Answer: the group rented 11 Person tubes and 4 cooler tubes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of tubes, Person tube and cooler tube.

Let P represent number of Person tubes that the group rented.

Let C represent number of Cooler tubes that the group rented.

The group spends $270 to rent a total of 15 tubes and Person tube $20 Cooler tube $12.50. Two linear equations can be derived from the above information

P + C = 15 - - - - - - - 1

20P + 12.5C = 270 - - - -- - - 2

Substituting P = 15 - C into equation 2,

It becomes

20(15-C) + 12.5C = 270

300 - 20C + 12.5C = 270

- 20C + 12.5C = 270 -300

7.5C = - 30

C = 30/7.5 = 4

P = 15 - C

P = 15 - 4 = 11

qaws [65]

Answer: The probability of a randomly chosen customer to be a woman who spends at least $250 is 0.18 or 18%

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of the customers are women, and 30% of the women spend at least $250.

We want to find the probability for a randomly selected customer to be a woman that spends at least $250

first, the probability of a random customer to be a woman is 60% or 0.6 in decimal form.

And 30% of those 60% spend at least $250, so the probability the product of those two, this is:

P = 0.6*0.3 = 0.18

So the probability of a randomly chosen customer to be a woman who spends at least $250 is 0.18 or 18%

Answer:

Value = 500000 × (1.1^n)

$1,296,871

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 500000

r = 550000 ÷ 500000 = 1.1

1st term is the initial year:

n years after that is the "n+1"th term

Value = 500000 × (1.1^n)

n = 10

500000(1.1¹⁰)
