Answer:

  The interest rate = 6 %

Explanation:

We have  I = prt, where I represents simple interest, p represents principal, r represents interest rate, and t represents time in years.

 Here principal, p = 200 $

          Number of years , t = 3

        Interest received, I = 36$

       We need to find rate of interest.

Substituting

       36 = 200 x r x 3

      r = \frac{36}{200*3}= 0.06 = 6%

  The interest rate = 6 %

A jeweler wants to make 14 grams of an alloy that is precisely 75% gold.. The jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, &a
Goryan [66]

Given that the jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, and 82% gold.

As he wants to make 14 grams of an alloy by adding two different alloys that is precisely 75% gold, so one alloy must have a percentage of gold more than 75%.

One alloy is 82% gold and, the second can be chosen between 25% gold, 50% gold, so there are two cases.

Case 1: 82% gold + 50% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y  grams of 50% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 50% of y

\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times y \\\\

\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times (14-x)  [as x+y=14]

\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times (14-x)  \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times14-50\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 32 \times x + 50 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 32 \times x =75 \times 14 - 50 \times14 \\\\

\Rightarrow x =(25 \times 14)/32=10.9375 grams

and y = 14-x= 14-10.9375=3.0625 grams.

Hence, 10.9375 grams of 82% gold and 3.0625  grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

Case 2: 82% gold + 25% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y  grams of 25% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 25% of y

\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times y \\\\\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times (14-x) \\\\ \Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times (14-x)  \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times14-25\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 57 \times x + 25 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 57 \times x =75 \times 14 - 25 \times14 \\\\

\Rightarrow x =(50 \times 14)/57=12.28 grams

and y = 14-x= 14-12.28=1.72 grams.

Hence, 12.28 grams of 82% gold and 1.72  grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

The Ohio Department of Agriculture tested 203 fuel samples across the state in 1999 for accuracy of the reported octane level. F
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The Sample size is 1918.89035

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that 14 out of 105 samples failed.

Therefore p = 14/105 = 0.13 3... and q=1-0.133=0.867

Samples would be needed to create a 99 percent confidence interval.

Subtract the confidence level from 1, then divide by two.

\frac{(1 -0.99)}{2}=0.005

By standard normal table z=2.5758≈2.58

Calculate the sample size as:

n=\frac{z^2pq}{e^2}

Where,  e is the margin of error,

Substitute the respective values.

n=\frac{(2.58)^2(0.133)(0.867)}{(0.02)^2}=1918.89

Hence, the Sample size is 1918.89035

Solving for an Unknown Using the Distributive Property
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>

The equation a= 180(n-2)/n represents the angle measures, a, in a regular n-sided polygon. When the equation is solved for n, n is equal to a fraction with a denominator of a – 180. What is the numerator of the fraction?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The numerator of fraction is -360

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

<em><u>The equation represents the angle measures, a, in a regular n-sided polygon is:</u></em>

a = \frac{180(n - 2)}{n}

We have to solve the equation for "n"

Rearrange the equation

a \times n = 180(n - 2)\\\\a \times n = 180n - 360\\\\an - 180 n = -360\\\\Take\ n\ as\ common\ factor\\\\n(a-180) = -360\\\\n = \frac{-360}{a - 180}

Thus the numerator of the fraction is -360
