Answer:

The man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that in the game:

Number of times  man wins the games = x times

Number of times  man loses the games = y times

Total number of attempts = 20

Points after winning = 5

Points after loosing = 2

Now, according to the question:

       x  + y =20

and 5 x + 2 y = 67

Now, from (1) y = 20-x,     put in (2)

5x + 2y = 67       ⇒           5x + 2(20 -x)  = 67

or, 5x -2x = 67 - 40

or, 3x = 27

⇒ x = 27/3 = 9

then y = 20 - x = 20 - 9 = 11

⇒ x = 9 and y = 11 is the solution of the given system.

Hence, the man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Use the formula for interest P=750 r=7% Y=25 A=?
Over [174]

Answer:

2062.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = (Principle x rate x time)/100

Amount = Principle + interest

Principle = 750

Rate = 7%

Time = 25 years

(750 x 7 x 25)/100

= 131250/100

=1312.50

Principle = 750

Interest = 1312.50

Amount = 750 + 1312.50

Amount = 2062.50
