:

To calculate the loss use the formula: $Loss\ \%=(\frac{x}{10})^2\ \%$

It is given that he had a profit of 20 percent on the sale of one of the shares but a loss of 20 percent on the sale of the other share, where the selling price is $96 each.

That means the total sale result will be a loss.

Now use the above formula by substitute x=20.

$Loss\ \%=(\frac{20}{10})^2\ \%\\\\Loss\ \%=4\ \%$

It is given that the sales price is $96 of each that means total sales price is:

$96+$96=$192

Let the cost price of the shares were x.

According to question: x-4% of x = 192

$x-\frac{4}{100}\times x = 192\\\\x-0.04x = 192\\\\0.96x = 192\\x = 200$

Hence, the cost price of the shares was 200.

Loss = Cost price -Sales price

Loss = $200 - $192

Loss = $8

Hence, the correct option is c) a loss of $8.

A person draws a card from a hat. Each card is one color, with the following probabilities of being drawn: 1/25 for red, 1/20 fo

VARVARA [1.3K]

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring. The probability of pulling a green or red card is 9 / 100.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

P = $\dfrac{Desired \ outcomes}{Posiible \ outcomes}$

The probabilities of different color cards being pulled are 1/25 for red, 1/20 for green, 1/15 for purple, and 1/10 for black Therefore, the probability of pulling a green or red card is,

Probability = 1/20 + 1/25

= (5 + 4) /100

= 9 / 100

Hence, the probability of pulling a green or red card is 9 / 100.
