1 answer:

5 0

You can try this way:
x - last year´s salary, raise: 4% = 0.04 ( 100%+4% = 104% = 1.04 )
x · 1.04 = 44,200
x = 44,200 : 1.04
x = 42,500
Last year´s salary was $42,500.

Answer:

Kevin's weekly sales will have to be worth more than $4000 in order for Dollar Deal to pay more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dollar Deal offers $8/h plus 10% commission.

If he spends x hours, then offer after x hours and s amount from sales is;

8x + 10%s

This can be rewritten as; 8x + 0.1s

Now, Great Discounts offers $18/h with no commission.

Thus after 8 hours for 5 days, total number of hours = 40 hours.

Thus, great discounts offer = 18 × 40 = $720

Now, dollar deal will offer; 8(40) + 0.1s = 320 + 0.1s

Thus, for dollar deal to pay more weekly, then;

320 + 0.1s > 720

0.1s > 720 - 320

0.1s > 400

s > 400/0.1

s > 4000

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α) % confidence interval for difference between two means is:

$CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2,(n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\times SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}$

Given:

$\bar x_{1}=M_{1}=6.1\\\bar x_{2}=M_{2}=4.9\\SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}=0.25$

Confidence level = 80%

$t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}=t_{0.20/2, (5+5-2)}=t_{0.10,8}=1.397$

*Use a t-table for the critical value.

Compute the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means as follows:

$CI=(6.1-4.9)\pm 1.397\times 0.25\\=1.2\pm 0.34925\\=(0.85075, 1.54925)\\\approx(0.85, 1.55)$

Thus, the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

An ice cube is made of 5 fluid ounces of water. About how many milliliters of water does it take to make an ice cube

Sergio [31]

ANSWER:

147.868 mL of water is required to make an ice cube.

SOLUTION:

Given that, an ice cube is made up of 5 fluid ounces of water.

We need to find how many milli liters of water does it require to make an ice cube.

For, that we have to convert 5 fluid ounces in to units of milli liters.

We know that, 1 US fluid ounce equals to 29.5735 milli liters. i.e. 1 US fluid ounce = 29.5735 mL

Now,

An ice cube is made by 5 fluid ounces = 5 x 1 fluid ounce

= 5 x 29.5735 mL = 147.868 mL

Hence, 147.868 mL of water is required to make an ice cube.
