Answer:

  $43.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The price with tax is 100% + 8% = 1.08 times the price before tax. The discount multplies that price by 100% -20% = 0.80. The discount multiplier is the same whether the discount is applied before or after the tax.

The combined effect of the two multipliers is ...

... 1.08 × 0.80 = 0.864

so the discounted price with tax added is 0.864 × $50 = $43.20

_____

Perhaps you're supposed to figure the tax (8% of $50 = $4), add the tax ($50 +4 = $54), then subtract the discount (20% of $54 = $10.80) to get

  $54.00 -10.80 = $43.20

What is the value of |−44|?
julsineya [31]
Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is "44" .

Reason:

Think of it like this:

| | <---- This represents a car wash

When you add a positive or negative number in between the lines it represents a car going through the car wash.

So if...

|-44| (goes through the car wash)=44
|44| (goes through the care wash)=44

Therefore it would equal 44.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

d. We are 95% confident that the proportion of adults (ages 17-26) who attended college is between 53% and 59%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval of a proportion p.

We build a confidence interval at the x% level from a sample.

With this, we can say that we are x% sure that the true population propotion is in the interval.

The 95% confidence interval is (0.53, 0.59).

This means that we are 95% sure that the true population proportion is between 0.53 and 0.59.

So the correct answer is:

d. We are 95% confident that the proportion of adults (ages 17-26) who attended college is between 53% and 59%.
