Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price - discount = sales price

discount = original price * percent off

Substituting this in

Original price - original price * percent off = sales price

Factor out the original price

Original price (1-percent off) = sales price

We know the sales price = 36

and we know the percent off = 10 percent = .1

Substituting in

Original price (1-.1) = 36

Original price (.9) = 36

Divide both sides by .9

Original price *.9/.9 = 36/.9

Original price = 40

Following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

In this question, we assume that "x" denotes as an actual time of the battery charging, that is a uniform random variable that $x \sim U(90, 120)$

In point a:

so, pdf of x =

$\to f(x)= \frac{1}{120-90} = \frac{1}{30} \\\\\to 90 < x$

In point b:

To find

$\to P(x$

In point c:

$\to P(x$

In point d:

$\to P(95< x< 110)$

$= \int^{110}_{95} \frac{1}{30} \ dx\\\\= \frac{110-95}{30} \\\\= \frac{15}{30} \\\\= \frac{1}{2}$

1. Find the area of the shaded area of this figure:

statuscvo [17]

(area of square) - (area of triangle)

We know the are of a square is equal to s^2, where s is the side length.

While the are of a right angle tringle is 1/2*base*height

Then we have,

s = 10
base = 4
height = 4

(area of square) - (area of triangle)

=> (10^2) - (1/2)(4)(4)
=> 100 - 8
=> 92

Finally we get: 92 in^2

you use 4 gallons of water on 30 plants in your garden. At the rate,how much water will it take to water 45 plants

astra-53 [7]

Answer:4 gallons of water ... 30 plants

x gallons of water = ? ... 45 plants

If you would like to know how much water will it take to water 45 plants, you can calculate this using the following steps:

4 * 45 = x * 30

180 = 30 * x /30

x = 180 / 30

x = 6 gallons of water

Result: You will use 6 gallons of water to water 45 plants.

Answer:

$10x^{2}-34$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we are told equivalent expressions for y and z we can plug those in to 2(y+z).

$2((3x^{2}+x^{2}-5)+(x^{2}-12))$

Then simplify by combining like terms of the expressions. Values ending in x^2 can be combined with each other.

$2(5x^{2}-17)$

Now we can distribute the 2 by multiplying each value in the parentheses by 2.

$10x^{2}-34$

Suzanne has purchased a car with a list price of $23,860. She traded in her previous car, which was a Dodge in good condition, a

Alinara [238K]

The interest is 11.62% compounded monthly. Converting this to an effective rate:
i = (1 + 0.1162/12)^12 - 1
i = 0.1226

We use this formula to solve the problem:
455.96 = (23860(1.0811) + 1695 + 228 - C) [0.0811(1+0.0811)^3]/[(1+0.0811)^3 - 1]
Solving for C
C = 4413.13

The cost of her car was $4,413.13.
