Let
x--------> the degree of difficulty of the dive
we know that
1) The highest and the lowest scores are dropped
so
highest scores=
lowest scores=
the remaining scores=
2) Find the total of the remaining scores
3) The total of the remaining scores is multiplied by the degree of difficulty of the dive
so
4) This product is multiplied by .6 to determine the final score
therefore
the answer is
the degree of difficulty of the dive is
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
If the mystery number rounds to 700, then it has 3 digits before decimal points and two digits after decimal point.
Hence, the mystery number is
The digit in the tenth place is double the digit in the tens place, so
If b = 1, then d = 2
If b = 2, then d = 4
If b = 3, then d = 6
If b = 4, then d = 8
The difference between the digit in the hundreds place and the ones place is 3, so
The first digit can be only 7, because b < 5 and the number rounds to 700. So
If a = 7, then c = 4
All possible answers:
714.2e
724.4e
734.6e
744.8e,
where e is an arbitrary digit from 0 to 9.
There are 40 possible numbers which match the situation.
