A=P(1-24/100)⁸

15,542 =P(0.76)⁸

P= (15,542)/(0.76)₂

P= 15,542/0.111303

P = 139,836

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+9-7x=x+10+x\\-4x+9=2x+10\\-6x+9=10\\$

In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.

78% of those surveyed at the fair bought popcorn statistic or parameter

vlada-n [284]

Step-by-step explanation:

78% of those surveyed bought popcorn statistic or parameter. This means that significantly more than half of the given population bought popcorn statistic or parameter.

If the population is, say ten thousand, then 78% of 10000 is

10000 × 78/100 = 7800.

Which is more than half the whole population.
