Answer:

The sale price of the car is $48000.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the sale price of the car be = $x

ii) the premium is given as 16%

  therefore the premium of the car will be equal to = 16% of $x

  the premium of the car will be = $0.16x

iii) therefore total price of car in terms of sale price x  = $x + $0.16x

           therefore total price = $1.16x

iv) total price is given as $55,680

 

Therefore   $55,680 = $1.16x,    therefore $x = \dfrac{55,680}{1.16} = \$\hspace{0.15cm}48000.

Therefore the sale price of the car is $48000.

Answer:

Train A - 50 miles per hour

train B - 30 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of the train B, then the speed of the train A is (x+20) mph.

In 3 hours,

  • train A travels 3(x+20) miles
  • train B travels 3x miles

In total, they covered the distance of 240 miles, so

3(x+20)+3x=240\ \ \ \text{[Divide by 3]}\\ \\x+20+x=80\\ \\2x=80-20\\ \\2x=60\\ \\x=30\ mph\\ \\x+20=30+20=50\ mph

An online test of English spelling looked at how well people spelled difficult words. The bar graph to the right shows how many
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

60 ; 5220

Step-by-step explanation:

A) From the horizontal bar chart provided, it could be inferred that 85 people spell the word 'weird' correctly. The graph is scaled on a fixed interval of 10. Hence, the midpoint of 10 = 5

(80 + 5) = 85

B) In a group consisting of 8719 randomly selected people estimate how many more people can correctly spell weird than inoculate

From the graph :

85 per 100 could spell weird correctly while,

About 25 per 100 could spell inoculate correctly.

Difference In number per 100 people

(85 - 25) = 60 people per 100

We could round 8719 to the nearest 100 = 8700

Number of 100's in 8700 = 8700/100 = 87

(87 × 60) = 5,220 people

four distinct circles are drawn in a plane. what is the maximum number of points where at least two of the circles intersect?
kolezko [41]

90 points where at least two of the circles intersect.

<h3>Define circle.</h3>

A circle is a closed, two-dimensional object where every point in the plane is equally spaced from a central point. The line of reflection symmetry is formed by all lines that traverse the circle. Additionally, every angle has rotational symmetry around the centre.

Given,

Four distinct circles are drawn in a plane.

Start with two circles; they can only come together in two places. The third circle contacts each of the previous two circles in two spots each, bringing the total number of intersections up to four with the addition of a third circle. The total number of intersections will rise by another 6 when a fourth circle intersects the first three. And the list goes on.

As a result, we get a recognizable, regular pattern: for each additional circle, there are two more intersections overall than in the circle before it.

The total number of intersections can be expressed as the sum because the maximum number of intersections of 10 circles must occur when each circle contacts every other circle in 2 places each.

2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 = 90.

90 points where at least two of the circles intersect.
