Answer:

The rate of markdown it would have to offer is 27.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of sofa was, OP = $880.

The new price of sofa is, NP = $640

The change in price is:

Change=OP-NP\\=880-640\\=240

The rate of markdown offered by the shopkeeper is:

Rate\ of\ markdown=\frac{Change\ in\ Price}{Orignal\ Price}\times100 \\=\frac{240}{880}\times100\\ =0.27273\times100\\\approx27.3\%

Thus, the rate of markdown offered by the shopkeeper is 27.3%.

The temperature at 6.00 am was - 12 the temperature increased by 1/2 each hour for 6 hours what was the temperature in degrees F
Illusion [34]

Answer: -9 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Temperature at 6:00 AM = -12 degrees Fahrenheit

Temperature increased each hour = \dfrac12 degrees Fahrenheit

Temperature increase in 6 hours = 6\times\dfrac12=3\text{ degrees Fahrenheit}

Temperature at noon = Temperature at 6:00 AM+Temperature increase in 6 hours

= -12+3 degrees Fahrenheit

= -9 degrees Fahrenheit

Hence, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at noon= -9 degrees Fahrenheit

Professor York randomly surveyed 240 students at Oxnard University and found that 150 of the students surveyed watch more than 1
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

1727 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the formula for sample size given as

n = \frac{p(1-p)z^2}{ME^2}

Where:

p = Mean

ME = Margin of error = 3

z = z score

Therefore, we have

p = 150/240 = 0.625

z  at 99 % = 2.575

ME = \pm3%

Therefore n = \frac{0.625(1-0.625)2.575^2}{0.03^2} = 1726.73

The number of students Professor York have to sample to estimate the proportion of all Oxnard University students who watch more than 10 hours of television each week within ±3 percent with 99 percent confidence = 1727 students.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

For this, first you must multiply the exponent, which in this case is 1.06^15,

and this gives you 2.39655819.

You then multiply 2.39655819 by 200000.

y = 479311.638
