Answer:

In the library there are in total 800 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of non fiction books  = 3 for every 7 fiction books.

⇒Ratio of Non Fiction :  Fiction books  = 3   : 7

Now, The total Non fiction books in library  = 240

Let the total number of fiction books in the library = m

⇒Ratio of Non Fiction :  Fiction books  in Library  = 240   : m

Now, By THE RATIO OF PROPORTIONALITY:

\frac{3}{7}   = \frac{240}{m}

or, m= \frac{240 \times 7}{3}  = 560

⇒ m = 560

or, the number of fiction books in library = 560

So,the total number of books in library

=  Fiction books  +  Non - fiction books

 = 560 + 240 = 800

Hence, in the library there are in total 800 books.

Carlita will visit 14 cities
Tanya [424]

Answer:

$52091.95

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The number of  cities visited = 14

Cost of each cooking demonstration = $3450

The total cost of cooking demonstration = $3450 × 14

= $48300

Book signing material = $1475

∴

The total cost of cooking demonstration and book material is:

= $48300 + $1475 = $49775 ---- (i)

Total meter traveled in visiting 14 cities = 240 * 13 = 3120 miles

However; suppose the weekly rental fee fine = $x  &

the change per mile = $y

Then

y*540 + x = 1188.15    --- (ii)

y*880 + x = 1310.55   --- (iii)

From equation (ii) and (iii)

y *340 = 122.4

y = 122.4/340

y = 0.36

From (ii)

y × 540 + x = 1188.15

(0.36)540 + x = 1188.15

x = 1188.15 - (0.36)540

x = 993.75

Hence, the total cost of travelling by RV camper = $1993.75 + 3120 × (0.36)

= $2116.95

Thus, the total amount the publisher should budget = $49975.0 + $2116.95

= $52091.95

A plumber's daily earnings have a mean of $145 per day with a standard deviation of $16.50.
avanturin [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The plumber's daily earnings have a mean of $145 per day with a standard deviation of

$16.50.

We want to find the probability that the plumber earns between $135 and

$175 on a given day, if the daily earnings follow a normal distribution.

That is we want to find P(135 <X<175).

Let us convert to z-scores using

z =  \frac{x -  \mu}{ \sigma}

This means that:

P(135  \: <  \: X  \: <  \: 175) = P( \frac{135 - 145}{16.5}  \: <  \:  z \:  <  \frac{175 - 145}{ 16.5} )

We simplify to get:

P(135  \: <  \: X  \: <  \: 175) = P(  - 0.61\: <  \:  z \:  <  1.82 )

From the standard n normal distribution table,

P(z<1.82)=0.9656

P(z<-0.61)=0.2709

To find the area between the two z-scores, we subtract to obtain:

P(-0.61<z<1.82)=0.9656-0.2709=0.6947

This means that:

P(135  \: <  \: X  \: <  \: 175) =0.69

The correct choice is C.
