The sum of three consecutive integers is 267. What is the largest integer?

1 answer:

7 0

Let the integers be x + (x+1) + (x + 2)

x + (x+1) + (x + 2) = 267 

3x + 3 = 267 
3x = 264 
x = 88 

88+89+90=267 

Largest integer=90 

Another method 

267/3 = 89 

It's the average,so it has to be the middle one. 

Thus 89, then I took 89 - 1 = 88 and 89 + 1 = 90 and just put them in order. 

88+89+90=267 

Largest integer=90

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7 4/11 + 2 6/11 = 9 10/11

2. 5 1/12 + 6 3/12 = 11 4/12 = 11 1/3

3. 8 4/15 + 3 2/15 = 11 6/15 = 11 2/5

4. 6 1/9 + 2 3/9 = 6 4/9

Answer:

Discount is $2.70

After-discount price is $15.30

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the after-discount price, multiply $18 by (1.00 - 0.15), or, in other words, multiply $18 by 0.85. The after-discount price is $15.30.

Two ways to find the discount: one is to multiply $18 by 0.15; the other way is to subtract $15.30 from $18.

When finding the margin of error for the mean of a normally distributed population from a sample, what is the critical probabili

svlad2 [7]

Critical probability is the essentially cut-off value. The critical probability when the confidence level of 58% is 0.79.

<h3>What is the critical probability?</h3>

Critical probability is the essentially cut-off value that defines the region where the test statistic is unlikely to lie.

As it is given that the confidence level is 58%. therefore, in order to calculate the critical probability, we need to calculate the margin of error within a set of data, and it is given by the formula

$\rm Critical\ Probability, (P*) = 1-\dfrac{\alpha }{2}$
