Answer: sally initially has $240, Tom initially has $180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial amount of money sally has = x

Then, initial amount tom has = 75% * x = 0.75x

Now to present,

Amount sally has = x -120

Amount tom has = [x - 120] + [50% * (x-120)]

= x - 120 + 0.5x - 180

= 1.5x - 180

Since Tom didn't spend, it means this is the same amount tom has then we equate both equations.

0.75x = 1.5x - 180

180 = 0.75x

x = 240

Therefore, initial money of sally of sally = $240

Initial money of tom = 240 * 0.75 = $180.

seraphim [82]

One person being nervous around strangers is assumed  independent of other people behaviour. Then, the multiplication rule can be applied as

both nervous = 0.14*0.14 = 0.0196 = 1.96%

one is nervous, one is not nervous = 0.14*(1-0.14) = 0.1204 = 12.04%

At least one nervous = 1.96%  + 12.04% = 14%

Write an equation of the line perpendicular to the line 8x+15y=12 and containing the point (11,17) write the answer in standard
jek_recluse [69]

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of that line or:

m1 = -1/m2

First, we convert the given equation into slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx + b

8x + 15y = 12

15y = -8x + 12

y = (-8/15) x + 0.8

m1 = -8 / 15

 

Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is:

m2 = 15 / 8

 

Since the perpendicular line crosses the point (11, 17), therefore using the slope formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

15 / 8 = (y2 – 17) / (x2 – 11)

1.875 (x2 – 11) = y2 – 17

1.875 x2 – 20.625 = y2 – 17

y2 = 1.875 x2 – 3.625

y = (15/8) x – 3.625

multiplying both sides by 8:

8y = 15x – 29

rewriting in standard form:
