Answer:

$47, 17.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

When she buys the $20 book, she can get 40% off either the $15, $12, or $10 book.  She'll save the most by getting 40% off the $15 book.

Then, when she buys the $12 book, she'll get %40 off the $10 book.

The total she pays is:

20 + (0.60)(15) + 12 + (0.60)(10)

20 + 9 + 12 + 6

47

Without the discounts, the cost of the books would have been:

20 + 15 + 12 + 10

57

So she saves $10.  10 out of 57 is approximately 17.5%.

Answer:

a. P(X=50)= 0.36

b. P(X≤75) =  0.9

c. P(X>50)=  0.48

d. P(X<100) = 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is

x                      25        50       75        100          Total

P(x)                0.16       0.36    0.38    0.10          1.00

Where X is the variable and P(X) = probabililty of that variable.

From the above

a. P(X=50)= 0.36

We add the probabilities of the variable below and equal to 75

b. P(X≤75) = 0.16+ 0.36+ 0.38= 0.9

We find the probability of the variable greater than 50 and add it.

c. P(X>50)= 0.38+0.10=  0.48

It can be calculated in two ways. One is to subtract the probability of 100 from total probability of 1. And the other is to add the probabilities of all the variables less than 100 . Both would give the same answer.

d. P(X<100)= 1- P(X=100)= 1-0.1= 0.9

Lena [83]

Answer:

y=6x

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula you use is y=mx+b you get 4x-3y=21 you add 3 to 3y and 21 then you cancel out the 3's 4x goes down and then you add 21+3 which equals 24 then you divide it all by 4 except y, you drop the y down and you should get y=6x

Hope you get it right

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

(x + 4)(x - 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

a²-4a-32

We need 2 numbers whose product is -32 and whose sum is -4.

They are +4 and -8, so the factors are:

(x + 4)(x - 8).
