A family paid $26.400 as a down payment for a home. If this represents 16% of the price of the home, find the price of the home.

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is:

How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X
Y is 26,400, P% is 16%, so the equation is 26,400/16% = X
Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.
Converting 16% to a decimal: 16/100 = 0.16
Substitute 0.16 for 16% in the equation: 26,400/0.16 = X
Do the math: 26,400/0.16 = X
X = 165,000
So $ 165,000 is the price of the home.

I hope this helps you!!

he following data represent the times in minutes required for 18 co-workers to commute to work. 48 42 31 29 41 22 38 38 21 39 22

Answer:

1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 8, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data represent the times in minutes required for 18 co-workers to commute to work

48 42 31 29 41 22 38 38 21 39 22 48 22 12 34 32 23 28

Rewrite this data in ascending order

12 21 22 22 22 23 28 29 31 32 34 38 38 39 41 42 48 48

Now, the stem-and-leaf plot is

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Stem}&\text{Leaf}\\ \\1&2\\2&1,2,2,2,3,8,9\\3&1,2,4,8,8,9\\4&1,2,8,8\end{array}$

The second row represents the leaves for the given data points in the range 20 to 29 for this stem-and-leaf plot, so the answer is

1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 8, 9

Can someone help me solve this? Pls and ty!

Answer:

H. 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠BGC is 10° smaller than m∠CGD, which means that m∠BGC is x° - 10°

m∠DGE is 25° more than m∠EGF, which means that m∠DGE is x° + 25°

The sum of all angles in a placement like this will always equal 360°

So we put all the measures of all angles on one side of thee equation and set it equal to 360*

x° + x° - 10° + 2x° + 25° + 2x° + 3x° + 30° = 360°

After combining like terms we get 9x° + 45° = 360°

After some algebra we get x = 35°

Now at the start we said that m∠DGE is x + 25°

Plug in 35° for x and we get 35° + 25°

The final answer is m∠DGE = 95°

Edit: Sorry if my answer looks a bit confusing. This is actually my first answer on Brainly so I'm quite new to this experience.

Ari said there are three possible outcomes when you spin this spinner twice: two reds, a yellow and a red, or two yellows.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

From inspection of the diagram, we can see that the spinner is divided into <u>4 equal parts</u>, where 3 parts are red and 1 part is yellow.

$\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}$

Therefore,

$\implies \textsf{Probability of getting a red} = \sf \dfrac{3}{4}$

$\implies \textsf{Probability of getting a yellow} = \sf \dfrac{1}{4}$

<u>Multiplication Rule for Independent Events</u>

For independent events A and B:

$\sf P(A\:and\:B)=P(A) \times P(B)$

Therefore,

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf P(yellow\:and\:yellow) & = \sf P(yellow) \times P(yellow)\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{1}{16}\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Conclusion</u></h3>

Ari is incorrect. The spinner is divided into 4 parts, where only one part is yellow. Therefore, the probability of spinning a yellow is 1/4. As the events are independent, the Multiplication Rule should be used to calculate the probability of spinning 2 yellows. So the probability of spinning 2 yellows is 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16.
