mel-nik [20]3 years ago

Answer:

The original price was 780.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the computer

The sales tax is x* .08

The total price is x + .08x = 1.08x

This is equal to 842.50

1.08x = 842.50

Divide each side by 1.08

1.08x/1.08=842.50/1.08

x =780.09

The original price was 780.09

Multiply and Divide Whole Numbers explain what to do and how to do it
rodikova [14]
Multiplication is a simple way of adding
For example 6x8 is the same as 8+8+8+8+8+8

Any number multiplied by 1 is itself E.g 4x1 = 4

Multiplying by 2 is just doubling

Multiplying by 10 is adding a 0 to the original number

If it is a big number that you do not know how to multiply mentally split it up
E.g 17x13
Split 13 into 10 and 3
17x10= 170
17x3= 51
Then add these numbers
221

If you ever get stuck, use the long method, add them instead, you will get to the right answer but it will take longer

Dividing is not as simple
Like multiplication dividing by one will leave you with the same answer

Dividing by two means you half the number, which may give you a decimal

Bigger numbers are trickier, and you may be allowed to use a calculator for numbers
Below are a number of links, these websites will teach you how to improve your multiplication and division skills:

Suppose a simple random sample of size nequals36 is obtained from a population with mu equals 74 and sigma equals 6. ​(a) Descri
OlgaM077 [116]

Part a)

The simple random sample of size n=36 is obtained from a population with

\mu = 74

and

\sigma = 6

The sampling distribution of the sample means has a mean that is equal to mean of the population the sample has been drawn from.

Therefore the sampling distribution has a mean of

\mu = 74

The standard error of the means becomes the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

\sigma_ { \bar X }  =  \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }  \\ \sigma_ { \bar X }  =  \frac{ 6}{ \sqrt{36} }  = 1

Part b) We want to find

P(\bar X \:>\:75.9)

We need to convert to z-score.

P(\bar X \:>\:75.9)  = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} )  \\  = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} ) \\  = P(z \:>\: 1.9) \\  = 0.0287

Part c)

We want to find

P(\bar X \: < \:71.95)

We convert to z-score and use the normal distribution table to find the corresponding area.

P(\bar X \: < \:71.95)  = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} )  \\  = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} ) \\  = P(z \: < \:  - 2.05) \\  = 0.0202

Part d)

We want to find :

P(73\:

We convert to z-scores and again use the standard normal distribution table.

P( \frac{73 - 74}{1} \:< \: z
