Answer:

Option A - Permutation; number of ways = 210

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : At a competition with 7 runners, medals are awarded for first, second, and  third places. Each of the 3 medals is different.

To find : How many ways are there to  award the medals?        

Solution :

There are 7 runners but medals are three.

The first runner up got first medal as one is locked.

The second runner up got second medal as second is locked.

The third runner up got the third medal.

So, There is a permutation.

Number of ways to award the medals is ^7P_3

We know, ^nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Substitute the values,

^7P_3=\frac{7!}{(7-3)!}

^7P_3=\frac{7\times 6\times 5\times 4!}{4!}

^7P_3=210

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Permutation; number of ways = 210

8 Leandra's fastest time for the 400 m is 70 seconds. In his next race he improves by
disa [49]

8) a) The new fastest time is 56.7 seconds, b) The <em>overall percentage</em> improvement is 19 %.

9) The height after the first increase is 1.375 meters and after the second increase is 1.54 meters.

<h3>How to apply percentages in real life applications</h3>

In this problem we have two examples from real life, in which percentages are used. The first is the distance traveled by a runner in a given time and the second is the growth of a person in time. Change in variables based on percentages are described by the following formula:

C' = C · (1 + r / 100)     (1)

Where:

  • C - Initial value
  • C' - Final value
  • r - Percentage of change.

Now we proceed to resolve on each case. 8) a) Please notice that the runner must cover the trail in less time and percentage time must be negative. If we know that C = 70 and r = - 10, then his new fastest time is:

C' = 70 · (1 - 10 / 100)

C' = 70 · 0.90

C' = 63

And again: (C' = 63, r = - 10)

C'' = 63 · (1 - 10 / 100)

C'' = 63 · 0.90

C'' = 56.7

The new fastest time is 56.7 seconds.

b) And the overall percentage improvement is:

r = (|C'' - C| / C) × 100 %

r = (|56.7 - 70| / 70) × 100 %

r = 19 %

The <em>overall percentage</em> improvement is 19 %.

9) If we know that C = 1.25 and r = 10, then the height next year is:

C' = 1.25 · (1 + 10 / 100)

C' = 1.375

And again: (C' = 1.375, r = 12)

C'' = 1.375 · (1 + 12 / 100)

C'' = 1.54

The height after the first increase is 1.375 meters and after the second increase is 1.54 meters.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

After one unit is sold, Becky will break-even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $1

Unitary variable cost= $21

Selling price= $22

<u>The break-even point is the number of units required to cover the fixed costs after deducting from the selling price the variable components. At this point, net income is zero</u>.

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 1 / (22 - 21)

Break-even point in units= 1

After one unit is sold, Becky will break-even.
