Answer:

56.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have the following values

% Discount = 3%

Full allowed payment days = 30 days

Discount days = 10 days

1 year = 365 days

The formula for Effective Annual rate or Annual rate in effect =

Discount %/(1-Discount %) x (365 days/(Full allowed payment days - Discount days))

= 3%/(1 - 3%) × (365 days/30 days - 10 days)

= 0.03/(1 - 0.03) × (365/20)

= 0.03/0.97 × (365/20)

= 0.5644329897

Converting to percentage

0.5644329897 × 100

= 56.44329897%

Approximately = 56.44%

Therefore, the annual rate Heidi, in effect, is paying the supplier if she fails to pay the invoice at the end of the discount period is 56.44%

John bought 3 pineapples and 2 watermelons for $8.50. Sue bought 2 pineapples and 4 watermelons for $13.00. Write and show a sys

AleksAgata [21]

As per your question, total cost of watermelon should end with either 5(for odd quantity) or 0(for even quantity).

If the quantity of watermelon is odd, then the total cost value of pineapple should end with 3 and this is not possible when the cost of pineapple is ₹7.

So let's come to conclusion that the count(quantity) of watermelon should be any one of 0, 2, 4, 6.

If count of watermelon is 6: It will cost ₹30 and for remaining ₹8, we can buy 1 pineapple but still ₹1 will not be utilised. So 1 pineapple is not possible

If count of watermelon is 4: It will cost ₹20 and for remaining ₹18, we can buy 2 pineapple with ₹4 not being utilised. So 2 pineapple is also not possible.

If count of watermelon is 2: It will cost ₹10 and for remaining ₹28, we can buy 4 pineapple with all amount being utilised. We can buy 4 pineapple along with with 2 watermelon for ₹38.

If count of watermelon is 0: It will cost you ₹0 and for remaining ₹38, we can buy 5 pineapple with ₹3 being not utilised. So 5 pineapple is also not possible.

So the answer is 4 pineapple.

Paul needs 3 7/8 yards of fabric to make a tablecloth. How many tableclothes can he make from 38 3/4 yard of fabric

Leviafan [203]

First turn them into improper fractions to make things easier: 31/8 and 155/4.
You would then do 155/4 divided by 31/8, and with the same-change-flip, do 155/4 times 8/31, which is 10

How many different 5-person subcommittees can be formed from a club having 12 members

Wittaler [7]

Given that there are 12 persons, the first choice may be in 12 different ways, the second choice may be in 11 different ways, ther third in 10 different ways, the fourth in 9 different ways and the fith in 8 different ways, for a total of:

12x11x10x9x8 different combinations.

Now you have to take in account that 5x4x3x2 are repetitions. So you have to divide the previos counting by 5x4x3x2.

(12x11x10x9x8)/(5x4x3x2) = 792 different subcommittees.

Also, you can use the formula for combinations: C(m,n) = m! / (n! (m-n)!)

C (12, 5) = 12! / (5!) (12-5)! = [12x11x10x9x8x7!] / [5! 7!] = [12x11x10x9x8]/[5x4x3x2] = 792

what is the smallest of three consecutive integers i the sum of the smaller two integers is two more than seven times the larges

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The numbers that meet these conditions are -3, -2 and -1.

This means that the wording of the question is somewhat ambiguous:

The <em>lowest</em> of the three numbers is -3.

The <em>smallest</em> however is -1.

You may need clarification on which of those is being asked for.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call those numbers a, b and c, with a the smallest and c the largest. We're told two key things here:

1) The sum of the smaller two integers is two more than seven times the largest integer. In other words a + b = 7c + 2

2) We're looking for three consecutive integers, which means that we can define them with a single variable. If the smallest one is a, then the others are a + 1 and a + 2.

We can take those and put them together, giving us the equation:

a + (a + 1) = 7(a + 2) + 2

Which we can then solve for a:

a + (a + 1) = 7(a + 2) + 2

2a + 1 = 7a + 14 + 2

2a - 7a = 14 + 2 - 1

-5a = 15

a = -3

Since a is -3 and also the smallest, we can then say that the numbers are -3, -2 and -1.
