Answer:

A = 76.85

B =65.28

Step-by-step explanation:

(30/100)A = 10 + (20/100)B

0.3A - 0.2B = 10 ...... equation (i)

(30/100)B + 35 = (20/100)A

0.2A - 0.3B = 35 ........ equation (ii)

From equation (i)

0.3A = 10 - 0.2B

A = (10 - 0.2b) / 0.3

A = 33.33 - 0.67B ........equation (iii)

Put equation (iii) into equation (ii)

0.2(33.33 - 0.67B) - 0.3B = 35

6.67 - 0.134B - 0.3B = 35

0.434B = 35 - 6.67

B = 28.33 / 0.434

B = 65. 275 = 65.28

Put B = 65.28 into equation (i)

0.3A - 0.2B = 10

0.3A - 0.2(65.28) = 10

0.3A - 13.056 = 10

0.3A = 10 + 13.056

A = 23.056/ 0.3

A = 76.85

The average cost of an IRS Form 1040 tax filing at Thetis Tax Service is $138.00. Assuming a normal distribution, if 77 percent
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

22.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the average cost of an IRS Form 1040 tax filing at Thetis Tax Service is $138.00.

Let x be the average cost an IRS Form 1040 tax filing at Thetis Tax Service

P(X is given

From std normal distribution table we find 77th percentile z value.

z=0.74

Corresponding X value = 155

i.e. 0.74=\frac{155-138}{s} where s is the std deviation

Simplify to get

Std deviation  = \frac{17}{0.74} \\=22.97

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below
frutty [35]

Answer:

sqrt(104) =x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is the right triangle.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

2^2 + 10^2 = x^2

4+100 = x^2

104 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(104) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(104) =x
