Each rectangular prism box costs the company $0.50, while each cylindrical container costs $0.75. You have to count how many boxes or cylindrical containers the company should buy and what is the total cost in each case.

1. 2,400 : 60 = 40 - the amount of rectangular prism boxes that can contain 2,400 pencils.

$0.50 · 40 = $20 - the total cost if packing in boxes.

2. 2,400 : 80 = 30 - the number of cylindrical containers that can contain 2,400 pencils.

$0.75 · 30 = $22.50 -  the total cost if packing in containers.

Therefore, $20 < $22.50 and the difference is $2.50.

Answer: choice A - The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $2.50 less than using the cylindrical containers.

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

54 has 4 ones

and 5 tens

37 has 7 ones

and 3 tens

subtracting ones

7 ones are taken from 54

so along with the existing 4, 1 ten is decreased and another 3 ones are decreased resulting in 7 ones now

now 54 has 5-1= 4 tens

subtracting tens we get 4-3=1

Therefore 1 ten and 7 ones

⇒ 17

Annette [7]

Answer:

4 bouquets

Step-by-step explanation:

5/5 = 20 flower bouquets.

Find out how much flower bouquets there are when it's 1/5.

5/5 = 20

1/5 = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Since tulips are 1/5 as 5/5 - 4/5 = 1/5, 4 bouquets are tulips.

Suppose the probability of an irs audit is 2.8 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earn 100,000 or more. What
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or 2.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let P(A) = Probability of irs auditing

P(A) = 2.8%

Let n = number of those who earn above 100,000

To get the odds that taxpayer would be audited, we need to first calculated the proportion of those that will be audited and those that won't.

If the probability is 2.8% then 2.8 out of 100 will be audited. That doesn't make a lot of sense since you can't have 2.8 people; we multiply the by 10/10

i.e.

Proportion, P = 2.8/100 * 10/10

P = 28/1000

The proportion of those that would not be audited is calculated as follows;

Q = 1000 - P

By substituton

Q = 1000 - 28

Q = 972

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or P/Q

P/Q = 28/972

= 0.0288065844

= 2.88% --- Approximately
