The equation is part/whole = percent/100. Percent is unknown so it will be a variable, and it was marked down by 7 dollars so subtract : 25-7=18 now let's see our equation : 18/25 = x/100 Now solve : make sure 18/25 is simplified. (It all ready is) Now trade off : 18•100=25•x=1,800=25x (Divide by 25 on both sides and get) : 72=x. It was 72% off. Hoped I helped!

Missing pattern 24,21, blank 15 blank ,blank
never [62]
To figure out this pattern, let's see if there's a constant rule that this sequence follows.
From 24 to 21, you're subtracting 3.
Let's try n-3, and fill in the blanks as we go.
24 - 3 = 21.
21 - 3 = 18.
18 - 3 = 15.
15 - 3 = 12.
12 - 3 = 9.
It seems that n-3 works as a rule, so your rule is:
N-3.
The missing blanks are:
18, 12, and 9.
I hope this helps!

A fair coin is flipped twelve times. What is the probability of the coin landing tails up exactly nine times?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fair coin is flipped twelve times.

It means the number of possible sequences of heads and tails would be:

2¹² = 4096

We can determine the number of ways that such a sequence could contain exactly 9 tails is the number of ways of choosing 9 out of 12, using the formula

nCr=\frac{n!}{r!\left(n-r\right)!}

Plug in n = 12 and r = 9

       =\frac{12!}{9!\left(12-9\right)!}

       =\frac{12!}{9!\cdot \:3!}

       =\frac{12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10}{3!}            ∵ \frac{12!}{9!}=12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10

       =\frac{1320}{6}                   ∵ 3!\:=\:3\times 2\times 1=6

       =220

Thus, the probability will be:

P\left(E\right)=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}

         =\frac{220}{4096}

         =\frac{55}{1024}

Thus, the probability of the coin landing tails up exactly nine times will be:

P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}

Kim took out a $55,000 loan for college. She is borrowing money from two banks. Bank A charges an interest rate of 8%, and Bank
stellarik [79]
Kim's Loan:
Let A =  amount borrowed from bank A.
Let B =  amount borrowed from bank B.

The total loan is $55,000.
Therefore
A + B = 55000                  (1)

Bank A charges 8% interest. The interest after 1 year is 0.08A.
Bank B charges 11% interest. The interest after 1 year is 0.11B.
Total interest after 1 year is $5,000.
Therefore
0.08A + 0.11B = 5000      (2)

From (1), obtain
B = 55000 - A                  (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
0.08A + 0.11(55000 - A) = 5000
0.08A + 6050 - 0.11A = 5000
-0.03A = -1050
A = -1050/-0.03 = 35000

Answer:  Kim borrowed $35,000 from bank A.

Jack's Loan.
A = loan from bank A.
B = loan from bank B.
The total loan is $10,000.
Therefore
A + B = 10000                  (4)

Bank A charges 5% interest and bank B charges 6% interest.
Total interest after 1 year is $530, therefore
0.05A + 0.06B = 530       (5)

From (4), obtain
B = 10000 - A                       (6)

Substitute (6) into (5).
0.05A + 0.06(10000 - A) = 530
0.05A + 600 - 0.06A = 530
-0.01A = -70
A = -70/-0.01 = 7000

Answer: Jack borrowed $7,000 from bank A.
