Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

60 % wear neither ring nor a necklace

20 % wear a ring

30 % wear necklace

This question can be Solved by using Venn diagram

If one person is choosen randomly  among the given student the probability that this student is wearing a ring or necklace is

P\left ( wear \ ring\ or \ necklace )+P\left ( neither\ ring\ or\ necklace)=1

P\left ( wear \ ring\ or\ necklace )=1-0.6=0.4

The sum of probabilty is equal to 1 because it completes the set

Therefore the required probabilty is 0.4

Joan makes a base salary of $275 per week and a commission of 4% of sales over $1000. If she sells $1250 of merchandise this wee
Lerok [7]

Joan makes $275/week.

In addition to $275, she also makes 4 percent on sales over $1000.

So, 1250 - 1000 = 250.

Then 250(0.04) = 10.

Let t = amount of her paycheck for the week.

t = $275 + $10

t = $285

How would i solve this problem using log base 10
Archy [21]

First isolate the power of 10 on the right side by dividing both sides by 5:

100=5\cdot10^{0.3t}\implies20=10^{0.3t}

Now you're free to take the logarithm and simplify where you can:

\log_{10}20=\log_{10}10^{0.3t}=0.3t\log_{10}10=0.3t

Then solve for t:

t=\dfrac{\log_{10}20}{0.3}\approx4.34
