After 12% the cost of a new cooler is £190.40 work out the original price

2 answers:

5 0

So, say the original price is "x" pounds, namely the 100%, then it gets increased by 12% and lands on £190.40, so £190.40 is really 100% + 12% or the 112% then.

since we know that £190.40 is 112%, what is "x"?

 $\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
190.40&112\\
x&100
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{190.40}{x}=\cfrac{112}{100}\implies \cfrac{190.40\cdot 100}{112}=x$

Identify the ordered pair on the graph of the equation 2x + 5y = 4.

Colt1911 [192]

What you would do is you would substitute each ordered pair into their respective variables. (ie. for (0,1) you would put 0 where the x is and 1 where the y is) You would then solve the equation. If the equation is not even (ie. 2=5 would not be even but 4=4 would be), you move on to the next ordered pair.

If you follow the process right and you get the equations correct, the answer should be B. (7,-2)

g If the economy improves, a certain stock stock will have a return of 23.4 percent. If the economy declines, the stock will hav

dusya [7]

Answer:

$E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%$

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2$

And replacing we got:

$Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105$

And finally the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable of interest X as the return from a stock and we know the following conditions:

$X_1 = 23.4 , P(X_1) =0.67$ represent the result if the economy improves

$X_2 = -11.9 , P(X_1) =0.33$ represent the result if we have a recession

We want to find the standard deviation for the returns on the stock. We need to begin finding the mean with this formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And replacing the data given we got:

$E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%$

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2$

And replacing we got:

$Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105$

And finally the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%$

In triangle ABC, A is a right angle and M B=45°. Find BC. If you answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.

Nataly_w [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

- In a right triangle, if ∠B is 45°, then ∠C is too.

-- Since ∠B and ∠C are equal, the sides opposite them

are equal too. This is an isosceles right triangle. Its legs

are equal.

-- (The hypotenuse)² = (one leg)² + (the other leg)²

= (12-ft)² + (12-ft)²

= (144 x 2)

The hypotenuse = √(144 x 2) = 12√2 .

The volume (in cubic meters), v, of a rectangular room is given by the expression:

yan [13]

Answer:

7(b^2 -2)(b^2 +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring the common factor 7 from both terms, you get the difference of squares. That can also be factored.

v = 7(b^4 -4) = 7(b^2 -2)(b^2 +2)

The difference b^2-2 will have irrational factors, so does not meet the problem requirements. This is the factorization over integers.

The events are independent because they are not affected by the other coin toss. Hope this helps^-^
