Since 75% = 3/4
then $15 = 3/4 of the original price

Divide 15 ÷ 3 to get the 25% of the original price
(1/4 of the price)

15 ÷ 3 = 5

$5 is the 25% of the original price

so, if 25% + 75% = 100%
then $5 + $15 = $20

The original price for the sweaters was $20.

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that has a slope of 1/5 and contains (-10,6)
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5} x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = \frac{1}{5}, hence

y = \frac{1}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 10, 6) into the partial equation

6 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 2 = 8

y = \frac{1}{5} x + 8

While conducting experiments, a marine biologist selects water depths from a uniformly distributed collection that vary between
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m is 0.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> denote the water depths.

As the variable water depths is continuous variable, the random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution with parameters <em>a</em> = 2.00 m and <em>b</em> = 7.00 m.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{b-a};\ a

Compute the probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m as follows:

P(2.25

                               =\frac{1}{5.00}\int\limits^{5.00}_{2.25} {1} \, dx\\\\=0.20\times [x]^{5.00}_{2.25} \\\\=0.20\times (5.00-2.25)\\\\=0.55

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m is 0.55.

Solve the equation. 9x−(3x+9)=2x−25 Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes in your choice. A. The solution
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: Choice A, x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 9x−(3x+9)=2x−25

2. 9x-3x-9=2x-25

3. 6x-9=2x-25

4. 6x-9=2x-25  

   -2x          -2x

5. 4x-9=-25

       +9    +9

6. 4x=-16 (divide both sides by 4)

7. x=-4
