Since 22% were not catalogs, 78% were catalogs. 36% of those were clothing:
.36 * .78 = .28 or 28%

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Twenty-two percent of the large pieces of mail that Rachel received this week were magazines and the rest were catalogs.

Of the catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing.

To Find: To the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog

Solution:

Magazines = 22%=0.22

we are given that Rest are catalogs

So, catalogs = 100%-22% = 78% = 0.78

Of the catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing.

Out of catalogs Clothing = 0.36

So, probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog = 0.36 \times 0.78=0.2808

To the nearest whole percent, the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog = 0.2808 \times 100=28.08\%

Hence  the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog to the nearest whole percent is 28%

Solve the quadratic equation by factoring: 15x^2+4x-4=0
joja [24]
We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).

15*-4 = -60

Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.

-6 and 10 will work.

Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.

(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)

Now factor both terms.

5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)

3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.

(3x+2)(5x-2)=0

Now just find the zeros.

3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3

And

5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5

So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x)=x+6 reflected across the x-axis.Which equation describes g?
Mandarinka [93]
Reflected across x axis means y turns to -y, meaning, multiply the whole function by -1

f(x) times -1=-1 times (x+6)=-x-6
